Do We Really Need a 'Ted Lasso' Season 4?
At this point, most people have probably heard the news: After months of rumors and speculation, Apple TV+'s wildly popular soccer comedy Ted Lasso is officially returning for a fourth season. The specifics of this endeavor remain generally murky; apparently, Ted will somehow head back to London to coach the AFC Richmond women's team that was hinted at during the Season 3 finale*. It's unclear what other stories the new season will tell or even what cast members outside of star Jason Sudeikis are returning.
(*Why they couldn't find a woman to do this job, who can say?)
Obviously, on some level, it makes sense. Ted Lasso is one of the most successful series that Apple TV+ has ever produced, racking up award wins and crashing into the pop culture mainstream on a scale that none other of its series (besides Severance) has managed to come close to. (How much Ted Lasso merch have you seen in the wild?) Of course, Apple wants more of this franchise, in any way they can get it.
