Summary
Jason Sudeikis said he made “very difficult” one-on-one calls to Ted Lasso actors to tell them their AFC Richmond characters would not return in Season 4.
Season 4 shifts Ted back to Richmond to coach a second-division women’s football team, a creative reset that sidelines the men’s squad central to the first 3 seasons.
Lead cast members including Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Juno Temple and Brett Goldstein are returning, while supporting players’ status remains unclear and guest appearances are still possible.
Phil Dunster was already set to miss the new season because of scheduling conflicts, and the show has also recast Henry, with Grant Feely taking over the role.
Apple TV had originally ended the series in 2023, but the revived fourth season now has an official logline and is due Aug. 5.
