The Ted Lasso Season 4 Trailer Is Here: Everything We Know

For a while, it really did seem like that was it.

When Ted Lasso wrapped up Season 3 in 2023, every interview with the creators read like a sign-off. We had three seasons, a clean arc, and Ted was on a plane home to Kansas City. The finale really did not leave any door open, so of course, we weren’t expecting Season 4.

And then, last year, Apple TV+ announced a fourth season anyway. Sudeikis confirmed it himself on the New Heights podcast, hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce. On April 28, the streamer dropped the first teaser, along with a release date!

Season 4 of Ted Lasso finally premieres on August 5, 2026, with episodes rolling out weekly through October 7.

The Diamond Dogs, somehow, are back!

What We Know So Far

Ted (Jason Sudeikis) is back at AFC Richmond, but the gig has changed. He’s no longer running the men’s side—that job, by the end of Season 3, had passed to Roy Kent. Ted is now coaching the club’s newly formed second-division women’s team, the venture Keeley pitched to Rebecca in the closing minutes of the last finale.

The official synopsis is short: “Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.”

There’s also a small cast change. Henry, Ted’s son, has been recast. Gus Turner is out and has been replaced with Grant Feely, who played young Luke Skywalker in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Henry is now 12, and per Apple, has grown into a serious footballer himself.

The Trailer Breakdown

The teaser is, in classic Ted Lasso fashion, more of a mood than a plot dump. Just over a minute, scored to Mumford & Sons’ “Rubber Band Man,” heavy on the montage and light on the dialogue. There’s Ted back on the pitch, there’s Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) at his side, and of course, there is Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham), apparently loved up and back at the helm.

Ted is walking through a Richmond alley when a fan clocks him. “Welcome back, Coach. Too bad you’re coaching a bunch of girls… Ya wanker.”

The few other bits we get are pure Ted. A meeting with Rebecca where he panic-bumbles through a request: “FYI, the ETA is ASAP—PP. As soon as possible, pretty please.” A flash of Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) and Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) in the same frame, yeep.

It’s warm, it’s a little chaotic, it’s recognisably the show.

The Cast

Returning: Sudeikis, Waddingham, Temple, Goldstein, Hunt, Jeremy Swift as Higgins, and Annette Badland as Mae, the landlady of the Crown & Anchor and quiet MVP of the franchise. Joining the squad for Season 4: Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely as the new Henry. Most of the new women, presumably, are the new women’s team Ted is now in charge of failing upwards with.

Behind the camera, Sudeikis executive produces alongside Hunt, with Emmy winner Jack Burditt joining the writers’ room under a fresh overall deal with Apple TV+. Goldstein continues to write and produce.

Why It Matters

Ted Lasso arrived in August 2020, into a world that very badly needed a sitcom about kindness. It promptly won back-to-back Emmys for Outstanding Comedy Series and turned Apple TV+, then less than a year old, into a streamer with an actual hit.

The risk, now, is the obvious one. The series ended well. Resurrecting a thing that ended well is a notoriously bad bet. Season 4 has to justify the comeback—new team, new tone, new stakes—without losing the small, specific warmth that made people fall for it in the first place.

The trailer suggests the team knows that. The biscuits, presumably, are in the post.

Ted Lasso Season 4 premieres August 5 on Apple TV+.
