• Ted Lasso season 4 is officially in the works for Apple TV+
• The announcement was made today (March 14)
• A fourth season has long been rumored to be in development

It’s official: Ted Lasso is dusting off his AFC Richmond gear and returning for a fourth season on Apple TV+.

In a press release, Apple confirmed that it’s kicked off development on another installment of one of its most successful TV Originals. Jason Sudeikis, who played the titular US soccer coach in the sports comedy’s first three seasons, will reprise his multi-award-winning role in Ted Lasso season 4, too.

In a statement accompanying the reveal, Sudeikis, who also executively produces one of the best Apple TV+ shows ever made, teased what to expect from the series’ forthcoming chapter.

“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap’,” Sudeikis wrote, “Season four [will see] the folks at AFC Richmond learn to ‘leap before they look’ [and] discovering that, wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be.”

“Ted Lasso has been nothing short of a juggernaut, inspiring a passionate fanbase all over the world, and delivering endless joy and laughter, all while spreading kindness, compassion and unwavering belief,” Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+ Head of Programming, also said in a statement. “Everyone at Apple is thrilled to be continuing our collaboration with Jason and the brilliant creative minds behind this show.”
