'Ted Lasso' Season 4's New Cast Will Fix a Major Plot Problem
He's back! In 2026, the long-awaited fourth season of Ted Lassowill finally stream on Apple TV. It's been three long years since Season 3 aired, and, at the time, seemingly ended the series. At the end of that season, the titular American coach, who got stuck coaching a U.K. football league (soccer team), headed back to Kansas to coach his son's soccer team. So, where does that leave Ted Lasso Season 4?
Well, it's been revealed that much of Season 4 will focus on Ted returning to the U.K., at least part of the time, to help Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) start a new women's football team. And, as of January 2026, Apple TV has released new photos, a few new plot details, confirmed cast members, and crucially, hinted at a release window for Ted Lasso Season 4. Here's everything we know right now.
Ted Lasso Season 4 Cast
According to Deadline, a bit chunk of the original Ted Lasso will return for Season 4, along with some new faces. Here's what's been confirmed.
- Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso
- Brett Goldstein as Roy Kent
- Juno Temple as Keeley Jones
- Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton
- Brendan Hunt as Coach Beard
- Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins
And, new cast members include:
- Tanya Reynolds, as a new assistant coach for a women's team
- Grant Feely as Ted's son Gun (not a new character, but a new actor is playing him)
- Faye Marsey (of Andor fame)
- Jude Mack
- Rex Hayes
- Aisling Sharkey
- Abbie Hern
Ted Lasso Season 4 Plot and Trailer
The addition of several new characters, specifically Tanya Reynolds as the new assistant coach of the women's team, seems to fix the basic issue with even doing a fourth season of the show. The third season pretty much ended the story of Lasso's involvement with the Richmond team, so how is he pulled back in? Apparently, the creation of the new women's team is the answer. Can't have Ted Lasso without a scrappy team trying to do their all, so now, it just remains to be seen how Reynold's new character gets along with Ted.
There's no new trailer yet, so we'll have to wait for that to really get a sense of their dynamic.
Ted Lasso Season 4 Release Date
Apple TV has not fully confirmed an exact release date for the new season. However, we do know Ted Lasso Season 4 will be released sometime in the summer of 2026.
