Ted Lasso season 4 is not just swapping AFC Richmond for a women’s team; it is also keeping fans on the edge with its player roster. While Jason Sudeikis and the core cast are confirmed, Deadline stirred excitement by revealing Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt) and Cristo Fernández (Danny Rojas) are in talks for guest appearances. The possibility of seeing Tartt’s swagger and Rojas’ “Football is life!” energy again is already sending fandom group chats into a frenzy.

Jamie Tartt was more than just a goal-scoring peacock; his evolution from selfish superstar to team-first talisman gave the show some of its richest arcs. Danny Rojas, with his boundless optimism, became the spiritual mascot of AFC Richmond. Both are so vital to the show that their absence in season 4 could feel like Richmond losing its heartbeat. If Deadline’s hints prove true, their guest spots might be the emotional penalty kick fans never knew they needed.
