Ted Lasso season 4 is said to be greenlit, as Warner Bros. Television has picked up the options for Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Walton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins).

According to Deadline, the studio began with these options from British acting union Equity and will then move on to Ted Lasso cast members within SAG-AFTRA, including co-creators/executive producers Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) and Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard) and Juno Temple (Keeley Jones).

Assuming the cast signs these new deals, it will allow Warner Bros. Television to greenlight a Season 4 of Ted Lasso, subject to “budget and scheduling approvals, as actors whose options have expired may have joined other series that have them in the top spot.”

A writers room is also being set up and the team is aiming for an early 2025 start to potentially begin production on this new season, which many were unsure would go ahead.

Before the third season of Ted Lasso, Hunt hadn’t completely closed the door on a new chapter, but he did say that this final season was the end of a story they wanted to tell.

“It’s not necessarily the end of the series. It’s probably just the end of this story, because we always saw it as a trilogy,” Hunt said. “We were never sure if we could tell all three parts, and suddenly here we are. So there will be some kind of closure to this rhythm, but closure is not necessarily the end.”

In June 2023, Apple TV seemingly hinted at a Ted Lasso spinoff or continuation, sharing an image of Kent, Beard, and Nick Mohammed’s Nate Shelley with the message: “Smells like potential.”
