In a delightful surprise for fans, "Ted Lasso" is gearing up for a highly anticipated Season 4, as confirmed by Variety. Warner Bros. Television has secured the options on the original cast members, ensuring the return of Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift. While details about Jason Sudeikis' involvement remain undisclosed, sources suggest that he will be participating as an executive producer. When approached for comment, Warner Bros. TV declined.

Negotiations have taken place with Waddingham, Goldstein, and Swift, who are UK Equity members, as they have different agreements compared to the US SAG-AFTRA cast. Discussions with the US cast members are expected to happen soon.

Talks of a "Ted Lasso" revival have been circulating since the conclusion of its third season, which aired last year. In an interview with Variety back in January, Warner Bros. TV CEO Channing Dungey hinted at the possibility of the series continuing beyond its finale. "I mean, you watched the finale, there's a little bit of a door that could be kicked back open if need be," Dungey stated. "I wouldn't put the period on the end of that sentence just yet. There is still a lot of love for 'Ted Lasso.' And I think that there still is a lot of enthusiasm on the part of Apple for 'Ted Lasso.' Should the opportunity arise, we'd be excited to jump back in to making more.... There are always conversations that are ongoing, just nothing that's official."

"Ted Lasso" centers around Jason Sudeikis in the titular role, portraying a former college football coach from Kansas-turned-professional soccer coach in England, despite his lack of experience in the sport. Alongside Sudeikis, the show features an ensemble cast including Waddingham, Goldstein, Swift, Brendan Hunt, Juno Temple, and Phil Dunster.

The series was co-created by Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Hunt, and Joe Kelly and is based on existing characters and format from NBC Sports. "Ted Lasso" has garnered immense popularity and critical acclaim, defying expectations with its heartwarming and humorous storytelling.

While no official release date has been announced, fans eagerly await the return of their favorite optimistic coach and his endearing ensemble in Season 4 of "Ted Lasso." Rest assured, this continuing devotion to the series proves that there is no shortage of enthusiasm among both viewers and creators.
