Ted Lasso is officially back on the pitch. I can confirm Apple TV+ has set a summer release window for Season 4 and dropped first-look photos. The feel-good comedy that won hearts and Emmys is not done cheering yet. AFC Richmond’s next chapter is real, and it is coming sooner than anyone expected.
What Apple Just Confirmed
Season 4 is locked in for this summer. That puts Ted Lasso squarely in the warm-weather spotlight. Apple also released first-look photos that bring the Greyhounds energy right back. The images signal momentum, togetherness, and that signature Believe spirit.
Jason Sudeikis returns as Ted, the upbeat American coach who turned a punchline into a Premier League story. The series remains a flagship for Apple TV+, and this move shows confidence. The charm, the heart, the football, it all continues.
Apple has not announced an exact premiere date. The trailer is not out yet.
What The First Look Hints At
The photos tease a locker room that still feels like home. There is focus. There is warmth. There is a team that has been through it and learned from it. Ted’s presence reads steady, even when the stakes rise. That is the show’s magic trick. It finds hope in pressure.
Season 3 closed doors and opened new ones. Season 4 looks set to live in that space. Expect Richmond to carry real weight in the league. Expect the coaching bench to matter as much as the front line. And expect relationships to be tested, then mended, then tested again. That is Richmond.
A summer window points to a June through September arrival. Plan your watch parties.
Apple’s Bigger Play
There is strategy in this move. Ted Lasso is Apple TV+ at its best. Bright. Global. Easy to love. The show is a multi-Emmy winner with a fan base that cuts across age and country. A summer slot keeps Apple strong when viewers crave comfort and community.
This year also brings a global soccer surge. It is a World Cup year. Interest in the sport will spike across stadiums and living rooms. Planting Richmond’s return in that window is a savvy read of culture. Comedy meets football pride, and Apple stands right at midfield.
What We Know, What We Do Not
Here is the scoreboard as of today.
- Confirmed: Season 4 is set for summer on Apple TV+
- Confirmed: First-look photos are out
- Unknown: Exact premiere date
- Unknown: Trailer timing and episode count
- Unknown: Whether Season 4 is the final chapter
The creative team has always cared more about story than noise. That is why this show lands. Season 4 should keep that standard. Expect care. Expect laughs. Expect an emotional hit when you least expect it.

The Celebrity Angle, The Fan Heart
Jason Sudeikis returns to the role that reshaped his career. His Ted is mentor, misfit, and magician, often in the same scene. Hannah Waddingham’s power, Brett Goldstein’s bite, Juno Temple’s spark, Nick Mohammed’s precision, Brendan Hunt’s dry wit. This cast is a unit. Their chemistry built a modern classic.
Off camera, these stars are pop culture fixtures now. Stadium singalongs, awards speeches, surprise cameos, and suit-and-sneaker style moments, they live rent free in the culture. Season 4 extends that run. Expect red carpet warmth and locker room laughs. Expect quotes you will repeat at work on Monday.
Fans have been waiting, and the relief is loud. The Believe sign is ready to go back on bedroom walls and office doors. Pubs will fill on episode nights. Jerseys will come out of closets. Ted Lasso turned decency into a flex. It taught us that kindness can be cool. That lesson still hits, maybe more than ever.
Rewatch the Season 3 finale now. It sets the emotional road map for what is coming.
Why This Matters
Ted Lasso is not just a show. It is a reset button. It gave us a way to talk about anxiety and joy, coaching and friendship, failure and repair. It grew soccer fandom in places that barely knew an offside call. It turned a Premier League underdog into a global symbol for doing the right thing.
Season 4 landing in summer is smart timing. The world will already be singing, and Richmond will just add harmony. The message is simple. Believe, then pass the ball.
Conclusion
Bookmark this story. I will drop the exact premiere date the second it locks. Trailer details will follow. For now, the whistle is in Ted’s hand again. Richmond is lacing up. Summer belongs to the Greyhounds, and yes, we are all ready to run. ⚽
