Believe it — Season 4 of Ted Lasso has officially begun production, Apple TV+ announced this week. That’s right, Coach Lasso, the show’s beloved mustachioed and mild-mannered namesake, who helped guide audiences through a global pandemic with optimism and humanity, is back on the football pitch.

Ted Lasso will return with a fourth season on Apple TV+, and the show needs to meet priorities for its story and characters to win over audiences.

Apple TV+ announced several new faces joining the cast of Ted Lasso season 4, including Faye Marsay ( Andor ), Abbie Hern ( My Lady Jane ), and Tanya Reynolds ( Sex Education ). Other new cast members include Jude Mack ( Mickey 17 ), Aisling Sharkey ( Jurassic World Dominion ), and newcomer Rex Hayes.
