As “Ted Lasso” fans eagerly await the news of a potential fourth season, recent reports suggest that the beloved Apple TV+ series is on track for renewal, Warner Bros. Television has reportedly renewed options on stars Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift, hinting at their return for another season, per USAToday. This move comes amid growing anticipation and speculation about the show's future.

Renewal Prospects and Cast Updates

According to multiple sources including The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline, the renewal of “Ted Lasso” for a fourth season is highly likely. Warner Bros. Television's decision to extend options for Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Goldstein (Roy Kent), and Swift (Leslie Higgins) signals a strong intention to proceed with the new season. Production could potentially start in early 2025, with Jason Sudeikis expected to continue his role as executive producer, though his return as the titular character is not yet officially confirmed. The renewal largely hinges on Sudeikis’ availability, as noted by co-creator Bill Lawrence, who emphasized that the future of the series depends on his involvement.

However, not all is certain for the cast. Phil Dunster, who plays Jamie Tartt, might not return due to scheduling conflicts with his commitments to other projects like The Devil’s Hour and Surface. Though his absence from a full-time role is a possibility, there remains a chance for Dunster to make guest appearances in the upcoming season. The show's future without Dunster could affect its dynamic, especially given Tartt’s popularity among fans.
