Summary
- Apple TV has confirmed a Wednesday premiere for the fourth season featuring a weekly rollout through early October
- The production welcomes Emmy winner Jack Burditt as executive producer under a new overall deal with the streaming platform
- The narrative specs pivot to Ted Lasso coaching a second-division women’s football team back in Richmond
Apple TV and Jason Sudeikis have officially announced the release date and shared a teaser for Ted Lasso season four. Marking the return of the Emmy Award-winning series, the upcoming installment is set to anchor the streamer’s late-summer programming block with a revised competitive focus for the AFC Richmond staff.
The narrative blueprint for the season introduces a fundamental change in the show’s sports-centric focus. After three seasons in the men’s professional circuit, Ted Lasso returns to Richmond to manage a second-division women’s football team. This shift is supported by an expanded cast roster that introduces seven new members — including Tanya Reynolds, Rex Hayes, and Grant Feely — alongside the core returning ensemble of Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Juno Temple. Behind the scenes, the writing room maintains its award-winning foundation with Goldstein and Brendan Hunt serving as writers and executive producers, supplemented by story editor Dylan Marron.
The rollout schedule for season four is built on a specific weekly cadence. The season makes its global debut on Wednesday, August 5 with a single premiere episode, followed by consecutive Wednesday releases that conclude the season on October 7. Structurally, the production sees a significant internal shift with the addition of Emmy Award-winner Jack Burditt as executive producer, a move solidified by a new overall deal with Apple TV. Burditt joins a veteran executive team that includes Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence via Doozer Productions, and Joe Kelly.
Watch the teaser above. Ted Lasso Season 4 premieres August 5 on Apple TV.
