Ted Lasso will return with a fourth season on Apple TV+, and the show needs to meet priorities for its story and characters to win over audiences.

Believe it — Season 4 of Ted Lasso has officially begun production, Apple TV+ announced this week. That’s right, Coach Lasso, the show’s beloved mustachioed and mild-mannered namesake, who helped guide audiences through a global pandemic with optimism and humanity, is back on the football pitch.

Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely are joining the Ted Lasso team for season 4. The newcomers’ roles are unclear at the moment, except for Feely, who will play Ted’s son, Henry Lasso.
