Ted Lasso is to Apple TV what Stranger Things is to Netflix. The show that put the streaming service on the map and that one that’ll always bring the punters back for more.
While Stranger Things final series is in the books, Apple is preparing to turn Ted Lasso’s world upside down with fourth season of the loveable coach’s stint in Richmond. Apple has sent production and a synopsis for season four to the A.V. Club confirming some of the hinted-at details for the long-awaited follow up which we now know will launch this summer. Release date to be confirmed.
“In season four, Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team,” the synopsis reads. “Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.”
At the end of season three – presumed at the time to be the last – plans were hatched for a women’s team, but the titular coach had returned to the United States to be closer to his young son.
Now it is clear, the top brass at AFC Richmond have coaxed Lasso back to steward the fledgling expansion club, and it appears Ted’s son will be along for the ride. He’ll be played by a new actor this time around, Grant Feely.
There’s also a new assistant coach played by Tanya Reynolds, while the playing staff will be played by actors like Jude Mack, Faye Marsey, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern.
Old favourites like Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Juno Temple (Keeley Jones), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins). There’s no mention of Nick Mohammed who played Nathan Shelley.
