Is Ted Lasso heading again to AFC Richmond?

Full spoilers comply with for Ted Lasso season 3.

That’s the largest query on everybody’s minds following this announcement. AFC Richmond missed out on a shock, to not point out first-ever, English Premier League title in the course of the remaining spherical of matches in season 3 episode 12, so there’s an argument to be made that Ted has unfinished enterprise with the Greyhounds.

Despite heading again to the US within the season 3 finale, many had hoped he’d be reunited with Coach Beard, Nate Shelley, and Roy Kent at Nelson Road within the present’s subsequent chapter. But, he will not be making an sudden comeback to AFC Richmond – and there is a very huge purpose why.

Speaking on the New Heights Show (see above), aka the podcast helmed by the Kelce brothers Travis and Jason, Sudeikis confirmed that the eponymous soccer coach could be taking cost of a girls’s workforce in season 4. That signifies that, except he is joined stateside by any members of Richmond’s teaching workers, it is extremely unlikely that any of the present’s supporting forged of characters, all of whom we fell in love with, will seem within the sequence’ subsequent entry.

That stated, Deadline reviews that Juno Temple, who performed Keeley in seasons 1 by means of 3, is in negotiations to reprise her function. So, there could also be one different acquainted face to sit up for seeing once more.

If Temple does not signal on to seem, at the least there will be some continuity behind the scenes. Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, and Bill Wrubel are all again to government produce the present alongside Sudeikis. Brett Goldstein, who performs Roy Kent and co-penned a number of episodes of Ted Lasso‘s first three seasons, can also be returning in writing and producing capacities.

As for a filming begin date, that is an unknown amount. Last October, it was recommended that the cameras may begin rolling on a rumored fourth season in January 2025. That all the time appeared like a pipe-dream of a manufacturing begin date and that is definitely proved to be the case – as of mid-March, Sudeikis informed the New Heights podcast that the scripts are nonetheless being penned. In brief: it might be some time earlier than principal images will get underway and even longer earlier than Ted’s subsequent journey begins. Let’s hope it is a goal-den alternative for him to lastly win one thing each time it’s launched.
