Ted Lasso Season 4 Is Here

Ted Lasso Season 4 Is Here: Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple and the Cast Return to Richmond

Believe it. After more than three years away, Ted Lasso is back on Apple TV. Season 4 premieres today, Wednesday, August 5, 2026, with the first episode available globally, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through the October 7 finale.

The Emmy-winning series shifts focus in a meaningful way. Jason Sudeikis returns as Ted Lasso, this time coaching AFC Richmond’s second-division women’s football team. The official logline captures the spirit: Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.

Familiar Faces Lead the Charge

Hannah Waddingham is back as Rebecca Welton, the club owner whose sharp wit and quiet strength have always grounded the show. Juno Temple returns as Keeley Jones, the vibrant publicist whose energy remains central to the Richmond family. Both actresses have spoken about how meaningful it felt to rejoin the series after the long break, with the new season’s women’s-team storyline emerging in part from Keeley’s perspective.

Brett Goldstein reprises Roy Kent, Brendan Hunt is back as Coach Beard, and Jeremy Swift returns as Leslie Higgins. New series regulars include Tanya Reynolds as assistant coach Alice Chilton, along with Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern and Grant Feely (taking over the role of Ted’s son Henry).

When Does Season 4 Drop?

The 10-episode season follows Apple TV’s weekly release pattern. Episode 1 arrives August 5. Subsequent episodes land every Wednesday, wrapping with the finale on October 7. The premiere is available at the usual Apple TV global window (midnight Pacific / 3 a.m. Eastern in the U.S.).

The first official teaser and full trailer have already given fans a taste of the returning warmth, humor and heart. Watch the official Season 4 trailer here: Ted Lasso Season 4 Official Trailer (Together) | Apple TV.

Why This Return Matters

Season 3 ended with Ted heading home to Kansas. The decision to bring him back for a women’s team story feels both fresh and true to the show’s core values of kindness, growth and community. Waddingham and Temple’s presence anchors the familiar emotional center while the new players expand the world of Richmond.
