Ted Lasso will return on August 5, with Season 4 set to premiere globally and new episodes dropping weekly on Wednesdays. The teaser shows Ted heading back to southwest London for a new challenge: coaching a second division women’s football team in Richmond.
Hannah Waddingham is back for ted lasso season 4, along with Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift. The new cast includes Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern and Grant Feely, who will play Henry, now 12 years old.
The return arrives after three seasons that turned the series into one of streaming’s most watched comedies, and after months of rumors that only grew louder before the confirmation. Jason Sudeikis had already said he was returning on the New Heights podcast, while the release was finally locked in with a teaser and first-look image.
That timing matters because the show is not starting over from scratch. Season 4 is based on a preexisting format and characters from NBC Sports, and Jack Burditt is joining as executive producer under a new overall deal with Apple TV. Behind the reunion is a practical reset: Ted is back in Richmond, but the job is different, the roster is changing and Henry is no longer the young boy fans last saw played by Gus Turner.
The question answered by the new season is not whether Ted Lasso returns. He does. The bigger test is whether the series can keep its footing as it moves from the familiar world of Richmond into a women’s team, a new cast and a story that has already outgrown the version viewers first met.
