Summary
Jason Sudeikis said he made “very difficult” one-on-one calls to Ted Lasso actors to tell them AFC Richmond’s original men’s team would not return in season 4.
Season 4 instead shifts Ted back to Richmond to coach a second-division women’s football team, a creative pivot the cast and creators said emerged after the show had initially been expected to end in 2023.
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 is already out because of scheduling conflicts, and the show has also recast Henry, with Grant Feely taking over as Ted’s son.
