Ted Lasso is back, and honestly, he wasn’t gone very long. It seemed like the coach’s storyarc was all wrapped up at the end of season 3, when Ted left AFC Richmond to head back home to the United States to spend time with the family. But it wasn’t long that we learned a fourth season was in the works, and now we have the first trailer for it.
Jason Sudeikis returns as Ted Lasso, who flies back to the U.K. to coach the AFC Richmond women’s soccer team. The teaser is basically a way for AppleTV to announce the show’s premiere date of Wednesday, August 5th, and to show that all of the characters fans love will be coming back, too.
The returning cast includes Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Jeremy Swift, Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely. Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Tracey Ullman, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely are new to the show.
SYNOPSIS: In season four, Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.
It’s no surprise that Apple convinced the gang to return for a fourth season, which appears to be the launch of another three-season arc. The show remains among the most popular the streamer has ever produced. This is the rare case when fan demand was real and palpable.
