‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4 Teaser Confirms the Focus Shift to AFC Richmond Women’s Team!! Check It Out!!

Ted Lasso has been out of our lives for long enough that many AFC Richmond fans were probably contemplating hanging up their scarves for good after the Apple TV comedy closed its original run in 2023. The series “ended” with Ted back in Kansas, AFC Richmond moving into a new era, and just enough emotional closure to make everyone cry into their biscuits. But hey, Ted would want us to believe and the dreams of the fans came true, because now, the Emmy-winning comedy finally has a return date.

Ted Lasso Season 4 will premiere on Apple TV on August 5, bringing Jason Sudeikis back as Ted for a new chapter that shifts the series in a brand new direction. This time, Ted is heading back to Richmond for what sounds like his biggest challenge yet. Season 4 will see him coaching a second division women’s football team, and that’s a pretty smart way to move the show forward without simply trying to replay the AFC Richmond story beat for beat.

After all, the introduction of an AFC Richmond Women’s team was teased in the Season 3 finale. Sudeikis previously teased the emotional idea behind the new season when Season 4 was first announced, saying:

“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,’ in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be.”
