The locker room has been quiet and the pitch untouched since Ted Lasso Season 3. But something is stirring in the air again — a familiar whistle carried by the wind and echoes of team chants rising in the distance. It is not just Richmond fans feeling the buzz, but rather, viewers everywhere are wondering if the magic is truly making a comeback, and how soon, if so. As the world holds its breath, anticipation builds around what is quietly unfolding behind the scenes of this beloved football fairytale.

Apple TV+ lit the spark, and a major cast member fanned the flames with behind-the-scenes insight on Ted Lasso Season 4.

Apple made Ted Lasso Season 4 official in March, with Hannah Waddingham teasing that the installment will go on the floors this month. Speaking to the UK’s Capital Breakfast show in May while promoting her then-upcoming film Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, the actress stated, “We start shooting in July.”

For those unversed, Hannah Waddingham portrays team owner Rebecca Welton in the series. Who else from the previous seasons returns for Season 4?

Several familiar faces are reportedly suiting up again, with hints suggesting the Greyhounds are not quite done serving chaos together.

According to 9To5Mac, the majority of the Ted Lasso cast members are expected to return for the new season, which is great news for fans. Per the outlet, several actors have already inked their contracts, while negotiations are underway for others. An interesting update on the creative team of the show is that Nobody Wants This and Modern Family’s Jack Burditt has signed on as an executive producer, according to Apple, further elevating the stakes for this season, which reportedly will feature AFC Richmond's first women’s team.

Whispers of a fresh chapter are swirling, and if early clues are right, Ted Lasso Season 4, which has an interesting connection to a dead cat, could take the story in a game-changing direction.

As reported by Sigmund Judge, a major narrative of the new season will be the formation of AFC Richmond's women's team. Jason Sudeikis, one of the show's writers, confirmed on a recent podcast that Ted will be “coaching a women’s team.” That, however, does not mean the men's team will disappear from the storylines.

Richmond will seek to expand its horizons by adding a women’s team for the first time. All these updates have fans wondering — will Ted Lasso Season 4 grace their screens?

Though Apple TV+ has not yet revealed an official release date for the fourth season, projections by industry experts suggest a late 2025 or early 2026 launch window for all regions, including the US. All three seasons of the show, meanwhile, remain available to stream. As the buzz builds and clues keep dropping, one thing is clear, Ted Lasso is not hanging up his whistle anytime soon.
