Ted Lasso to 'self-reboot' with 'different story' in Season 4 as show creator predicts what Jason Sudeikis will do with AFC Richmond

<p>A story that was only ever intended to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/ted-lasso-episodes/blt41e4c4c21170c744" target="_blank">last three series came to a natural conclusion in May 2023</a> when affable American coach Lasso brought an eventful spell as a coaching rookie in England to a close and returned to his homeland.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Fans have been clinging to the hope that popular characters will be returned to to the small screen, with news of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/confirmation-ted-lasso-season-4-greenlit-popular-character-return-afc-richmond-waits-call-jason-sudeikis/blt8f216d46db2e59e6" target="_blank">green lights from production teams, writers and cast members</a> towards the end of 2024 being welcomed around the world.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Sudeikis, who plays Lasso and drives the show on a creative basis, is said to be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/believe-jason-sudeikis-feeling-really-excited-ted-lasso-season-4-afc-richmond-returning-screens-fully-on-board/bltef083ed1799e9be3" target="_blank">excited at bringing AFC Richmond back</a>. He is, however, being tipped to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/new-story-new-characters-claim-ted-lasso-creator-jason-sudeikis-drives-creativity-apple-tv-show-season-4/blt3b7dd5a9236a3e2b" target="_blank">move an emotional adventure in a new direction</a>, with there more exciting tales to be told.</p>

THE GOSSIP

<p>Bill Lawrence, who worked alongside Sudeikis on seasons one and two, has told the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2024-12-25/shrinking-bill-lawrence-apple-tv-plus-scrubs-ted-lasso-bad-monkey " target="_blank"><em>LA Times</em></a>: "The one thing that he was always very clear about, without divulging anything, is that the story that we came up with for the first three seasons was Ted Lasso had a beginning, middle and end; without a doubt it had an end, you saw him jumping around and go home.</p><p>"It helped cement my thoughts and I don’t want to speak for him, but it’d be interesting to see that there’s always another story to tell with characters that people like, but it’s a different story. It’s almost a self-reboot. I think that he [Sudeikis] always had in his head another story he wanted to tell."</p>

WHAT SHOW CREATOR SAID
