Ted Lasso ‘s return isn’t some far-fetched idea as the Apple TV+ comedy starring Jason Sudeikis is closer to a fourth season than ever before. As details about a forthcoming chapter in the Emmy-winning series come together, we’re rounding up everything we know so far about the potential return, below. Scroll down for all the need-to-know details.

According to a new report from Deadline , Ted Lasso ‘s return for Season 4 is becoming more likely with each passing day. A greenlight for Season 4 is seemingly imminent as Warner Bros. Television has supposedly picked up the options on three original cast members, in other words, the securing of returning stars would get the ball rolling in a positive direction.

The show’s return is also contingent on Sudeikis’ approval as a co-creator of the comedy with Bill Lawrence and costar Brendan Hunt . The three original stars poised to return would include Hannah Waddingham , Brett Goldstein , and Jeremy Swift . As fans will recall, Waddingham played AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, Goldstein was player-turned-coach Roy Kent, and Swift was the team’s director of operations Leslie Higgins.

Together, they had been contracted under the UK acting union Equity. Warner Bros. Television is expected to reach out to cast members who were under since-expired SAG-AFTRA contracts for potential role reprisals.

Among likely candidates for returns are Sudeikis as titular Coach Ted Lasso, Hunt as Coach Beard, and Juno Temple as Keeley Jones.
