After a looooong stretch of speculation, Apple officially confirmed earlier this year that Ted Lasso is returning for a fourth season. Now, actress Hannah Waddingham is sharing new details about the production timeline, as reported by Deadline.
In an interview with Capital FM, Waddingham, who plays AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, praised the show’s writing team:
“Our writers are literally Jedi Knights. And we’ve got like a full room of real feminist men… You really see it in the scripts.”
She added that the new season starts shooting in July, and echoed co-star Brett Goldstein’s recent statements about the return of the show:
“We thought we’d mourned the loss, and now it’s rising from the dead!”
Waddingham is one of several original cast members confirmed to return, alongside Jason Sudeikis, Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple, and Jeremy Swift.
New season, new focus
Although Ted Lasso was originally pitched as a three-season arc, Apple renewed the series for a fourth season last year. The new run of episodes is expected to follow Ted as he takes on a new challenge: coaching a women’s soccer team.
In a recent press release about the show’s return, Jason Sudeikis said:
“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,’ in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be.”
The new season has no premiere date yet, but you can catch up on Seasons 1 through 3 on Apple TV+.
Apple TV+ is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking and Silo.
