What’s the Big Twist in Season 4?
Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team. This isn’t just a soft reboot — it’s a bold reinvention that feels like a natural extension of the story Season 3 quietly planted.
The trailer shows that Lasso has returned to Richmond where he will be coaching a second division women’s soccer team, hoping to inspire them to become a winning team like he previously did with the men’s team — and the official season description says that throughout the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.

New Cast Members:
Joining the series are Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely. Grant Feely steps into the role of Ted’s son Henry, with the show reportedly including a time jump — requiring an older actor in the role. The Hollywood Reporter
One notable absence: Jamie Tartt actor Phil Dunster does not appear in the trailer, with reports suggesting the character will not return for Season 4.
Behind the Camera

The addition of Burditt is a significant creative boost, and signals Apple TV+ is treating this comeback season with the full weight it deserves.
Ted Lasso is one of the defining sports comedy series of the streaming era — winning 11 Emmy Awards across its first three seasons, including Best Comedy Series and individual performance awards for Sudeikis, Goldstein, and Waddingham. The Nightly
Will There Be a Season 5 and 6?
Rumors indicate we’re set to not only get Season 4, but also Seasons 5 and 6 — completing a brand new three-season arc. So if you’re worried this is a one-off comeback, it sounds like Richmond is open for business for the long haul.
