Ted Lasso is almost back (watch on Apple TV<\/a>), with season 4 premiering this Tuesday, August 4 at 9:00 p.m. ET \/ 6:00 p.m. PT. Here are two major changes to expect from the new season of Ted Lasso.<\/p>\n #1: Brand new cast members, but also key departures as plot focuses on women\u2019s team<\/p>\n Ted Lasso season 4 features many of the beloved characters from prior seasons, like Ted, Rebecca, Keeley, Roy, and Coach Beard.<\/p>\n But there\u2019s also significant cast turnover<\/a> due to the new plot now centering on a women\u2019s team: the Lady Greyhounds.<\/p>\n Newcomers in season 4 include Tanya Reynolds as Alice Chilton, who coaches alongside Lasso, plus Lady Greyhounds players: Abbie Hern as Gemma, Jude Mack as Boots, Faye Marsay as Lizzie, and a pair of twins, Aisling Sharkey as Niamh and Rex Hayes as Siobhan.<\/p>\n The men from AFC Richmond are not returning as regular cast members. Jamie Tartt, Dani Rojas, Sam Obisanya, Isaac McAdoo, and Colin Hughes will be missing\u2014though some might appear in cameos.<\/p>\n Nick Mohammed, who played Nate in seasons 1-3, might return in some capacity but it\u2019s not clear at the moment.<\/p>\n #2: Behind-the-scenes creative shakeup<\/p>\n For Ted Lasso\u2019s first couple seasons, co-creator Bill Lawrence was heavily involved in the show alongside Jason Sudeikis. Lawrence is also known for Apple TV\u2019s Shrinking<\/a> and Bad Monkey<\/a>, and other hits like Scrubs and HBO\u2019s Rooster.<\/p>\n Notably, on season 3 Lawrence had virtually no involvement. And by most accounts, the show suffered creatively as a result.<\/p>\n So for season 4, Apple brought in Jack Burditt to help Sudeikis. Per The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>:<\/p>\n Jack Burditt, whose r\u00e9sum\u00e9 is stuffed with hit sitcoms like\u00a030 Rock\u00a0and\u00a0Modern Family, seemed ideally suited, but, as he\u2019d very clearly told his reps, he was done being a showrunner-for-hire\u2026That they\u2019d be running it together made it more palatable, as did the outsize success of the show. Plus, Sudeikis seemed to know that he needed help, and the delineation of duties was largely clear.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was like, \u2018I need someone to put up the walls, and I\u2019ll hang the art,\u2019\u201d says Burditt, who understood that to mean that his job would be to keep the show on budget and on schedule while Sudeikis would continue to be the creative engine<\/p>\n Previous reporting<\/a> said Burditt also co-ran the writer\u2019s room on season 4. Early indications are that the new season is a welcome return to form after the uneven season 3.<\/p>\n Are you excited for Ted Lasso\u2019s season 4 return?
