Ted Lasso is set to return for Season 4, but some of its cast won't be coming back.
Remember when everyone was all doom and gloom during COVID-19, and then Ted Lasso came along and tried to soften our cold, cold hearts with its focus on kindness and teamwork? What a time!
What happened in the last season of Ted Lasso?
Truly, the world of television (or “TV”) has not been the same since the show ended its third season in May 2023. At the time, there was a lot of hemming and hawing on whether or not that third season was meant to be the final one, as Apple and its stars were cagey as all hell about it.
Brendan Hunt, Jason Sudeikis & co. delivered a damn endearing finale for #TedLasso. It’s never solely been Ted’s story, but rather about this family who found comfort in each other. Considering season 3’s messy structure, I’m happy they managed to wrap-up every arc pretty nicely. pic.twitter.com/vidCA9uZ1B

Every character (give or take a Rupert, obvi) got their happy ending and essentially rode off into the sunset, so fans were content enough for the third season to be the book closer.
Not so, dear viewers.
Ted Lasso Season 4 may soon become a reality
It turns out Apple was vague about new Ted Lasso seasons because they had no idea themselves.
News this week suggests that’s all taken a turn, with three of the show’s stars having their options picked up for a new season per Deadline: Brent Goldstein (Roy Kent), Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Walton), and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins).
‘TED LASSO’ will return for season 4 on Apple TV+.

While contracts are still being worked out with the show’s star and co-creator, Jason Sudeikis, the understanding seems to be that he’s on board, too, as they likely wouldn’t have plowed forward without him.
One of the show’s stars who won’t be returning is Jamie Tart himself, Phil Dunster, whose schedule conflicts with two Amazon shows. We'll get to this later.
The internet reacts to a fourth Ted Lasso season
So, how does the internet feel about the (in hindsight, inevitable) return of Ted Lasso? Are we ready to feel “good” again?
Lotta people out there don’t understand what season 4 of Ted Lasso is gonna do for a guy like me’s mental health

I love ted lasso positivity because it’s always funny to contrast that with the latest story about how well jason sudekis is handling his divorce

Excited for Ted Lasso S4 but if they try to force a relationship between you know who and you know who I’m gonna revolt.

We do not need another Ted Lasso season. The last one was a slug but ended wrapping up perfectly. Don't ruin a good thing for a check. https://t.co/ktn75NGMcY

I loved Ted Lasso as much as the next guy, even enjoyed the final season more than a lot of people apparently did (although I only really remember the Amsterdam episode), but what do we need another season for? Stop milking wonderful things

The most vocal contingency, however, is the Jamie Tart diehards, who are not taking this news well.
Friends, the following posts occurred within the span of fifteen minutes:
