Ted Lasso star sends ‘potentially get excited’ message to fans amid talk of Jason Sudeikis bringing AFC Richmond back for Season 4

A global television audience thought that they had seen the last of Lasso in May 2023 when he brought an eventful coaching stint in England to a close and returned to his native America. At that point, lead character and writer Jason Sudeikis appeared to have shelved the award-winning production indefinitely.

  THE GOSSIP

  Rumours have, however, been circulating for some time now about AFC Richmond returning to Apple TV+ streaming services around the world. It has been suggested, with popular characters jumping back on board, that pre-production on a fourth series could begin in early 2025.

  DID YOU KNOW?

  Sudeikis has made no comment in public, but executives at Warner Bros have hinted at plans being put in place. Several cast members have aired their excitement at picking up where they left off, with Ted Lasso forever holding a special place in their hearts.

  WHAT BRETT GOLDSTEIN SAID

  Goldstein, who plays foul-mouthed player-turned-coach Roy Kent, falls into that category. He continues to be quizzed on Season 4, and has told Parade about his current emotions: “Potentially I’m potentially excited about anything. Potentially.” He added when asked if he has a message for those clinging to the hope of seeing Lasso return to their lives: “Potentially get excited.”

  WHAT NEXT FOR TED LASSO?

  If a number of important hurdles have been cleared when it comes to bringing Ted Lasso back, then an official announcement should not be too far off. Plenty of familiar faces should jump aboard that bandwagon, while a few new ones may also be brought along for the ride.
