Apple TV Drops the ‘Ted Lasso’ Season Four Trailer, Sending Ted to Coach a Women's Team
Premiering this August.
Summary
Apple TV has released the trailer for the fourth season of the global hit 'Ted Lasso,' led by Jason Sudeikis
Season four sends Ted back to Richmond to take on a second-division women's football team
The ten-episode season premieres August 5 and runs weekly through October 7
Ted Lasso is officially returning for a fourth season, with Apple TV releasing a first look that finds the relentlessly optimistic coach facing an entirely new challenge. This time out, Ted (Jason Sudeikis) heads back to Richmond to coach a second-division women’s football team, a premise that reframes the show’s familiar underdog formula around a fresh roster and a different corner of the sport.
The new season leans into that leap-of-faith spirit as its central theme, with the trailer signaling that Ted and his players learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would. It marks a notable shift for a series that spent its first three seasons chronicling a men’s Premier League side, moving Ted into the women’s game while keeping him anchored to the club and the town that defined his story. The setup preserves the show’s core appeal, its warmth and its faith in people, while giving the fourth season a clear reason to exist beyond nostalgia. That return carries weight because of how large Ted Lasso loomed at its peak. The show became one of Apple TV’s signature titles after its 2020 debut, growing from a sleeper into an awards juggernaut and a genuine cultural touchstone built on kindness rather than cynicism. Its earlier seasons racked up a substantial haul of Emmy recognition, a pedigree the source underscores by pointing to the Emmy pedigree of stars Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham and creatives like Brett Goldstein and Jack Burditt. A fourth season arrives, then, as both a continuation and a test of whether that lightning can strike again.
The cast reunites a deep bench of fan favorites, with Waddingham, Juno Temple, Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift all returning to Richmond. They are joined by a wave of new additions including Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely. Behind the camera, Sudeikis executive produces alongside Hunt, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, and Bill Wrubel, with Burditt joining as an executive producer under a new overall deal with Apple TV. Goldstein returns as a writer and executive producer with Leann Bowen, while Bill Lawrence executive produces through his Doozer Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television. The series remains rooted in the format and characters first developed for NBC Sports, the seed from which the whole phenomenon grew.
Watch the new trailer above. Ted Lasso season four premieres August 5 on Apple TV.
