Jason Sudeikis Returns to AFC Richmond as Apple TV Unveils Ted Lasso Season 4 Trailer
Apple TV has debuted the first full trailer for Ted Lasso Season 4, following a three-year hiatus. The upcoming season shifts focus to a new women's team coached by the titular character.
A Shift in Focus for AFC Richmond
The first full look at Ted Lasso Season 4 confirms a significant pivot for the Emmy-winning series. After concluding his tenure in England and returning to Kansas in 2023, Ted Lasso returns to Richmond to manage the club's inaugural women’s squad. Set to compete in the second division, this new team becomes the narrative anchor for a series that previously centered entirely on men's professional football.
Familiar Faces and New Talent
The trailer, featuring Mumford & Sons' track "Run Together," confirms the return of the show's core ensemble. Supporting Ted in this fresh endeavor are established characters including:
- Rebecca Welton and Leslie Higgins overseeing club operations.
- Roy Kent and Coach Beard returning to the technical staff.
- Keeley Jones continuing her role in public relations.
The expansion of the AFC Richmond universe introduces a new wave of cast members. Joining the production are Tanya Reynolds, Faye Marsay, Jude Mack, Aisling Sharkey, and Rex Hayes. This selection of actors will portray the athletes and staff of the burgeoning women's side as they navigate the pressures of professional sport.
Production Details and Premiere Date
Apple TV positions the fourth season as a new entry point for the series rather than a direct extension of the previous arc. Developed by the creative team of Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly, the show maintains its reputation as a flagship property for the streaming service, having previously secured consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series.
Viewers can expect the weekly rollout to begin later this summer. Ted Lasso Season 4 premieres on August 5 on Apple TV.
