Ted Lasso is back on our screens next week and with the release of the trailer just a couple of days ago, excitement for the new instalment is at a glorious high.
The trailer marked the heartwarming return of Ted (Jason Sudeikis) and some of the show’s beloved favourites like Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein), Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) and Keeley Jones (Juno Temple).
This time around, Ted will be turning his attention to coaching the AFC Richmond Women’s Team, with Sudeikis previously confirming that news in an episode of the New Heights podcast.
Waddingham recently teased that fans should be very excited about the new episodes, telling Radio Times during an exclusive interview that: “The writing just continues to excel like it always has, and we have our Lady Greyhounds!”
So, when will the fourth season of Ted Lasso land? And which new additions are there to the cast? Read on for everything you need to know about Ted Lasso season 4.
When will Ted Lasso season 4 be released?

It’s now been confirmed: Ted Lasso season 4 will debut on Apple TV on Wednesday 5 August 2026.
The 10 episodes will then be released weekly – as with previous runs of the show – leading up to the season finale on 7 October.
The announcement was made in April 2026 and was accompanied by a brand-new image from the upcoming season, which you can see above.
What will Ted Lasso season 4 be about?
As mentioned above, the new season will see Ted return to AFC Richmond to coach the women’s team – who have been languishing below their potential.
The official synopsis reads: “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. “
In February, Hannah Waddingham told Deadline that the new season would be “a whole different deal” and that she “can’t wait for everyone to see what they’ve come up with”.

Jason Sudeikis is set to return as his beloved character as he turns his hand to coaching a women’s team in season 4.
Meanwhile, other former cast members confirmed to return are Rebecca Walton star Hannah Waddingham, Leslie Higgins star Jeremy Swift, Coach Beard star Brendan Hunt, Keeley Jones star Juno Temple and Roy Kent star Brett Goldstein.
Meanwhile, there are also several new faces in the cast – including Sex Education and The Other Bennet Sister star Tanya Reynolds as an assistant coach for the women’s team.
The other stars joining the ensemble include Jude Mack (Prime Target), Faye Marsay (Andor), Rex Hayes (The Pact), Aisling Sharkey (Jurassic World: Dominion), Abbie Hern (My Lady Jane) and Grant Feely (Obi-Wan Kenobi), the latter of whom is taking over the expanded role of Ted’s son, Henry.
With regards to the rest of the cast, Nick Mohammed has frequently expressed his desire to return as Nate, and has strongly hinted that he could be back despite it not yet being officially confirmed.
Speaking to Radio Times in January, he said: “It’s all speculative as to whether Nate will be back, but this is a show that’s focusing on the women’s football team. But yes, really exciting it’s back.”
We expect we’ll probably see him at some point during the season!
Ellie Taylor, who played Sassy in a recurring role across all three seasons, previously said she has “absolutely no idea” about the future of the series and whether she will be involved, but confirmed that she would “love to be”.
