'Ted Lasso' to return with season four on Apple TV in August

Fan-favourite series ''Ted Lasso'' will make a comeback with its much-awaited fourth season on August 5, streaming service Apple TV has announced. The season will see Emmy Award winner Jason Sudeikis, who also serves as executive producer, return as the titular character, who in the first three instalments coached the underdog AFC Richmond men's football team. In season four, Ted takes 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,'' read the official logline. Actors Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift are also returning for the fourth chapter. New additions to the cast include Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern and Grant Feely. Goldstein serves as writer and executive producer alongside Leann Bowen. The series is produced by Doozer Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television, a division of NBCUniversal. ''Ted Lasso'' was developed by Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Joe Kelly and Hunt, and is based on a preexisting format and characters from NBC Sports. Since its global debut on Apple TV, the series has broken records and earned widespread praise from fans and critics. Its first season became the most Emmy-nominated comedy series, and the show went on to win back-to-back Outstanding Comedy Series Emmys for its first two seasons.
