‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4 in the Works

2024-08-25 09:05:02

It looks like fans may get a Ted Lasso season four after all.

Warner Bros. Television has picked up the options on three castmembers from the show’s original three-season run, who had contracts under U.K.’s acting union Equity. Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein and Jeremy Swift have been approached to reprise their respective roles of Rebecca Walton, Roy Kent and Leslie Higgins, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed.

This puts the Emmy-winning soccer comedy on track for season four. Once those options are secured, the studio would have to create new deals for the show’s other main actors, who are represented by SAG-AFTRA. This includes co-creators/executive producers and stars Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt, as well as Juno Temple.

Reps for WBTV declined to comment. THR has reached out to Apple TV+ as well.

Plans for season four were seemingly in the air after it wrapped its pre-planned, three-season run in May 2023. Many of the show’s actors revealed following the season three finale, which felt very much like a series finale, that they weren’t sure there would be another installment of the comedy series. However, the stars also expressed their desire to continue telling their stories in some capacity.

Ted Lasso‘s main characters had a happy ending. (Spoilers!) Sudeikis’ Ted returned to Kansas to be with his son and ex-wife; Hunt’s Beard seemingly got married in Stonehenge; Rebecca (Waddingham) and Keeley (Temple) make plans to start a women’s team in Richmond; and Roy takes over as manager of the AFC Richmond and decides to begin therapy.

Earlier this month, series co-creator Bill Lawrence admitted that a fourth season of the series depended on Sudeikis, who would have to uproot his life when he has two young children with ex Olivia Wilde.

“Even without talking to each other, and every actor, actress, writer, producer on that show — and [we didn’t get] together and decide this was the message — we all loved the experience,” Lawrence said. “As fans, we’d all kill if it was going again, but everybody would say the same thing, which is: Whatever Jason feels like doing, and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it.”

He added, “Not only is he the star, he’s the head writer, and he’s also the dude whose life just has to be completely overhauled and moved to a foreign country with young children. It’s a big deal. So, as a fan, if someone’s like, ‘Oh, it’s gonna happen again,’ I’ll go nuts. As a partner, I’m down for whatever he wants to do.”
