Fans of Ted Lasso have exciting news to celebrate. The popular comedy series is returning for a fourth season on Apple TV. Many viewers believed the show had ended after Season Three in 2023. However, Apple TV renewed the series in March 2025. The new season will premiere on August 5, 2026.
This time, the story takes a fresh direction. Ted Lasso returns to Richmond to coach a women's football team. The idea was hinted at in the Season Three finale. Keeley Jones pitched the concept of a women's team to Rebecca Welton. Now, that idea has become the foundation for the entire new season.
Star Hannah Waddingham has expressed her excitement about the comeback. She admitted that she feared the show was slowly ebbing away during the break. Waddingham said not playing Rebecca again felt like losing a close friend. She also praised the writing, promising fans a wonderful season ahead. The genuine affection among the cast has clearly remained strong over the years.
The show originally became an emotional lifeline during the difficult COVID era. It won thirteen Emmy Awards and attracted 283 million viewing hours in 2023. If the new season captures that same spirit, audiences worldwide would be thrilled. Whether the show continues beyond Season Four remains uncertain for now.
