'Ted Lasso' Season 4 Reportedly Tells 'Different Story' - Creator Bill Lawrence Describes It As 'Almost A Self-Reboot'

Most “Ted Lasso“Fans are aware that updates have been few and far between regarding any type of future for the series. However, a new year brings little updated for a possible season 4, thanks to co-creator Bill Lawrence.

In a recent interview with The Los Angeles TimesLawrence teased what fans can expect from “Ted Lasso” Season 4 when asked about continuing the saga: “One thing that (Jason Sudeikis) has always been very clear about, without giving anything away, is is that the story we imagined for the first three seasons was Ted Lasso had a beginning, a middle and an end; no doubt it had an end, we saw him jumping around and going home.

Since the series was originally conceived as a three-part story for Apple TV Plusit’s understandable why fans are both curious and concerned about how this will continue without losing its essence.

Fortunately, Lawrence reassures, sharing additional insights from Sudeikis: “I don’t want to speak for him, but it would be interesting to see that there’s always another story to tell with characters that people love, but it’s a different story. . It’s almost a self-restart. I think he (Sudeikis) always had another story in mind that he wanted to tell.

This blunt quote makes it seem like the “Ted Lasso” sequel is a concept Sudeikis had in mind for some time. While this is all the information available at the moment, it will likely be a while before we receive any further updates on the future of “Ted Lasso.”

If you’re desperate to know more, here’s what we know so far about ‘Ted Lasso’ season 4 and what we can expect.

Although Apple TV Plus does not yet have officially Greenlights Highly Anticipated Fourth Season, Warner Bros. Chairman and CEO Channing Dungey TV Group recently shared updates on its development (h/t Variety): “We’re talking about season four, and they’re very exciting conversations, but it’s still early.”

Dungey also hinted that Jason Sudeikis, who plays Coach Lasso, seems set to return in some capacity. “We’ve always been clear that there wouldn’t be more Ted Lasso if Jason and (the) team weren’t excited about it, and I can tell you firsthand that he’s in a place where he feels really excited and feels good about it.

In early October 2024, this was reported by the author of MacStories Judge Sigmund that “Ted Lasso” Season 4 Reportedly Enters Pre-Production in January 2025. This news followed a report from Deadline a few months earlier, which revealed that Warner Bros. Television had renewed the contracts of three key stars of the series. These include Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins), all of whom are central characters in the series.

We don’t know much else regarding the release window or the plot, but we can make an educated guess on what it might be about. Season 3 of “Ted Lasso” ended with Ted (Jason Sudeikis) leaving AFC Richmond to return to Kansas and focus on his son, marking the conclusion of his trip to England. Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) decides to keep the club and pursue personal happiness, while Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) becomes head coach, signaling his growth. Nate Shelley (Nick Mohammed) finds redemption and joins the team.

In Season 4, the narrative could focus on life at AFC Richmond without Ted, focusing on Roy’s leadership, Nate’s redemption, and Rebecca’s personal journey. Ted could reappear in Kansas with a limited role or cameo, as his arc largely concluded in season 3.
