Summary

  • Apple TV has begun rolling out “Ted Lasso” Season 4, using a promo built around the “Welcome Back, Kotter” theme to mark the show’s return after three years off air.
  • Season 4 brings Jason Sudeikis back as Ted, now called to the U.S. to coach AFC Richmond’s new women’s team, while Rebecca Welton and Roy Kent also return.
  • Roy has moved into Ted’s former job as head coach of AFC Richmond’s men’s team, extending a story many viewers thought had ended with Season 3’s seemingly definitive finale.
  • The new season runs 10 episodes—the same as Season 1 but shorter than Seasons 2 and 3—and new installments stream every Wednesday on Apple TV.
  • The Hollywood Reporter said Sudeikis sees Season 4 as the start of a new three-season arc, though Apple TV has not announced a Season 5.
