Production for the highly anticipated fourth season of ‘Ted Lasso’ has officially begun, as announced by Apple TV+ on July 21. Filming has commenced in the hometown of star Jason Sudeikis, Kansas City, Missouri. The streaming service also delighted fans by releasing a first-look image featuring Jeremy Swift, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, and Sudeikis in their respective roles.

While the production kick-off took place in Kansas City, filming will also extend to London as part of the upcoming season’s backdrop. The storyline for season 4 sees Ted Lasso returning to Richmond to coach a second division women’s football team in what promises to be his most significant challenge yet.

‘Ted Lasso’ has garnered critical acclaim, with two Emmy wins for Outstanding Comedy Series and individual awards for Sudeikis, Waddingham, and Goldstein. The series has resonated with audiences for its heartwarming storytelling and endearing characters, making it a standout in the realm of scripted television.
