Ted Lasso season 4: Release date speculation, cast and latest news

Sudeikis confirmed the news in an episode of the New Heights podcast, saying: "We’re writing season 4 now. That’s the official word."

"Ted’s coaching a women’s team," he added.

News of season 4 first started to come out in August 2024, when reports stated that Sudeikis would be returning to the series, despite his character heading back to America at the end of season 3.

In fact, co-creator Bill Lawrence suggested that Sudeikis's involvement was paramount to the show's continuation, telling Collider: "As fans, we’d all kill if it was going again. But everybody would say the same thing, which is: whatever Jason feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it.

"Not only is he the star, he’s the head writer, and he’s also the dude whose life just has to be completely overhauled and moved to a foreign country with young children. It’s a big deal.

"So, as a fan, if someone’s like, 'Oh, it’s gonna happen again,' I’ll go nuts. As a partner, I’m down for whatever he wants to do."

Now, we're starting to get news of the cast, with Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein and Leslie Higgins all said to be returning, while other cast members likely to return include Nick Mohammed, Brendan Hunt and Juno Temple.

Meanwhile, Mohammed has teased the season will feature a "host" of new characters - unsurprising given that it will introduce an entire new women's team.

So, when will the fourth season of Ted Lasso land? Read on for everything you need to know about Ted Lasso season 4, including who's set to star.

When will Ted Lasso season 4 be released?

A release date is yet to be revealed, but Deadline reports production is aiming to kick off in July 2025 after casting announcements.

This would mean that fans could expect the new instalment to land in 2026 or 2027.

Ted Lasso cast: Who would be back for a season 4?

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, recent reports regarding the show's future have suggested that Rebecca Walton star Hannah Waddingham, Roy Kent star Brett Goldstein and Leslie Higgins star Jeremy Swift are all set to return, with the options on their contracts having been picked up.

Coach Beard star Brendan Hunt and Keeley Jones star Juno Temple are also expected to sign new contracts to return, while it has been reported that Jamie Tartt star Phil Dunster will not be returning in a main cast capacity, potentially due to conflicting schedules.

With regards to the rest of the cast, Nick Mohammed has frequently expressed his desire to return as Nate, and has hinted that he knows more than we do about the show's future, so it would seem likely that he's on board.

He said of returning to the character, when speaking with RadioTimes.com last year: "Yeah, of course. I mean, it was such a gift of a show, we all feel so grateful for being a part of it.

"I'd love to do some more at some point, but then, equally, it came to a satisfying conclusion in terms of stories for a lot of them, a lot of the characters.

"The odd thing was set up though, so... I've got to keep my mouth shut because I keep spoiling things."

In March 2025, he told Chris Moyles on Radio X that his personal involvement hadn't been confirmed or announced - although it certainly seemed as though it could be in due course.

"Who knows what the story’s gonna be?" he said. "There’s obviously gonna be a whole host of new characters in it, so we will see."

Meanwhile, Deadline reports that casting of some of those new roles is expected to begin shortly, while the role of Ted's son Henry may be recast.

Ellie Taylor, who played Sassy in a recurring role across all three seasons, 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".
