When Ted Lasso debuted on Apple TV+ in 2020, the Jason Sudeikis comedy show courted an entire fanbase built around their commitment to "believe." Now, six years later, the show is set to return with the release of Ted Lasso Season 4 this summer. If you're here, I'm sure you're fully prepared to park yourself in front of the tube to watch Ted Lasso Season 4, so let's get on with everything you need to know about what's to come for the Apple TV+ series.

Ted Lasso - the basics:

Release date: Summer 2026
Platform: Apple TV+
Number of episodes: Unknown
Cast: Jason Sudeikis, 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

What is Ted Lasso season 4 about?

According to a press release from Apple TV+, the plot of Ted Lasso season 4 is as follows: "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."

Why is Jamie Tartt not in season 4?

No, Jamie Tartt will not be in Ted Lasso season 4. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Deadline notes that Jamie Tartt actor Phil Dunster's absence from season 4 is due to scheduling conflicts from Dunster taking a "series regular role on a new HBO comedy." That HBO comedy is Rooster, which happens to also be from Ted Lasso executive producer Bill Lawrence, so chances are if you're missing Jamie this season, you'll be able to enjoy seeing Dunster in whatever that HBO comedy ends up being. And don't worry, Deadline writes that Dunster could "potentially reprise his role in some limited capacity" in the future.

Is Roy Kent in season 4?

Yes, Roy Kent will be in Ted Lasso season 4. Apple TV+ has announced that actor Brett Goldstein will be reprising his role as Roy in this upcoming season. We don't yet know what exactly Roy will be doing in season 4, but it's only a matter of time before the season hits our eyes and screens.

What does 1236 mean in Ted Lasso?

We don't know for sure what 1236 means in Ted Lasso. The number has come up twice in the show: once as the amount that Roy owes Phoebe for swearing, and again as Ted and Beard's paperball high score. Ted Lasso fans on Reddit have dove headfirst into numerology to try to find answers about the significance of 1236, and if numerology is your sort of thing, you can check it out here. I'll throw my hat in the ring and suggest that it could be a birth or anniversary date, like March 6, 2012 (if we're going with year, month, day). Or perhaps it's someone's favorite number.

Why did they recast Ted Lasso's son?

An official reason for recasting Ted Lasso's son has not been given. But it's worth noting that Henry is supposed to be 12 years old, and actor Gus Turner played Henry in seasons 1 through 3, a span of time from 2020 to 2023. Based on Turner's current headshot on IMDb, he looks older than he did in previous seasons of Ted Lasso. Turner has been replaced by Grant Feely, who told the Birmingham Parent that he "had to practice a lot of soccer" for the role.

Is there a Ted Lasso season 4 trailer?

No, there is not yet a Ted Lasso season 4 trailer. But Apple TV+ did post a short video 7 months ago announcing that season 4 of the show was in production, which you can watch below.

When is Ted Lasso Season 4 expected to debut?

Summer 2026 is the expected release window for Ted Lasso season 4, as Apple TV+ hasn't officially announced a set release date yet. That said, Deadline reports that Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham said "August, I think" about when fans can expect season 4.

Where can I watch season 4 of Ted Lasso?

You can watch Ted Lasso season 4 on Apple TV+.
