There is still no official Ted Lasso season 4 release date. Multiple updates point instead to a 2026 premiere window, with production already underway. Jason Sudeikis returns as Ted, with the narrative pivoting to a women’s team at AFC Richmond.
Release window and production status
The current status is straightforward: Apple TV+ has not announced a premiere date. Production began on July 21, 2025, and coverage continues to indicate an estimated mid‑to‑late 2026 launch window.
TV executives at Apple TV+ framed the continuation in aspirational terms. Apple’s head of programming, Matt Cherniss, praised the series as “Ted Lasso has been nothing short of a juggernaut,” and affirmed Apple’s excitement to continue with Jason Sudeikis and the creative team.
Bottom line: no date yet; filming is active; the best current expectation places the premiere sometime in 2026.
Story: Ted coaches a women’s team (official logline)
Jason Sudeikis confirmed the pivot on the “New Heights” podcast with Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, and Apple’s official logline sets the tone: “Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team.” The story emphasizes taking chances and learning to “leap before they look.”
The first‑look image released with the production start situates returning characters in Kansas City, Kansas, while additional filming moves to London.
Cast & creators: who’s back, who’s new
Returning series regulars listed so far: Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso), Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Juno Temple (Keeley Jones), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), Brendan Hunt (Willis “Coach” Beard), and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins).
New and recast roles include Grant Feely taking over as Henry Lasso, succeeding Gus Turner. Also listed: Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, and Abbie Hern. Behind the scenes, Jack Burditt joins as an executive producer, alongside Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, Brett Goldstein, and Bill Lawrence.
Not currently listed among returning series regulars: Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt), Nick Mohammed (Nathan “Nate” Shelley), Sarah Niles (Dr. Sharon Fieldstone), Anthony Head (Rupert Mannion), Toheeb Jimoh (Samuel “Sam” Obisanya), Cristo Fernández (Dani Rojas), Kola Bokinni (Isaac McAdoo), Billy Harris (Colin Hughes), and James Lance (Trent Crimm).
Nick Mohammed on a possible return
Nick Mohammed recently jumped to Apple TV+’s spy drama Slow Horses (Season 5) as London Mayor Zafar Jaffrey. He described the shift as “a bit of a challenge,” adding that “there were moments when I could sort of lean into the comedy” even though it is “definitely the straightest role that I think I’ve done to date.”
Asked directly about showing up in Ted Lasso Season 4, which is in production, Mohammed kept it intentionally vague: “I’m afraid you’ll have to just wait and see.” (Cinemablend)

Where to watch and who’s making it
Apple TV+ distributes the series. Production credits across the coverage reference Warner Bros. Television and Bill Lawrence Productions. Apple TV+ is the place where the official date will eventually be announced.
So, what’s the Ted Lasso season 4 release date?
As of October 19, 2025, the release date is not confirmed. The most specific timeframe in coverage points to mid‑to‑late 2026, dependent on production. If Apple TV+ sets a firm date, it will come via official channels. Until then, the working expectation remains 2026.
What a 2026 window means for the story and the cast
If filming continues on the current schedule, a 2026 launch gives room for the women’s team arc to settle in and for casting variables—like potential guest turns by former regulars—to remain flexible. The shift to a second‑division women’s side also opens fresh story beats for Roy Kent, Rebecca Welton, Keeley Jones, and Leslie Higgins, both in Kansas City, Kansas, and back in London. This timing may also clarify whether Nick Mohammed can juggle commitments with Slow Horses.
