After more than a year of speculation, Apple TV+ has ordered a fourth season of its Emmy-winning comedy Ted Lasso. The pickup comes after co-creator and star Jason Sudeikis closed a deal to reprise his role as the title character, the manager of the fictional AFC Richmond soccer club in London.

Coach Lasso's words have new meaning now that Apple TV Plus announced Ted Lasso season 4 has been greenlit. On Friday, the company shared the series will return to the streaming service, with star Jason Sudeikis reprising his role as the tenderhearted coach.

On March 14, Apple TV+ confirmed that Ted Lasso will return for Season 4. Jason Sudeikis, who co-created the show with Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, and Bill Lawrence, will reprise his role and serve as an executive producer in the upcoming installment as well.
