‘ted Lasso’ Targets August Return as Hannah Waddingham Teases Season 4

Ted Lasso: The Return We’ve Been Waiting For

You might think this is new, but… Jason Sudeikis has been teasing the return of Ted Lasso since before you were born. The fourth season is finally coming in August 2026.

And what a return it will be! Hannah Waddingham, who plays Rebecca Welton, dropped the bombshell on Deadline’s Baz Bamigboye at the BAFTA Film Awards.

A New Chapter for Ted Lasso

“It’s a whole different deal,” she said. “With our Lady Greyhounds.” And if you ask her, August is when it premieres. “What if I’m wrong?” she asked rhetorically.

Ted Lasso isn’t just back; he’s taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team. The stakes are high, and the writing is so magnificent that Waddingham can’t wait to see what comes next.

Reunion and New Talent

The original cast members like Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift will all return. But there’s a new wave of talent joining the show: Tanya Reynolds, Faye Marsay, Jude Mack, and more.

Sudeikis has another three-season arc planned for his character, just as he did with Richmond’s men’s team. The writers are like a finely tuned machine, and Waddingham is grateful to be part of it all.

A Love for the Show

Waddingham loves Rebecca Welton so much that she would do it until she walks on a Zimmer frame when she’s 80. “I love her,” she said. “The life lessons are brilliant, and they’re just tipped in here and there.”

Waddingham sees Rebecca as a boss lady who’s also vulnerable. She gives actors the chance to explore different sides of their characters, making them shatterable yet strong.

The Ted Lasso Legacy Continues

Ted Lasso isn’t just another show; it’s a phenomenon that continues to grow. With its fourth season set for August 2026, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter. And with the likes of Hannah Waddingham and Jason Sudeikis at the helm, we’re in for something special.
