Coach Ted Lasso is lacing up his sneakers once again, but this time, the stakes are higher and the squad looks a little different.
Apple TV has officially dropped the first trailer for the fourth season of its Emmy-winning powerhouse comedy “Ted Lasso.” The ten-episode season is set to premiere globally on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, with new episodes dropping weekly every Wednesday through October 7.
The Future in Richmond is Female
Following the events of the previous seasons, Season 4 sees Jason Sudeikis’s eternal optimist return to Richmond for his biggest managerial curveball yet: taking charge of a second-division women’s football team, the Lady Greyhounds. According to Apple, the new season centers around theme of taking leaps of faith: coaching both Ted and the team to “leap before they look” and take chances they never thought possible.
Fans will see plenty of familiar faces returning to the pitch and the front office, including:
- Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton)
- Juno Temple (Keeley Jones)

- Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard)
- Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins)
Joining the core ensemble this season is a fresh lineup of new additions, including Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely.
Behind the Scenes
Sudeikis continues to lead the series both on-screen and off as executive producer alongside co-creators Brendan Hunt and Joe Kelly. Emmy winner Jack Burditt joins as executive producer for Season 4 under a new overall deal with Apple TV, alongside regular showrunners and executive producers Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, Bill Wrubel, Jeff Ingold, and Liza Katzer.
The series is produced by Doozer Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television.
A Streaming Juggernaut Returns
Since its debut in 2020, “Ted Lasso” has grown from a sleeper hit into one of Apple TV’s flagship properties. The show made history early on as the most Emmy-nominated freshman comedy series in history, subsequently clinching back-to-back wins for Outstanding Comedy Series for its first two seasons.
The announcement comes as Apple TV continues to build on its awards momentum, bolstering a comedy roster that includes recent critical darlings alongside established hits like “Severance” and “The Studio.”
The first three seasons of “Ted Lasso” are currently streaming globally on Apple TV.
