Ted Lasso season 4 teaser drops with surprise comeback

A first teaser for Ted Lasso season four has dropped and it is already hinting at a major shake-up for AFC Richmond.

The Apple TV+ hit, fronted by Jason Sudeikis, is officially set to return, with the new footage confirming that Ted Lasso is not done with Richmond just yet.

He’s back but not how fans expected

After leaving England at the end of season three to return to the United States and focus on his son, Lasso is now back at the club that made him a fan favourite.

But his return comes with a twist.

Instead of reclaiming his old job, Lasso is stepping into a completely new role, taking charge of Richmond’s newly formed women’s team, a storyline first teased in the previous finale.

The move, originally floated by club owner Rebecca Welton, played by Hannah Waddingham, alongside Keeley Jones, portrayed by Juno Temple, now looks set to take centre stage.

Richmond moves on without him

Season three wrapped with Richmond beating West Ham United but falling just short of the Premier League title in a tense finish.

With Lasso gone, Roy Kent, played by Brett Goldstein, stepped up as manager, marking a new era for the club.

That shift is expected to continue in season four, with the men’s team moving forward under Roy while Lasso carves out his own path on the women’s side.

Ted Lasso season 4 release date

The show’s future had been uncertain after its third season, which many believed could serve as a natural ending.

The teaser, however, makes one thing clear: the story is far from over.

With a new team, a new dynamic and a familiar face back in Richmond, season four looks set to push Ted Lasso into uncharted territory.

Season four premieres August 5 on Apple TV+.
