As drawn out and — at times — shaky Ted Lasso season 3 was, the feel-good Apple TV+ sports comedy (mostly) stuck the landing with what was presumably the final episode: ‘So Long, Farewell.’ But are we on track to receive Ted Lasso season 4?
Months after the report that it had taken a major step towards being greenlit, Nick Mohammed — who portrays AFC Richmond kit man turned assistant coach turned villain Nate Shelley — has coyly teased some extremely positive news. And it involves cameras rolling.
In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Mohammed explained the rescheduled dates of his Show Pony comedy tour was due to “filming I have not been able to shift for love of money.”
“I cannot say what that filming is. But it will be announced shortly. In the meantime, I would really appreciate if people just didn’t speculate as to what they think it might be,” he continued while holding up the hand-painted “BELIEVE” sign featured in the show.
“The last thing I want is for people to be going mad.”
Here’s everything else we know about Ted Lasso season 4 so far.

Has Ted Lasso season 4 been confirmed?
While nothing has been officially announced at this stage — by Warner Bros or Apple TV+ — there certainly hasn’t been any shortage of activity on the development front.
In the immediate wake of the season 3 finale, series creator and leading man Jason Sudeikis quite adamantly told Deadline: “This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell.”
“The fact that folks will want more and are curious beyond more than what they don’t even know yet — that being season three — it’s flattering. Maybe once all episodes of the season [have been released], they’re like, ‘Man, you know what, we get it, we’re fine. We don’t need anymore, we got it.’”
“But until that time comes, I will appreciate the curiosity beyond what we’ve come up with so far.”
Co-creators Bill Lawrence previously and Brendan Hunt (AKA Coach Beard), as well as series writer Brett Goldstein (AKA Roy Kent) also echoed similar sentiments during their own interview with the likes of The Hollywood Reporter.
But since then, the game has been changed.
It started with the series’ studio Warner Bros Television picking up the options for core cast members Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, as well as the aforementioned Goldstein. Shortly after, reports indicated Sudeikis, Hunt, and co-star Juno Temple were in negotiations to reprise their roles.
What appeared to be the tipping point, however, was when co-creator Bill Lawrence supposedly “stopped short” of confirming a fourth season last October (via Deadline):
“Jason Sudeikis is the voice, heart, driving factor behind the show; not only professionally, but on a personal level. That’s the dude whose life gets upended and who would be making the biggest sacrifices,. The only sure bet in Hollywood is that nobody involved with Ted Lasso will ever, ever speak about it until Jason makes his decision of who he wants to talk to and what he wants to tell.”
Ted Lasso was originally pitched as a three-season affair. Though the terms may soon be altered to make way for Ted Lasso season 4.
What could the fourth season of Ted Lasso be about?
[Ted Lasso season 3 finale spoiler warning]
To recap: after deciding his time at both AFC Richmond and London has come to an end in the penultimate episode, college football coach turned Premier League sensation Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) returns to Wichita, Kansas, where he intends to be there full-time for his son Henry (Gus Turner) and ostensibly repair his broken marriage with ex-wife Michelle (Andrea Anders).
Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) tearfully parts ways with his longtime compadre to continue the good work they’ve been accomplishing with the Greyhounds, which placed second in the standings after Manchester City; serving as assistant coach to the newly-promoted head honcho Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein).
It’s unclear whether Nate Shelley (Nick Mohammed) remains a kit man or slips into his former role as Richmond’s assistant coach after his tenure as the West Ham United head coach / the enemy. But either way, he’s back in everybody’s good books.
Team owner Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham), on the other hand, has officially bested her cretin of an ex-husband Rupert Mannion (Anthony Head) — in the business of football and otherwise.
While she initially entertained the notion of selling AFC Richmond for a staggering $2 billion, instead, the boss lady opts to sell 49% of the club to the fans. And just as a bonus, Rebecca is reunited with her mysterious Dutch lover who turns out to be an airline pilot.
As for everyone else, it’s happy endings all round. Keeley Jones’ (Juno Temple) PR company appears to be flourishing, and she proposes the establishment of the AFC Richmond women’s team; Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster) reconciles with his estranged father in rehab; Sam Obisanya (Toheeb Jimoh) eventually gets tapped to represent the Nigerian national team.
Trent Crimm (James Lance) has a best-selling hit on his hands with The Richmond Way (formerly The Lasso Way); Colin Hughes (Billy Harris) finally gets to kiss his fella on the pitch; and having returned as Richmond’s Head of Mental Health, Dr Sharon M. Fieldstone (Sarah Niles) begins treating — get this — Roy Kent.
All in all, while everything has been tied up in a neat little bow, there’s certainly room for further exploration. Which would also imply that Sudeikis’ tirelessly optimistic Ted Lasso makes a return (the show’s name and his name are one in the same, after all).
Potential storylines for Ted Lasso season 4 include the following:
- Whatever draws Ted back into the world of Premier League football
- The AFC Richmond women’s team
- The rise and rise of Sam Obisanya
- The rise and rise of Jamie Tartt (veering towards team leadership)
- And as always, the next Premier League campaign (either under the leadership of Roy Kent, Ted himself, or even Nate)
Ted Lasso spin-offs?
While there’s been no official word on any Ted Lasso related spin-off properties, as we outlined in the season 3 finale recap above, there’s room to explore.
Do we know the Ted Lasso season 4 cast?
Despite all the chatter about Warner Bros Television picking up the options for Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, and Brett Goldstein; the negotiations surrounding Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt, and Juno Temple; as well as the latest bombshell from Nick Mohammed… we simply cannot confirm any cast members for Ted Lasso season 4.
Here’s every other notable player who was still on the field by the end of season 3:
- Sarah Niles as Dr Sharon M. Fieldstone
- Anthony Head as Rupert Mannion
- Toheeb Jimoh as Samuel “Sam” Obisanya
- Cristo Fernández as Dani Rojas
- Kola Bokinni as Isaac McAdoo
- Billy Harris as Colin Hughes
- James Lance as Trent Crimm
- Matteo van der Grijn as Rebecca’s Dutch houseboat dweller/airline pilot love interest
When is the Ted Lasso season 4 release date (Australia or otherwise)?
Assuming Nick Mohammed isn’t pulling our leg — and assuming the usual 12-18 month production cycle required for past seasons — we can expect Ted Lasso season 4 sometime in early-to-mid 2026.
But as we’ve made perfectly clear, those are just among some of the big “ifs.”
Is there a Ted Lasso season 4 trailer?
Definitely not. Stay tuned for updates.
