Ted LassoSeason 4 is looking highly certain as one of its key players looks to be finally aboard another go around. Warner Bros. TV Group Chairman and CEOChanning Dungeyrecently shared a promising update suggesting thatJason Sudeikiswho played the titular character for three seasons, is interested in a return for the long-rumored Season 4. Sudeikis has been an important part of the hit series in front and behind the cameras, serving as co-creator and head writer, andthe possibility for another seasonwas always hinged on his willingness to continue the show.
Ted LassoSeason 3ended Lasso’s arc in a rather definitive manner as the AFC Richmond coach returned to his hometown of Kansas after failing to defend the club’s Premier League title. The ending was well-received by many fans, with some arguing thatLasso’s return to Richmond would alter the show’s consistency. However, others are all for having the coach back for more humor and relentless optimism. While it isn’t yet clear what direction Season 4 will take plotwise, it does appear that it will feature Sudeikis in some capacity as the Warner Bros exec shares that the show’s star is “feeling really excited, and feels good about it.” Speaking in an interview withVariety, Dungey said:
“We are in conversations about season four, and they are very exciting conversations, but it’s still early days. We had always been clear that there wasn’t going to be more ‘Ted Lasso’ if Jason [Sudeikis] and team weren’t feeling excited about it, andI can tell you firsthand that he’s in a place where he’s feeling really excited and feels good about it.”
