Ted Lasso Takes On His Biggest Challenge Yet

Season four finds Ted back in Richmond — but this time, he’s stepping into uncharted territory. According to the official synopsis, Ted will be coaching a second division women’s football team, marking a major shift for the character and the series.

As per the synopsis: “Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.”

The new storyline signals a bold evolution for the show, expanding its emotional and sporting landscape while retaining the optimism and heart that defined its earlier seasons.

Season four also welcomes Emmy winner Jack Burditt (“Nobody Wants This,” “Modern Family,” “30 Rock”) as an executive producer under a new overall deal with Apple TV+. Sudeikis executive produces alongside Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee and Bill Wrubel.

Brett Goldstein returns as both writer and executive producer, joined by Leanne Bowen. Sarah Walker and Phoebe Walsh serve as writers and producers, while Sasha Garron co-produces. Julia Lindon will write for the season, with Dylan Marron onboard as story editor.

Bill Lawrence continues to executive produce via Doozer Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television. The series, developed by Sudeikis, Lawrence, Kelly and Hunt, is based on the original NBC Sports format.

Following its debut, “Ted Lasso” shattered records, with its first season becoming the most Emmy-nominated comedy series at the time and winning Outstanding Comedy Series for its first two seasons.
