Ted Lasso Season 4: Is a Return for Jason Sudeikis Really Happening?!

Ted Lasso Season 4: An Encouraging Update on Sudeikis's Possible Return!

Huge news for Ted Lasso fans!  Warner Bros. TV Group Chairman and CEO, Channing Dungey, gave some seriously encouraging words about a potential Season 4, especially concerning Jason Sudeikis's possible return! This awesome Apple TV+ sports comedy-drama, created by Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Joe Kelly, and Brendan Hunt, earned a whopping 61 Primetime Emmy nominations and had three fantastic seasons (34 episodes total) before ending in May 2023. While season 3 felt like a wrap, whispers of a season 4 refused to die, leaving fans eagerly anticipating this exciting development.

The ending had plenty of questions left unanswered; and those open questions regarding how each character's own path will further progress are the things that are going to fuel many discussions. Many assumed it was all done, the stories seemingly completed. However, the recent interview Dungey had with Variety totally changed everything; making season 4 far more likely! Here are her exact words:

"We are in conversations about season four, and they are very exciting conversations, but it’s still early days. We had always been clear that we there wasn’t going to be more ‘Ted Lasso’ if Jason [Sudeikis] and team weren’t feeling excited about it, and I can tell you firsthand that he’s in a place where he’s feeling really excited and feels good about it."

It remains very important to highlight this amazing news becaUSe even those subtle references regarding the creators and cast's intentions truly shows why we should remain incredibly hopeful!

What This Means for Ted Lasso Season 4

Sudeikis's excitement for season 4 is MASSIVE news! It would be insane to continue without him, seeing as he's the co-creator, star, and a writer! That’s a crucial aspect, because that means maintaining this show's entire quality requires Sudeikis to also remain engaged; showing a true necessity and commitment needed to make that renewed season both valuable, necessary and something people truly expect.

Variety reported in August that Warner Bros. already secured options for key actors: Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, and Brett Goldstein. That alone creates another aspect, namely that those options already obtained strongly indicate a continuation and thus should only further emphasize that a renewed season 4 has a much higher possibility than people thought!

Predicting Ted Lasso Season 4: A Wild Guess at the Plot!

Ted Lasso season 3's finale ended with Richmond as runners-up in the league (behind Manchester City), while also having its owners changing and thus leaving the coach with several key options and potentially a large scale decision that could be extremely profound for this particular character!

There is speculation however that those things happening suggest a potentially amazing storyline! There’s a lot to develop. Ted’s still passionate about coaching (shown in him coaching Henry’s Little League team). Bringing him back to Richmond– maybe to help win the league title after losing to Manchester City – makes total sense.  Those new owners might bring him back; those plot possibilities, are the exciting new points to anticipate. Those unexpected moments created through some of these earlier elements that remain uncertain for the next installment should also be critically important points.
