'Ted Lasso' shares first looks at season four

Apple TV+ revealed the first official looks at season four from the popular and beloved series, Ted Lasso.

With a premiere date scheduled for the summer of 2026, the platform shares four images of the long-awaited return of the Emmy-winning series.

In the images we see Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) back in Richmond, where he will take on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women's soccer team.

In the photos we take a look at Ted alongside Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) and a new assistant coach played by new cast member, Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education), who we also see in another image accompanying Ted; Ted also appears in another image with his son Henry, now played by Grant Feelyat Mae Green's popular Crown & Anchor pub (Annette Badland) in London; the last photo shows the return of Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Walton in front of a private jet from Richmond, being greeted by Ted and his famous cookies.

• Feely plays Henry, Ted's son, in a recasting of the role played by Gus Turner in the previous seasons.

Notably absent, but confirmed to be in the fourth season, are Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins, Juno Temple like Keeley Jones, and Brett Goldstein Like Roy Kent.

All images are available at the end of the note.

Other new cast members include Jude Mack (Back in Action), Faye Marsay (Andor), Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkeyy Abbie Hern.

The beginning of production on the fourth season began in July of last year in Kansas City, Missouri, where the first episode is set. Production later moved to London, where they are still filming.

Kansas City is the hometown of Ted Lasso – and that of Sudeikis. And in case you don't remember, we tell you that the third season ended with Ted deciding to leave Richmond and return home to be closer to his son and his ex-wife (Andrea Anders), while other members of the Richmond family embarked on new professional and personal stages.

Season 4 will follow Ted on his return to Richmond to coach a second division women's teamcreated under the Keeley and Rebecca's new partnershipas we saw in the finale of the third season.

Sudeikis returns as star, executive producer and co-creator.

“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to 'look before you leap,' in season four, the people of AFC Richmond learn to JUMP BEFORE YOU LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, is exactly where they are meant to be.”

Ted Lasso is based on a character Sudeikis played in a series of NBC Sports Premier League promos. Sudeikis developed the series with Brendan Hunt, Joe Kellyy Bill Lawrence; Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent, is another of the series' writers.

Sarah Walker and Phoebe Walsh joined as writers and producers for the fourth season.

Jack Burditt (Nobody Wants This, 30 Rock) is executive producer of the fourth season, along with Sudeikis, Hunt, Kelly, Lawrence, and Goldstein. Leanne Bowen, Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer are other executive producers.

Warner Bros. TV produces the series along with Universal TV and Doozer.
