Apple darling "Ted Lasso" is headed back to the small screen, with Apple TV officially setting a premiere date and sharing a new season 4 teaser.
In season 4, Ted makes his way back to Richmond to coach a second-division women's football team. The task will challenge both Ted and his team, encouraging them to take chances they never thought they would.
In preparation, Apple TV has shared a minute-long teaser, in addition to finally giving us a premiere date: August 5.
Season four will see the return of fan favorites like Emmy Award winner Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Emmy Award winner Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift. It will also see new faces, including Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely.
"Ted Lasso" was Apple's first breakout hit, smashing previous viewership records. A brief skim through the comments of the season four teaser shows that fans are excited to see the series make a return.
The series has enjoyed critical praise for its witty writing and optimistic message. Jason Sudeikis won a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild best actor awards for his portrayal of the titular Ted Lasso.
Along with "Severance" and "Pluribus", "Ted Lasso" was a significant subscription driver for Apple's streaming service. The show was supposed to end after the third season, but in 2024, industry listings showed that cast members were being contracted for a return.
