Ted Lasso Season 4 Is Reportedly Being Prepared for a Greenlight at Warner Bros. Television

Ted Lasso Season 4 is reportedly being prepared for a greenlight as Warner Bros. Television has picked up the options for Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Walton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins).

As reported by Deadline, the studio began with these options from the UK acting union Equity and will then move on to Ted Lasso cast members within SAG-AFTRA, including co-creators/executive producers Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) and Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard) and Juno Temple (Keeley Jones).

Assuming the cast signs on to these new deals, this will make it possible for Warner Bros. Television to greenlight a Season 4 of Ted Lasso, contingent on "budget approval and scheduling as actors whose options have lapsed may have joined other series that have them in first position."

A writers room is also being prepared and the team is eyeing an early 2025 start to potentially begin production on this new season that many weren't sure was happening.

Prior to Ted Lasso's third season, Hunt didn't fully close the door on a new chapter, but he did say that this last season was the end of a story they wanted to tell.

"It’s not necessarily the end of the series. It’s just likely the end of this story because we always saw it as a three-part thing,” Hunt said. “We never even knew for sure we’d be able to tell all three parts—and suddenly, here we are. So, there will be some type of closure to this beat but closure is not necessarily the end.”

In June 2023, Apple TV appeared to tease a spin-off or continuation of Ted Lasso as it shared an image of Kent, Beard, and Nick Mohammed's Nate Shelley with the message, "Smells like potential."
