Ted Lasso will return this summer

Start baking your biscuits now because Ted Lasso is returning to Apple TV to warm hearts in a cold world. After capping season three with a flash-forward that most viewers took to mean the show was over (not to mention the episode was called “So Long, Farewell” and the show’s star, co-creator, and writer Jason Sudeikis kept insisting that “the story is done“), Sudeikis started regrowing his mustache last year to shoot a fourth season to the hit, Emmy-winning comedy. But we’re not waiting for an apology. After all, like Ted’s philosophy of cats and babies, you gotta let apologies come to you. But a fourth season should be enough to help the mourning Greyhound faithful get through another day. Thankfully, the show is returning this summer with season four, and Apple sent some photos and a synopsis to prove it.

So what is season four about? Well, if you thought coaching men’s soccer in a different country was difficult for Wichita’s folksiest football coach, you might want to take a seat. Here’s the logline: “In season four, Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.” Ted coaching women? Now we’ve heard of everything.

No word on an exact release date yet, but much of the regular cast, some of whom keep comparing the revived show to an exhumed dog’s corpse, will return, including Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Emmy Award-winner Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift. The show has also recruited some new players: Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsey, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely. Many of these new and returning faces can be found in the latest batch of first-look photos recently released by Apple. Welcome back, Ted. We look forward to more cast members calling the show a dead dog.

That sounds interesting though.

They must’ve backed up the money truck to get Sudeikis to cone back.
