March 14 (UPI) — Apple TV+ is renewing Ted Lasso for a fourth season, the streamer announced Friday.
Jason Sudeikis, who portrays Lasso in the comedy series, originally shared the news on Friday’s episode of the New Heights podcast.
“Is there Season 4?” asked retired NFL football player and podcast co-host Jason Kelce. “Is it in the works?”
“We’re writing Season 4 now,” Sudeikis responds. “That’s the official word. Ted’s coaching a woman’s team.”
The show, which premiered on Apple TV+ in 2020, has received 13 Emmy awards.
“Jason Sudeikis is a football coach leading a British soccer team,” an official synopsis reads. “What he lacks in knowledge, he makes up for with optimism… and biscuits.”
Sudeikis said in an Apple TV+ press release that Season 4 will showcase what happens when “the folks at AFC Richmond learn to leap before they look.”
