'Ted Lasso' Season 4 Likely as Key Cast Secured; Awaiting Jason Sudeikis' Decision
August 25, 2024Warner Bros. Television has secured options for key cast members, including Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, and Brett Goldstein, making a fourth season of 'Ted Lasso' increasingly likely.
Negotiations for Season 4 of the Apple TV+ series are currently underway, signaling that the show is officially moving forward.
A writer's room is reportedly being assembled, but the show's continuation heavily relies on Jason Sudeikis' involvement as both star and co-creator.
Sudeikis, who originally envisioned 'Ted Lasso' as a three-season story arc, has expressed a desire to ensure the right ideas are in place before committing to more seasons.
Despite the third season's conclusion, which aired last year, executive producer Bill Lawrence noted that the finale left the door open for potential future episodes.
Fans have had mixed reactions to the series' direction following Season 3, prompting ongoing discussions about its future.
If all goes as planned, production for Season 4 could start in early 2025, with new episodes potentially debuting by the end of that year.
The greenlight for the new season is contingent upon budget approval and scheduling, particularly for actors who may have taken on other projects.
Warner Bros. is expected to reach out to U.S. performers, including Sudeikis and Juno Temple, regarding their involvement in the potential new season.
Brendan Hunt shared that Apple CEO Tim Cook expressed hope for a fourth season during a visit to the set, reflecting the enthusiasm surrounding the series.
Lawrence has emphasized that the show's future largely depends on Sudeikis' decision, acknowledging the personal sacrifices he must make for filming.
While Warner Bros. and Apple TV+ have not provided official comments on the fourth season, speculation continues to grow about the show's continuation.
