Jason Sudeikis Sets Ted Lasso Season 4 for August 5, 2026
jason sudeikis is bringing Ted Lasso back on August 5, 2026. Apple TV says the fourth season will debut globally with one episode, then roll out new episodes every Wednesday through October 7.
Richmond Returns
Sudeikis stars in the series and executive produces it, which keeps the show centered on the same creative force that made it a breakout title. Ted Lasso was developed by Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Joe Kelly and Brendan Hunt, and the first season became the most Emmy Award-nominated comedy series.
The franchise already has a business case built in. The first three seasons are streaming globally on Apple TV, so the platform is not relaunching the title from zero; it is extending a library asset that already has audience awareness and awards leverage.
Women’s Team Shift
Season four sends Ted back to Richmond, where he will coach a second division women’s football team. That move gives the series a new competitive setting while keeping the same club identity, and it broadens the show beyond the men’s side that powered the earlier seasons.
Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift are returning, while Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern and Grant Feely join the cast. Jack Burditt also comes in as an executive producer under a new overall deal with Apple TV, a sign that the company is still investing in the brand around the series itself.
Apple TV’s Award Winner
Ted Lasso won back-to-back Outstanding Comedy Series Emmys for its first two seasons, and that track record is part of why this date matters. A set premiere gives Apple TV a fixed window to market one of its most durable comedies instead of leaving the return open-ended.
For viewers, the practical move is simple: the first three seasons are already available, and the new season starts on August 5 with a weekly release cadence that runs through October 7. For Apple TV, the rollout turns a returning hit into a sustained late-summer and fall programming run rather than a one-night event.
