Dubbed the Lady Greyhounds, the team is in the Second Division and in need of a shake-up: one only Ted Lasso<\/a> can give. <\/p>\n While his return to Richmond is welcomed by fans, Sudeikis admits season 4 almost looked completely different \u2013 and a world away from the show\u2019s South-West London home. <\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to Radio Times<\/a>, Sudeikis said: “[In] the early, early stages, we had a couple ideas of maybe coaching over here in the States. <\/p>\n Brendan Hunt, Jason Sudeikis and Tanya Reynolds star in Ted Lasso season 4.\u00a0Apple TV<\/p>\n “To keep Rebecca and the Richmond family in the mix, maybe she bought a team over here, maybe a women’s team over here. But then the natural thing just felt like\u2026 just locking into the women’s team and then accepting the premise that ‘No, he’s going to go back.'” <\/p>\n He added that the next hurdle would be figuring out how to get Ted to go back on UK soil, especially after he decided to return to Kansas to be closer to his son, Henry, at the end of season 3. <\/p>\n “The why, that’s part of the fun of writing,” he said. “And usually those kind of whys happen really quickly, because then you can get to the fun of character building with the new characters and coming up with stories and story arcs and just get to the writing. <\/p>\n “Even though there’s a great deal of thinking, a lot of times in writing, sometimes I think people would be shocked how much more thinking and talking there is than actual fingers on keys,” Sudeikis added. <\/p>\n “But you just gotta accept that premise and just support it in whatever way possible, and that’s what we end up going with pretty quickly.” <\/p>\n With the new team comes a whole new host of characters to get to know and love, with Brendan Hunt, who plays Coach Beard, adding during the discussion that Tanya Reynolds \u2013 who will be starring alongside them as the female Coach \u2013 became a key member of the established “Diamond Dogs” within the management office. <\/p>\n “What was incredible about Tanya was that she didn’t shake it up; like she just fit right in,” he told us. “Especially the scenes where we’re triangulated at our desks and bantering with each other. <\/p>\n “Those were far and away the most fun scenes to shoot this season.”<\/p>\n Ted Lasso season 4 starts 5 August on Apple TV.
