Believe! Warner Bros. Television’s Emmy Award–winning global hit “Ted Lasso” renewed for season four at Apple TV+ with Jason Sudeikis set to return as star and executive producer
Apple TV+ today announced that the Warner Bros. Television global phenomenon “Ted Lasso” is officially returning back to the football pitch for a fourth season that will reunite the team behind the history-making and multi-Emmy–winning comedy series, with Jason Sudeikis reprising his award-winning role as the celebrated Coach Ted Lasso.
“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,’” said star and executive producer Jason Sudeikis. “In season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be.”
“‘Ted Lasso’ has been nothing short of a juggernaut, inspiring a passionate fanbase all over the world and delivering endless joy and laughter, all while spreading kindness, compassion and unwavering belief,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “Everyone at Apple is thrilled to be continuing our collaboration with Jason and the brilliant creative minds behind this show.”
Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group and WBD US Networks, said: “If ever there was a show the world needed more of right now, it would be ‘Ted Lasso.’ We — along with countless fans around the globe — have been rooting for another season, and it is an incredible feeling to be able to say, ‘Yes, it’s happening!’ We thank our partners at Apple and can’t wait for Jason and the entire ‘Ted Lasso’ dream team to step back onto the pitch and deliver another season of this phenomenal series.”
“Ted Lasso” season four adds Emmy Award winner Jack Burditt (“Nobody Wants This,” “Modern Family,” “30 Rock”) as executive producer under a new overall deal with Apple TV+. Sudeikis stars and executive produces alongside Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee and Bill Wrubel. Brett Goldstein serves as writer and executive producer alongside Leanne Bowen. Sara Walker and Phoebe Walsh will serve as writers and producers for season four, and Sasha Garron co-produces. Julia Lindon will write for season four, and Dylan Marron will serve as story editor. Bill Lawrence executive produces via his Doozer Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television, a division of NBCUniversal Content. Doozer’s Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer also serve as executive producers. The series was developed by Sudeikis, Lawrence, Joe Kelly and Brendan Hunt, and is based on the preexisting format and characters from NBC Sports.
After its global debut on Apple TV+, “Ted Lasso” broke records and quickly earned praise and acclaim with season one becoming the most Emmy-nominated comedy series in its first season, and landing rare back-to-back Outstanding Comedy Series Emmys for its first two seasons on air.
