‘Ted Lasso’ Will Recast Key Role in Season 4

Ted Lasso Season 4 is officially happening, and while lead actor Jason Sudeikis is currently the only member of the ensemble confirmed to return, the new series will recast another key role. Following months and months of rumor and speculation, the fourth season of the hit Apple TV+ sports comedy has now been officially confirmed, with Sudeikis having teased that the show’s return will find Lasso managing a women’s soccer (or football) team.

According to Deadline, one role that is now being recast is that of Ted Lasso’s son, Henry Lasso. Played throughout Seasons 1 – 3 by Gus Turner, Henry featured in the series mostly on FaceTime calls as he contacted his father from Kansas while Ted was coaching AFC Richmond in the United Kingdom. While the soccer-loving Henry did pay a few visits in person, it’s possible that the character could play a much larger role in Season 4, adding a new dynamic for the show’s return.

Details on Ted Lasso Season 4 remain largely under wraps at present, but Jason Sudeikis did offer some insight into what’s to come during a recent appearance on the New Heights Podcast.

“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,’ in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be.”

What Do We Know About ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4?

Currently, Jason Sudeikis is the only actor signed on to officially return. However, several key cast members, including Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift, are reportedly in talks to return alongside him. The new series finds Jack Burditt of Modern Family and 30 Rock fame joining Season 4 on board as executive producer, with Sudeikis also serving as executive producer alongside Coach Beard actor Brendan Hunt, Toheeb Jimoh, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee and Bill Wrubel. Brett Goldstein will write and executive produce Season 4 alongside Leann Bowen.

First airing back in 2020, Ted Lasso finds Saturday Night Live alumni Jason Sudeikis as the titular Ted Lasso, an American college football coach who is unexpectedly recruited to coach a fictional English Premier League soccer team, AFC Richmond. Despite having no experience coaching soccer. While Lasso is given the job by the team’s owner, Rebecca Welton, in the hopes that he will fail and thus enact her vengeance on the previous owner, Ted’s charm and folksy optimism prove to be a major success, winning over not only Rebecca, but also the skeptical team.

Developed by Sudeikis alongside Scrubs’ Bill Lawrence, Ted Lasso features an ensemble cast that includes Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Nick Mohammed, Juno Temple, and Sarah Niles. The show was largely met with critical acclaim, though reactions were decidedly more mixed when it came to what was expected to be the third and final season.
