Emmy award-winning series Ted Lasso is returning for a fourth season, Apple TV+ has announced.

US actor Jason Sudeikis reprises the role of Ted, coach of AFC Richmond, who left the club in series three to return to America.

Sudeikis, 49, said: “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.”

In series three, Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) stepped up as assistant coach, alongside coach Beard (Brendan Hunt), while Ted (Sudeikis) dealt with personal issues back home.
