\n\tThe fourth season of Ted Lasso<\/a> is underway, with filming beginning Monday and the core of the show\u2019s cast returning. Several actors have also joined the Apple TV+<\/a> series, which will find its title character (Jason Sudeikis<\/a>) taking on the coaching of a women\u2019s soccer team.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a long period of speculation about the show\u2019s future following its third season finale<\/a> in May 2023, Apple officially ordered a fourth season<\/a> in March. Sudeikis was the only castmember that Apple would confirm at that time, but producer Warner Bros. TV had previously picked up options<\/a> for Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein and Jeremy Swift, who play, respectively, AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, player turned assistant coach Roy Kent and Leslie Higgins, Rebecca\u2019s right-hand man at the club. All three are returning, as are Juno Temple (Keeley Jones) and Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), who at the time of the season four pickup were in negotiations to reprise their roles.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with the six returning actors, Ted Lasso will feature seven new actors in Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education), Jude Mack (Netflix\u2019s Back in Action), Faye Marsay (Andor), Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern (My Lady Jane, Enola Holmes 2) and Grant Feely. Feely will play Ted\u2019s son, Henry, taking over the role from Gus Turner, who played Henry in the previous seasons. Details on the other actors\u2019 roles are being kept quiet for now.<\/p>\n

\n\tFilming began Monday in Kansas City, Missouri, the hometown of both Sudeikis and Ted Lasso. Season three ended with Ted deciding to leave Richmond and return home to be closer to his son and ex-wife (Andrea Anders), while other members of the Richmond family were moving on to new parts of their lives.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe coming season will follow Ted as he returns to Richmond (with the production also shifting to London) to coach a second division women\u2019s team. \u201cThroughout the course of the season,\u201d the logline reads, \u201cTed and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSudeikis, Hunt, Bill Lawrence and Joe Kelly developed Ted Lasso, based on a character Sudeikis played in a series of NBC Sports commercials for the English Premier League. They all return as executive producers for season four. Jack Burditt (Nobody Wants This, 30 Rock) will also exec produce as part of a recently signed overall deal with Apple TV+, along with writers Goldstein and Leanne Bowen, and Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer of Lawrence\u2019s Doozer Productions. Sarah Waker and Phoebe Walsh are writers and co-EPs, and Sasha Garron is a co-producer. Julia Lindon is a writer, and Dylan Marron is story editor. Warner Bros. TV produces with Universal TV and Doozer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fourth season of Ted Lasso is underway, with filming beginning Monday and the core of the show\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13859,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[9265,96,9266,9267,391,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-13858","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-apple-tv","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-jason-sudeikis","11":"tag-ted-lasso","12":"tag-tv","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13858"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13858\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
