If you’re an AFC Richmond supporter, you’ve likely heard the buzz: rumours are circulating that Ted Lasso may be gearing up for a fourth season. The popular Apple TV+ series, which ended its emotional three-season run in May last year, starred Jason Sudeikis as the lovable football manager Ted Lasso and Hannah Waddingham as Richmond owner Rebecca Walton.
According to Deadline, a significant development towards the next chapter has occurred, as Warner Bros. Television has reportedly picked up options on three key original cast members: Waddingham, Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins). The studio is expected to reach out to other main cast members, including co-creators and executive producers Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), as well as Juno Temple (Keeley Jones). Notably, Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt) has not been picked up due to a conflict with another series.
Fans React: Excitement, Nerves, and Doubts
The news has sparked a wave of excitement among Ted Lasso fans on social media. One user posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Is this real??? Am I dreaming???” Another wrote, “NO WAY OMG PEAK TV IS BACK.” Many fans are eagerly awaiting the potential return, with one calling it “the best news this year.
However, not all reactions are entirely positive. Some fans expressed concerns about the show’s continuation. “On one half, I’m ecstatic, on the other half, I’m VERY nervous,” one user shared. Others worry that a new season might struggle to live up to the show’s previous success. “I really don’t think Ted Lasso needs a Season 4,” one commenter said, while another added, “Honestly, I’m not sure we need more of the same. Let’s hope they bring something fresh, or it’s just going to drag on.”
Fans have also begun suggesting their own ideas for the rumoured season, with one stating, “Ted Lasso Season 4 should just be 10 episodes of Jamie Tartt being happy and loved.
As speculation continues to grow, fans will be watching closely for official announcements about the future of Ted Lasso.
