At a time when Apple's subscription service Apple TV+ was struggling to gain enough subscribers, along came an unlikely hero with an iconic mustache, a can-do attitude, and the wrong professional credentials to change AppleTV+'s fate for the greater good. That man was Ted Lasso, portraying a character crafted by Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly, which quickly became a fan favorite, warming hearts across the globe.
Following much speculation, it has now been officially confirmed by Apple TV+ on March 14, 2025, just four days ago, after what was seemingly the conclusive Season 3, the show will return once more for its long-awaited fourth season. Fans of all ages from the terraces to social media are clamoring for news, marking the return of their beloved AFC Richmond coach.
Following the announcement, millions have flooded to the Apple TV+ homepage, excitedly revisiting their favorite series, leading to 'Ted Lasso' rising to prominence once again as the third most-watched show on March 17, 2025. This is just behind the brand-new series 'Dope Thief' and the acclaimed second season of 'Severance'. The rankings reflect how deeply ingrained 'Ted Lasso' has become within the streaming platform's fabric, as fans eagerly await the four season.
Elsewhere on Apple TV+'s streaming segment, other beloved shows are cementing their place within the top ten. A vibrant roster including 'Shrinking', featuring the talented Brett Goldstein, sits at #5, with 'Surface' right behind it at #4. Shows like 'Prime Target', starring Leo Woodall, the highly-acclaimed 'Silo', and the fun-filled 'Mythic Quest' fill spots six to eight, respectively. Meanwhile, 'Slow Horses', headlined by Gary Oldman, has been holding strong at #9 for over 400 days, and rounding off the top ten is 'The Morning Show'.
What will Season 4 of 'Ted Lasso' hold for fans? Details remain limited, but some exciting tidbits have emerged. Jason Sudeikis optimistically stated, "as we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap', the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be.” Fans now know this season will pivot around Lasso coaching a women's team, though whether it's the AFC Richmond Women's Team or another entirely remains to be unveiled.
With excitement brewing, this next season could potentially bring back some familiar faces alongside Sudeikis. While he is currently the only confirmed cast member returning, whispers suggest we may see Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton and Goldstein reprising his role as Roy Kent. The creative team's strong lineup includes Brett Goldstein serving as writer and executive producer, matched by Leanne Bowen also contributing writing and executive production prowess.
Since its debut on Apple TV+ back in 2020, 'Ted Lasso' has been nothing short of remarkable. The record-breaking series initially became the most Emmy-nominated comedy series during its very first season and secured back-to-back wins for Outstanding Comedy Series through its initial two seasons. The show's focus on kindness, compassion, and unwavering belief has garnered passionate fan support across the globe, as highlighted by Matt Cherniss, the head of programming for Apple TV+, who stated, "Ted Lasso has been nothing short of a juggernaut, inspiring passionate fanbase all over the world, delivering endless joy and laughter."
