Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, and more are all smiles in 'Ted Lasso' season 4 first look
Biscuits with the boss look a tad different in the first look at season 4 of Ted Lasso. Apple TV+ released the first look at Jason Sudeikis, Jeremy Swift, Hannah Waddingham, and Juno Temple in the upcoming fourth season of the Emmy-winning series as production officially begins Monday in Kansas City, with additional filming set to take place in London. Swift (as Leslie Higgins), Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Temple (Keeley Jones), and Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) are gathered around a booth in a sun-drenched diner in the photo. Brett Goldstein, also a writer and executive producer on the dramedy, and Brendan Hunt, series co-creator, are also set to reprise their roles as Roy Kent and Coach Beard, respectively. The new season will follow Ted as he returns to Richmond to tackle his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women's football team. "Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would," per the the crew are series newcomers Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely, the latter of whom will be stepping in as Ted's son, Henry. Though initially conceived as a three-season series by Sudeikis and his co-creators, the show received a surprise season 4 renewal back in March. The Apple TV+ juggernaut debuted 2020 and introduced Sudeikis' fish-out-of-water American football coach who is hired to manage a British soccer team. Goldstein memorably compared the return to the resurrection of a dead cat while speaking to NPR in April. "I have a friend that I went to university with, and I think about this a lot," Goldstein recalled. "He had a cat that died. He loved his cat. And the cat was run over, and they buried the cat. He was a child. They buried the cat in the garden, and he lay in bed so sad, so upset and crying, and he prayed and he wished, 'I wish the cat would come back.'" "And then the cat did come back, and it turned out the cat they buried wasn't their cat," he continued. "I think about that all the time. I'm like, no wonder this guy is f---ed in the head, because he thinks death isn't real, so of course he's insane. He's such a weird guy 'cause he thinks he can bring things back from the dead." Resurrecting the show felt like that cat's resurrection, he said. "I guess I'm saying I feel like that kid. Like, we buried it. We all cried, we had a funeral. Are you saying we can bring anything back?' It's too much power.' Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Victoria Pedretti Reveals She's Engaged to Ethan DeLorenzo: 'I'm Deeply in Love'
Victoria Pedretti and Ethan DeLorenzo are engaged! On Monday, July 21, the You actress, 30, revealed that she and the photographer have taken the next step in their relationship. 'It's no secret I'm deeply in love or that I'm engaged to Ethan. I tell everyone I meet,' she captioned a joint Instagram post with her fiancé. Their upload began with a single, close-up shot of DeLorenzo standing outdoors during a sunset looking toward the camera. The photo that followed was an image of the couple smiling as they hugged, gazing into each other's eyes in a parking lot. Another picture showed their shadows as they spent more time outdoors. Ahead of their engagement news, DeLorenzo posted an Instagram carousel featuring Pedretti to his feed on March 6. 'i'd lay on the cliff side during the apocalypse with you any day… expired polaroid film 💜,' he captioned the two-photo upload, which showed the Haunting of Hill House actress standing outside on a sunny day. DeLorenzo was previously engaged to Jena Malone. He and the Hunger Games: Catching Fire actress, 40, are parents to a son named Ode Mountain. Before their son was born, Malone shared a tribute to DeLorenzo on social media, praising him for the journey ahead. 'Thank you for being the living, breathing definition of a true partner," she wrote at the time. "Your sacrifice and dedication to the ones you love. Your patience and humor. Your warm heart. Your (sic) the best man I've ever met and I can't wait to watch you become what you were destined to become, an amazing father.' Pedretti previously sparked romance rumors with her You costar Dylan Arnold. The pair played Love Quinn and Theo Engler, respectively, on the hit Netflix thriller series. Their characters entered into a dangerously flirty relationship with each other in season 3. When photos of Pedretti and Arnold, now 31, hanging out together surfaced online in November 2021, reps for the stars did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. In March 2023, Netflix announced that the hit series was renewed for a fifth and final season.

While Pedretti's character did not return for the final installment, she told E! News in 2021 that the show's antagonist Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) was likely Love Quinn's "soulmate." "I do see them as soulmates," Pedretti said. "I think that they're uniquely capable of fulfilling each other's weaknesses, and their strengths are really there to support and uphold each other." All 5 seasons of You are now streaming on Netflix. Read the original article on People
