Fans of “Ted Lasso” finally have a reason to believe again.
Apple TV announced on April 28 that Season 4 of the hit series will premiere on Wednesday, Aug. 5 and released a first look at Ted Lasso’s return to London.
The teaser shows Ted (Jason Sudeikis) back on the pitch, coaching a second-division women’s football team.
“Welcome back, Coach,” a passerby says as Ted walks down the street. “Too bad you’re coaching a bunch of girls, ya wanker.”
After Ted returned home to reconcile with his wife Michelle (Andrea Anders) at the end of season 3, she and the couple’s son Henry (Grant Feely) can be seen cheering on Richard.
As for Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham), she appears to have rekindled her romance with pilot beau Matthijs (Matteo van der Grijn) while tensions are high between exes Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) and Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein).
Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) also makes an appearance as he attends his wife Jane Payne’s (Phoebe Walsh) one-woman show alongside Ted.
The clip also includes a first look at new cast members: Tanya Reynolds, Tracy Ullman, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey and Abbie Hern.
The upcoming season will chronicle Ted “taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team,” according to an official synopsis. “Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.”
The trailer comes more than a year after season 4 was announced in March 2025.
“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,” Sudeikis, 50, said in a press release at the time. “In season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to ‘leap before they look,’ discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be.”
After fans clamored for a fourth season, Sudeikis told Entertainment Weekly in 2023, “I hear people loud and clear.”
“I take it as a compliment, we all do, that people would want more,” he shared. “But the stories have to service that endeavor. It can’t be the other way around. But this story is being told the way we had hoped and dreamed that it would be told and the fact that we got to do that is thrilling enough. But, yeah, I can’t give you a definitive answer of if it were to come back and not set myself up to being called a liar.”
“Ted Lasso” season 4 premieres Aug. 5 on Apple TV.
