'Ted Lasso' Season 4 first look revealed as filming begins in Kansas City
Apple TV+ has released a first look photo from the upcoming fourth season of "Ted Lasso," which has officially started production in Kansas City. Filming is also set to take place in London, the streamer said.
The photo shows Jason Sudeikis' titular soccer coach seated at a restaurant alongside his old colleagues Leslie Higgins (Jeremy Swift), Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) and Keeley Jones (Juno Temple).
Brett Goldstein's Roy Kent and Brendan Hunt's Coach Beard aren't pictured in the image, but both characters are also returning for the new episodes, Apple has confirmed. Goldstein and Hunt are also producers on the new season.
Several supporting characters from the first three seasons of "Lasso," including Nick Mohammed's Nate and Phil Dunster's Jamie Tartt, have not been announced as part of the Season 4 cast.
The glimpse at Season 4 comes more than two years after the Emmy-winning soccer comedy aired what appeared to be its final episode in May 2023.
The show's first three seasons followed college football coach Ted as he is recruited from Kansas to coach a British soccer team, AFC Richmond. By the end of Season 3, Ted said goodbye to the team and moved back home to the U.S. to be with his son, Henry (Gus Turner). Sudeikis and his fellow "Lasso" producers had said in interviews that a three-season arc was planned from the start of the series.
But despite the finality of the Season 3 finale, which also tied up many stories for the supporting characters, Apple never explicitly confirmed that it was the end of "Lasso." After years of fan and media speculation that the show could continue in some form, a fourth season was officially announced in March of this year.
'Ted Lasso' fans can believe it: The show is back for a Season 4, with Ted coaching women
In Season 4, "Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women's football team," Apple's plot synopsis says, using the British word for soccer. "Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would."
Sudeikis teased in a March statement that "as we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to 'look before we leap," in Season 4 "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."
Speaking to USA TODAY in April, Goldstein said he "cried and we had such an emotional goodbye" at the end of Season 3 of "Lasso," but "I do think a part of me thought this wasn't the end."

"I just felt like it's such a lovely world," he added. "It sort of felt like surely there'll be a way to do more."
Newcomers to the cast in Season 4 include Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsey, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, and Abbie Hern. Grant Feely will take over the role of Ted's son, Henry.

Ozzy Osbourne family: Black Sabbath star's wife Sharon Osbourne and 6 kids
Legendary British rocker Ozzy Osbourne has died at 76, leaving in his wake an insurmountable legacy in the heavy metal genre. Osbourne, famous for his eccentric styling choices and role in Black Sabbath's success, also became known for his prominent family, who announced his death in a statement shared with USA TODAY July 22. "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy has passed away this morning," the statement read. "He was with his family and surrounded by love." "We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time," read the note, signed by wife Sharon and children Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis. What we know: Rock star Ozzy Osbourne dies weeks after final Black Sabbath show Ozzy Osbourne shared 3 children with first wife Thelma Riley The father of six children over two marriages, Osbourne has been vocal about how rigorous touring and alcohol use affected his family life. In 1971, he married Thelma Riley, whom he met at a nightclub in his native U.K. The pair had two children, Jessica, 53, and Louis, who is in his mid-40s. Osbourne also adopted a third child, Elliot, from Riley's previous relationship. The couple divorced in 1982. Ozzy Osbourne's second marriage with Sharon Osbourne Following the end of his first marriage, Osbourne went on to marry his manager, Sharon Arden (now Osbourne), in 1982. The two share three children: Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39. Their family life was chronicled in the early 2000s MTV show "The Osbournes," which Aimee opted out of filming. Sharon, whose own fame as a music manager and TV personality has grown to match his, had a talent portfolio that included not just her husband but other rockers like The Smashing Pumpkins and Motorhead. Kelly has also amassed her own fame as a singer, actress, designer and TV personality known for reality shows from "Dancing with the Stars" to "Fashion Police." She got engaged at her father's final Black Sabbath show in Birmingham, England, just weeks before his death. Meanwhile, youngest brother Jack is a TV personality who did a travel show with his dad – and, later, sister Kelly – for the History Channel and A&E, called "Ozzy & Jack's World Detour."

Halle Berry stuns with swimsuit photos while on desert vacation
Halle Berry is enjoying some fun in the sun. The 58-year-old "Monster's Ball" actress posted a series of swimsuit photos from her desert oasis while on vacation in Joshua Tree, Calif. The photos feature Berry in a black and white one-piece swimsuit by Monday Swimwear, with a cutout on the lower back. "Desert days 🌵 windows down, music up, nowhere to be but here," she captioned the post. In a few of the photos, Berry can be seen standing outside in front of a large glass window as she smiled at the camera, and others showed her giving the camera playful sultry looks as she played around with poses incorporating her large black sunhat. Most of the photos were taken from the waist up, but the actress also included two full-body selfies, which not only showed off her toned body, but also the stunning rocky landscape surrounding her. Fans in the comments section were quick to comment with heart and fire emojis, while others commented on her beauty. "Summer looks amazing on you queen @halleberry cheers!" one fan wrote, while another added, "Always stunning!" A third follower chimed in with, "Most beautiful woman in the world 😍." "Desert days 🌵 windows down, music up, nowhere to be but here." This isn't the first time Berry has showcased her toned body on Instagram. In honor of the 20th anniversary of her iconic movie, "Catwoman," last year, the actress posted topless photos of herself on Instagram, in which she is holding her two kittens in strategic positions to cover her chest while wearing a black mask to pay homage to the character. "And STILL... meow! It's been 20 years today since I had the honor of bringing this iconic character to life," Berry captioned the post. "She will always be close to my heart and I will forever be Patience Phillips aka CATWOMAN!" The actress first broke out onto the scene following her role in the 1992 movie, "Boomerang," which led to an Emmy win in 2000 for "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge," and an Academy Award win for "Monster's Ball," in 2002. In addition to "Catwoman," Berry has starred in a number of action movies, including "Die Another Day," the "X-Men" trilogy, "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum," "The Union" and many others. In August 2024, Berry said in a Netflix video on Instagram, she has been injured many times while making these films. "I've been knocked out three times, got an arm broken, broke ribs twice… two ribs one time, three ribs another time… broke a tail bone, broke two toes and a finger. This finger," she said as she held up her middle finger.
