Apple TV+ has officially announced the summer 2026 premiere of the highly anticipated fourth season of its Emmy-winning comedy series ‘Ted Lasso,’ with star and executive producer Jason Sudeikis returning as the beloved American football coach. The streaming platform released exclusive first-look images revealing the new narrative direction for the acclaimed series.
The upcoming season will follow Ted Lasso’s return to Richmond, where he faces his most challenging coaching assignment yet: leading a second-division women’s football team. Production images showcase Sudeikis alongside returning cast member Brendan Hunt as Coach Beard, joined by new addition Tanya Reynolds as a fresh-faced assistant coach.
Significant casting changes include Grant Feely assuming the role of Ted’s son Henry, following a recasting decision prior to production. Authentic scenes captured at Mae Green’s iconic Crown & Anchor pub in London depict heartfelt moments between father and son.
Narrative continuity will bridge the geographical divide between Kansas, where Season 3 concluded with Ted’s homecoming, and his subsequent return to London accompanied by Henry. Initial filming commenced in July throughout Kansas City, Sudeikis’ hometown, adding authentic Midwestern backdrop to the series’ signature transatlantic charm.
The series continues to blend heartfelt storytelling with comedic excellence, maintaining its reputation for character-driven narratives that explore themes of personal growth, cultural adaptation, and the universal language of sportsmanship.
