"We all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to 'look before we leap,'" Sudeikis said in a statement. "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."
Ted Lasso won 13 Emmys including two for best comedy series during its three seasons from 2020 to 2023. Its future had been in doubt as the creators had said they originally planned for only three installments.
The American sports comedy-drama TV series is developed by Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly. It is based on the character Sudeikis portrayed in a series of promotional media for NBC Sports's coverage of England's Premier League.The show follows Ted Lasso, an American college football coach who is appointed to manage an English football team whose owner secretly believes his inexperience will lead to its demise, but whose folksy, cheerful leadership proves unexpectedly effective.
