Ted Lasso has returned for a fourth season, but which songs feature in the new episodes? Find out below.
The Apple TV comedy follows the relentlessly optimistic American football coach Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis), who was originally hired to lead English football club AFC Richmond, despite having no experience in the sport.
In season four, Ted returns to Richmond to take on the new challenge of coaching the club’s women’s team, who are in the second division. Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift all return, while new additions to the cast include Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay and Grant Feely.
The 10-episode season premiered on Apply TV on Wednesday (August 5), with new instalments set to arrive every week until the finale on October 7. Check out the trailer below.
Back in April 2023, cast member Nick Mohammed spoke to NME about hopes of a fourth season, and revealed he was uncertain whether the series would “end, [become] a film [or move onto] season four”.
He also dismissed any hopes of a spin-off series centring around his character, Nate Shelley, saying: “In general, I worry about spin-offs, especially for a really large show like Lasso. I mean, if you get it wrong, it’s just a shame, isn’t it?”
