Ted Lasso is back!
On Tuesday, April 28, Apple TV announced the premiere date for the sitcom's highly-anticipated fourth season and shared the first teaser for the forthcoming installment.
The footage opens with Jason Sudeikis' title character getting out of bed, before panning to glimpses of other main players in the crew — including Hannah Waddingham's Rebecca Welton, Juno Temple's Keeley Jones and Brett Goldstein's Roy Kent.
After flashes of a few other familiar faces, Ted gets called a "wanker," rocks some sunglasses, and finds himself in a few apparent predicaments. The teaser closes with him dropping the abbreviation, "ASAP PP," which he calls "as soon as possible, pretty please."
Season 4 will also see the return of stars Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift, with newcomers Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern and Grant Feely added to the mix. The new season, according to a synopsis, follows Ted as he "returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team."

Jack Burditt boards season 4 as executive producer, with Sudeikis, 50, starring and executive producing alongside Hunt, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee and Bill Wrubel. Goldstein will write and executive produce alongside Leann Bowen.
Other members of the Lasso team include Sarah Walker and Phoebe Walsh (writers and producers), Sasha Garron (co-producer), Julia Lindon (writer) and Dylan Marron (story editor), with Bill Lawrence, Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer executive producing.
The show, which premiered in August 2020, wrapped its third season in May 2023 and was renewed by Apple TV for a fourth season in March 2025. It has won 13 Emmys and two Golden Globes.
Sudeikis previously told Deadline after season 3 that the comedy had an original vision as a three-season arc, calling it "the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell." Season 3 wrapped with Ted heading back to the U.S. to be with his son. Roy took over AFC Richmond in his place, however, the beloved coach is heading back to the U.K. in the new batch of episodes.

“The fact that folks will want more and are curious beyond more than what they don’t even know yet — that being season 3 — it’s flattering,” he said at the time.
Season 4 of Ted Lasso premieres Aug. 5, with new episodes dropping Wednesdays through Oct. 7.
