‘One of the most popular comedies ever' finally gets season 4 update after 2-year wait
One of the biggest comedy shows of the past decade is finally getting started on the highly anticipated next season.
Despite being the most-watched series on Apple TV+, the series seemingly came to an end after just three seasons more than two years ago.
However, earlier this year the streamer announced that Ted Lasso had been renewed for a fourth season, confirming the return of Jason Sudeikis' plucky American Premier League coach.
Over two years since the season three finale back in May 2023, leading man Sudeikis has teased a change of pace for the series in a behind-the-scenes clip with some of the cast.
The short video posted on YouTube features the star with Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple and Jeremy Swift in what appears to be an American diner.
Confirming the surprise change of setting, the caption reads: 'We're not in Richmond anymore. Ted Lasso Season 4 is now in production.'
It looks like the fourth season will pick up after the latest finale, which saw Ted moving back to his home in Kansas to coach his son's football team.
However, AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton (played by Waddingham) and the gang look poised to convince him to move back for at least one more Premier League season in the UK.
A logline for the season reads: 'Ted returns to Richmond, taking on 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.'
As well as the four stars included in the video, both Brett Goldstein and Brendan Hunt are confirmed to return as Roy Kent and Coach Beard, respectively.
Plus, there will be several more changes being made this time around in addition to the shake-up of the show's setting.
Apple TV+ has also announced several new cast members for season four, including Sex Education's Tanya Reynolds and Adolescence star Faye Marsay.
Such Brave Girls' Jude Mack, My Lady Jane's Abbie Hern, Rex Hayes and Aisling Sharkey will also be joining the cast in supporting roles.
However, one important member of the cast won't be returning; Gus Turner, who portrays Ted's son Henry, has been replaced by Grant Feely.
Lead star and executive producer Sudeikis said of the series' return: '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.'

There are Badges to be won playing Score Predictor, Last Man Standing and Higher or Lower too! 3 What are Trophies? Trophies are virtual rewards given for achievements such as winning a Weekly Leaderboard, topping a Mini League, etc. While no additional XPs are awarded for trophies, they act as proof of your accomplishments and provide evidence when you feel like making use of your bragging rights. Trophies will remain in your profile for future Game Years, even after XP and Levels have been reset, allowing loyal users to rack up an honours list that would make even Pep Guardiola blush.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix blow as bosses have 'no appetite for anything new'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix contract is coming to an end and it's said the streaming giants have no intention of renewing the bumper deal Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Netflix dream is to come to an abrupt end, according to reports. While the Sussexes might have been hoping for a contract renewal, it appears the streaming giants have different ideas. Despite the former Suits star, 43, having "everything going for her," it seems as though ratings of her shows simply didn't cut it for those in the hot seat. It's claimed her viewing figures for With Love, Meghan were "dismal" with her lifestyle show failing to break into the top 300 Netflix programmes list in the first half of this year. To make matters worse, Meghan's flop even saw legal drama Suits place higher than her own creation. And Harry's own offering, a documentary on Polo, ranked in at 3,436 out of 7,000 shows. In six months, the project was only watched 500,000 times. Despite a second series of Meghan's solo series being ordered as part of their monster $100million deal, it's said there won't be any more after that. Their huge contract is set to expire this year and a source has said: "This deal is dead." According to the Mail, the source claimed: "'She had everything going for her—name, platform, press—and the numbers were dismal. "They're just waiting for the credits to roll. They're letting it expire without drama. There's no appetite for anything new." The opinion was seemingly backed up by former executive editor of the American edition of Ok! magazine, Rob Shuter, too. He claimed the streaming giant will not offer them a new contract once it concludes, confessing: "The interest just isn't there anymore. They went from buzzy to background noise." With Love, Meghan's figures were released earlier this year after the show first aired in March. The release date for the series was delayed two months due to the California wildfires. However, the delay didn't seem to drum up any further attention, leaving Meghan's Netflix career in limbo. The project saw the Duchess share cookery and hosting tips as well as invite a string of pals to join her as she demonstrated her secret hacks around the kitchen. But much to the disappointment of those involved, figures showed it was watched 5.3million times and in the ranking of the most watched shows, it came 383rd. At the top of the ranking board in the same time period was the hit drama Adolescence, which had 145million views. Second place saw Squid Game with 117million views. Harry makes just one appearance in the series, coming at the end of the first season's final episode. In the footage, the prince joins Meghan, her mother Doria Ragland and friends for an outdoor celebratory brunch. Meghan said it 'feels like a new chapter that I'm so excited that I get to share and I've been able to learn from all of you', in what is likely to be seen as a nod to the restrictions she felt within the royal family.
