We've been waiting well over a year to find out if we'll be making our way back to Richmond with Ted Lasso. However, now it seems like we're one massive step closer to a fourth season of Ted Lasso or a spinoff as Warner Bros. Television has reportedly picked up the options for three of the show's OG cast members.
Yes, that's right, Warner Bros. Television reportedly has options on Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein and Jeremy Swift, who were contracted under Equity, the UK’s acting union, Deadline reported.
Along with this report, THR confirmed that Waddingham, Goldstein and Swift have been “approached to reprise” their parts as Rebecca Welton, Roy Kent and Leslie Higgins, respectively. Considering they all play massive roles in the Ted Lasso cast , this is a promising step forward.

After this, it's been reported that the studio will likely be reaching out to the ensemble that's under SAG-AFTRA contracts with expired options. Reportedly, this list would include Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt, and apparently Juno Temple, who play Ted Lasso, Coach Beard and Keeley Jones, respectively. Other regulars including Nick Mohammed (Nathan Shelley), Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt), Cristo Fernández (Dani Rojas) and Toheeb Jimoh (Sam Obisanya) were not mentioned.
On top of that, it’s been alleged that a writer's room is being assembled, and that if all goes well, production on a new season would start in early 2025. However, it’s important to point out that WBTV and Apple TV+ declined to comment. So, at the moment nothing is fully confirmed, things are just seemingly headed in the right direction.
The report notes that this news is not a green light, it’s simply a step in the right direction toward a fourth season. Ted Lasso Season 4 will also be dependent on budget approval and scheduling, as many of the actors in the cast have other projects they are working on.
Ultimately, the fate of this show hinges on Jason Sudeikis. Multiple people involved with the show, as well as the studio who makes it, have been clear that if Season 4 were to happen, it would be on his call. Recently, Bill Lawrence, who co-created the series and served as showrunner, spoke about Ted Lasso’s future with ScreenRant, saying:
But we never answer, even if we’ve heard stuff, every actor, every actress, every writer, every producer, we all know that this is such a big, major life decision for Jason that you will never hear from anybody until you hear from him.
So, while this casting update is a super promising step forward, let’s not get our hopes up until the mustachioed man himself says more story is ago.
For now, while we wait for more updates about the future of Ted Lasso , you can stream the show’s first three seasons with an Apple TV+ subscription .
