Ted Lasso Season 4 Filming Begins: New Direction?

There's a real buzz in the air, isn't there? In a recent Apple TV production update, we got a peek at Jason Sudeikis, Juno Temple, Hannah Waddingham, and Jeremy Swift sharing a quiet moment in an American diner, captured during filming. The caption, "We’re not in Richmond anymore," really drives home that this season is about expanding beyond the familiar, yet the underlying sentiment suggests the show's core warmth will remain. It's a curious thought, seeing Ted Lasso in a new American setting, and it makes you wonder about the dynamics that will unfold.
We'll be happy to see familiar faces like Brendan Hunt as Coach Beard returning, and the addition of new cast members like Tanya Reynolds and Faye Marsay could bring some really interesting new energy. It's always fascinating how new characters can subtly shift the entire trajectory of a story, and in Ted Lasso's case, that exploration of change feels particularly natural. Even though an official release date hasn't been announced, the production updates suggest we might be looking at a mid to late 2026 arrival, possibly around the summer months, a timing that has served the show well in the past. With familiar players like Jamie Tartt and Sam Obisanya returning, alongside Ted's son Henry playing a more prominent role, it feels like the pieces are being set for another deeply satisfying season. Will this new direction allow Ted to find an even greater sense of purpose, or will it present challenges that even his unwavering optimism can't easily overcome?
