'Ted Lasso' coming back for new season with Jason Sudeikis

The Emmy-winning comedy series "Ted Lasso" is returning to the pitch for a fourth season, streaming service Apple TV+ has announced.

Co-creator Jason Sudeikis will reprise his role as Lasso, the American coach of upstart British football team AFC Richmond in the feel-good, fish-out of water story.

"We all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to 'look before we leap,'" Sudeikis said in a statement. "In season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to leap before they look, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be."

Ted Lasso won 13 Emmys including two for best comedy series during its three seasons from 2020 to 2023. Its future had been in doubt as the creators had said they originally planned for only three installments.
