'Ted Lasso' Season 4 Trailer Is Here—and Richmond's Biggest New Challenge Has Arrived

The wait is officially over. After months of speculation, theories, and fans refusing to let go of hope, Apple TV has finally released the Ted Lasso Season 4 trailer and yes, Coach Lasso is heading back to Richmond.

The trailer gives fans their first look at the next chapter of the Emmy-winning comedy, which premieres Wednesday, August 5, on Apple TV. But don't expect Ted to pick up exactly where he left off. Season 4 is shaking things up in a big way. This time around, Ted Lasso is taking on a brand-new challenge by coaching a second division women's football team, introducing viewers to the Lady Greyhounds. It's a fresh direction for the beloved series and one that immediately sets this season apart from everything that's come before.

Jason Sudeikis returns as everyone's favorite relentlessly optimistic coach, and thankfully, he isn't coming back alone. The new season reunites fan favorites Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift, alongside newcomers Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely.

The newly released trailer keeps plenty of story details under wraps, but it does tease Ted's latest adventure as he helps a new group of players find confidence both on and off the pitch. If you've missed Ted's signature optimism, awkward one-liners, and ability to turn just about every conversation into a life lesson, don't worry. It looks like he's still very much Ted.

For fans wondering whether the series would feel different after the events of Season 3, the trailer makes one thing clear: while there's a new team at the center of the story, the heart of Ted Lasso hasn't gone anywhere.

Behind the scenes, the creative team remains packed with familiar names. Sudeikis serves as executive producer alongside Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, Bill Wrubel, and Brett Goldstein, while Jack Burditt joins Season 4 as an executive producer. Keeping much of the original creative team together should help preserve the warmth and humor that turned Ted Lasso into one of television's biggest success stories.

It's been a long road back to Richmond. When Season 3 wrapped, many viewers believed it was the end of Ted's journey, making the Season 4 announcement one of the biggest surprises in recent TV memory. Now that the first trailer is finally here, the countdown to the premiere officially begins.

The ten-episode fourth season kicks off Wednesday, August 5, with one episode, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through October 7. In the meantime, if you're looking for an excuse to revisit AFC Richmond before the Lady Greyhounds take the spotlight...well, here's one. All three previous seasons are currently streaming on Apple TV.
