The highly anticipated return of "Ted Lasso" is taking shape, with filming for Season 4 reportedly set to commence in May or June 2025. The beloved Apple TV+ series is poised to take a fresh direction, focusing on AFC Richmond's expansion into women's football.
According to Sigmund Judge of the 'Magic Rays of Light' podcast, pre-production is already in full swing, with the show's creative team preparing for what appears to be an ambitious new chapter. The series, which has garnered numerous awards since its debut, will reportedly continue the story of AFC Richmond with a significant twist - the formation of a women's team.
This development isn't entirely unexpected, as speculation about the show's return has been circulating since autumn 2024, with reports indicating that key cast and crew members were "excited" to resume their roles. The women's team storyline is expected to prominently feature fan-favorite characters Rebecca Welton and Keeley Jones taking leadership roles in this new venture.
Judge also revealed that the series has reportedly secured a three-season order, mirroring the structure of its initial run. "The original agreement was a three season order, which I believe has been repeated," he stated, adding that writing teams have likely been working behind the scenes for some time.
While the show's focus may be shifting, viewers can expect to see familiar faces from the men's team returning for Season 4 and beyond. This evolution in the storyline promises to maintain the series' signature charm while exploring new territory in the world of AFC Richmond.
