A still from Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso” series
Rumors surrounding the highly anticipated fourth season of the Apple TV+ comedy series “Ted Lasso” have gained momentum, suggesting that production will commence in early 2025. While the involvement of the show’s star Jason Sudeikis remains uncertain, this latest update offers hope for fans eagerly awaiting a continuation of the hit series.
Sources familiar with the matter have indicated that pre-production for the fourth season will begin in January, followed by filming in London starting in early 2025. This news aligns with previous rumors and suggests that the show is moving forward towards its next installment.

MacDailyNews Take: In August, Apple TV+’s megahit soccer comedy “Ted Lasso” inched closer to a fourth season as Warner Bros. Television, the studio behind the series, exercised options on the three main cast members who were previously represented by the UK’s Equity union. That development signaled a significant step forward for the show’s continuation.
In December 2020, series co-creator Bill Lawrence said that “Ted Lasso” would likely end after just season 3 because Sudeikis has a family with young children, and likely will not want to be spending half of each of these precious years in London, an ocean apart from his kids.
“Ted Lasso” is Apple TV+’s main tentpole. Apple will make a monetary offer that Sudeikis cannot refuse and the rest is simple: Ted Lasso, after successfully topping the EPL, finds himself in high demand and, lured by big money in America, moves back home along with Coach Beard, Coach Kent, (and possible others) to coach a Major League Soccer team in the U.S. in Season 4. — MacDailyNews, March 7, 2022
We have an exceedingly difficult time believing that “Ted Lasso” will only run three seasons. – MacDailyNews, July 20, 2022
With Apple TV+ now owning the MLS broadcast rights worldwide for the next 10 years, the tie-in potential is just too strong for us to imagine that “Ted Lasso” will wrap after Season 3. – MacDailyNews, July 20, 2022
