More AFC Richmond is on the way! Apple TV+ has officially announced a fourth season of the hit comedy series Ted Lasso, with Jason Sudeikis returning as the ever-positive coach.
Here’s the Lowdown: Sudeikis, who also serves as executive producer, hinted that the new season’s theme is “leap before you look,” suggesting the characters will be taking chances and finding their place. Emmy Award winner Jack Burditt (30 Rock, Modern Family) joins as an executive producer.
What This Means Now: The return of Ted Lasso means more feel-good stories, offbeat characters, and, of course, plenty of football (soccer). The main creative team, including Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, and Bill Lawrence, remain involved, with new writers and producers joining the squad.
The Bigger Picture: Ted Lasso has become a worldwide hit, earning critical praise and numerous awards, including back-to-back Outstanding Comedy Series Emmys for its first two seasons. The show’s popularity shows a clear desire for uplifting and positive stories, and strengthens Apple TV+’s place in the streaming world. No airdate has been given.
