'We're not in Richmond anymore': What we know about 'Ted Lasso' Season 4

Yahoo11 hours ago
Believe it — Season 4 of Ted Lasso has officially begun production, Apple TV+ announced this week. That's right, Coach Lasso, the show's beloved mustachioed and mild-mannered namesake, who helped guide audiences through a global pandemic with optimism and humanity, is back on the football pitch.
Well, this calls for biscuits.
Filming has officially kicked off in star Jason Sudeikis's (Ted Lasso) hometown of Kansas City, Mo. Mayor Quinton Lucas called it 'another major victory for the city's rapidly expanding film industry,' in a post on X, in which he appears to be sporting a blue Ted Lasso hat. Additional filming is also set to take place across the pond in London.
Apple TV posted a video on Instagram of Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins), Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Juno Temple (Keeley Jones) and Sudeikis are sitting in what appears to be a booth at a traditional American restaurant as some of the key members of AFC Richmond get ready to film a scene. The caption reads: 'We're not in Richmond anymore. Ted Lasso Season 4 is now in production.'
The streaming service confirmed back in March that there would be a fourth season. The show has won 13 Emmy Awards and has received a total of 61 Emmy nominations.
Barbecue sauce.
What can fans expect in Season 4?
At the end of Season 3, Ted ends up returning to the U.S. after coaching the fictional AFC Richmond soccer team in London in order to be closer to his son, Henry.
The streaming service indicates on its website what fans can expect in the highly anticipated new season: '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.'
Do we know when Season 4 will be released or if there's an official trailer?
So far, Apple TV+ says a release date for Season 4 is coming soon. No official trailer has been released yet, aside from this week's teaser.
Which characters will return?
Even though they're not pictured in the promo image, the wise Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) and Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) will be back.
Grant Feely will replace Gus Turner as Ted's son, Henry. Other newcomers to join the cast in roles that have yet to be revealed include: Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey and Abbie Hern.
Who is not returning?
Fan favorites like Nick Mohammed (Nate Shelley) and Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt) along with Sarah Niles (Dr. Sharon Fieldstone), Anthony Head (Rupert Mannion), Toheeb Jimoh (Sam Obisanya), James Lance (Trent Crimm), Cristo Fernández (Dani Rojas), Kola Bokinni (Isaac McAdoo) and Billy Harris (Colin Hughes) weren't named as regular returning characters in Season 4.

Sean Connery as 007: 12 Behind the Scenes Images of Bond at His Best

Here are 12 behind the scenes photos of Sean Connery — the first and best James Bond, aka 007 — to appear in films. From his debut in Dr. No to his surprise return in Never Say Never Again, Connery personified Ian Fleming's dashing, wry super secret agent and set the standard for all James Bond actors to come. Here are the behind the scenes images of Sean Connery's 007.

Shakespeare notes: "Connery's background – naval boxer, lifeguard, art class model – was a marketable asset. He was brought up in a Scottish slum, like Ian's grandfather. His father was a truck driver, his mother a cleaning lady." He adds: "Among choice biographical details: He had delivered milk to Bond's second school Fettes, and acted at the Oxford Playhouse as an aristocratic diplomat in Pirandello's Naked. Above, that's Fleming, left, with Connery, right, on the set of the first Bond movie, 1962's Dr. No. The Right Man for the Job? Shakespeare's book notes that according to Fleming's film agent, Robert Fenn, Fleming was initially shocked because Connery "couldn't speak the Queen's English. Fleming said, 'He's not my idea of Bond at all, I just want an elegant man, not this roughneck.'' Later, according to the book, Fleming would call Connery an 'over-developed stuntman' and wonder if he had 'the social graces' to play his hero. Above, Connery is fitted for 1962's From Russia With Love. License to Kill Fleming, obviously, needed a woman's perspective. His friend Ivar Bryce's cousin, Janet Milford Haven, was known as a good judge of people — and men — and offered her input after a lunch with Fleming and Connery. Her opinion of Connery? 'I said, 'I think that fellow is divine. He's not too good-looking, he looks masculine, he looks like a proper man and one that would be used to that life. He looks like he is very clever, he looks like he would know how to do everything, who could kill,'' said Haven, according to Shakespeare's book. Above: Connery and Shirley Eaton in Goldfinger. A Real Charmer Shakespeare writes that Fleming finally became convinced that Connery was the right Bond, writing to his muse and mistress, Blanche Blackwell: 'the man they have chosen for Bond, Sean Connery, is a real charmer – fairly unknown but a good actor with the right looks and physique.' Above: Sean Connery with Ursula Andress and Fleming in a publicity image for Dr. No. Athleticism Whether or not he was an "over-developed stuntman," Connery's athleticism was a key component of his success as 007. Above, he cavorts on a Jamaican beach with Ursula Andress, who played Honey Ryder in Dr. No. Here are 13 Behind the Scenes Images of Ursula Andress in Dr. No. Chemistry His chemistry with Andress on Dr. No was a huge part of the first Bond film's success, and would provide a template for Bond's dynamics with legions of future "Bond girls." The chemistry came through even though Andress' voice was dubbed for the role. (Andress' languages include French, German, and Italian, but her English was accented.) "He was very protective towards me, he was adorable, fantastic," Andress said in a 2020 interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera after Connery's death at 90. "He adored women, He was undoubtedly very much a man.'' Friends Andress, who was married to John Derek while making Dr. No, added of Connery in the Corriere della Sera interview: 'We spent many evenings together and he would invite me everywhere, Monte Carlo, London, New York, from when we met until now we always remained friends. Friends, friends.'" Good as Gold Connery played Bond in seven films in all. What's the best? For our money, it's 1964's Goldfinger, in which Connery starred opposite Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore. Above, they rehearse an infamous scene that, let's admit, has aged badly. Here Are 12 Behind the Scenes Images From Goldfinger. Shakespeare While later Bond actors would lean into the campier aspects of the character, Connery played him seriously. He once said that 'portraying Bond is just as serious as playing Macbeth on stage,' according to Shakespeare. (Ian, not William.) Above: Connery enjoys some downtime on the set of 1965's Thunderball. Buoyant Despite his serious approach to the role, Connery had just the right mix of seriousness and levity to play the deadly superspy who treats everything like a game. That's him behind the scenes of Thunderball with Claudine Auger, who played Domino. Also Read: All 007 Bond Actors, Ranked Of Course Given the technology of the time, sometimes Connery was forced into Roger Moore levels of silliness. That's him behind the scenes of 1967's You Only Live Twice, above. It only adds to the charm. Forever Sean Connery left the Bond franchise after You Only Live Twice, and George Lazenby took over for 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service, perhaps the most tragic of all Bond movies, given its bummer ending. But Connery returned for 1971's Diamonds Are Forever. Above, he shares a laugh on the Diamonds Are Forever set with Jill St. John. Never Say Never? That was it for Sean Connery as James Bond — until 1984, when he was lured back one last time. 1983's Never Say Never Again was a reference to Connery's 1971 quote that he would never again play Bond. Like Thunderball, it is based on Ian Fleming's Thunderball — yes, that's right. Is it a remake? Kind of, but it's updated with Bond frequently referencing his advancing years. (Connery was 52 at the time of filming, and would live for another 38 years.) Never Say Never Again was released by Warner Bros. rather than the usual Bond distributor, United Artists, because of a completed rights dispute we don't have to get into here.

Ozzy Osbourne Posthumously Scores 10th Top 10 Album With ‘The Essential Ozzy'

Ozzy Osbourne's legacy continues to cement itself on the charts as fans turn to his music while mourning his death. Osbourne died at age 76 on July 22 after a years-long struggle with Parkinson's disease. Between July 18 and 24, 'The Essential Ozzy Osbourne' earned nearly 44,000 equivalent album units, debuting at No. 7 on the albums chart, according to Luminate. More from Variety Kelly Osbourne References Black Sabbath Lyrics to Mourn Ozzy Osbourne: 'I Feel Unhappy, I Am So Sad' Ozzy Osbourne's Lost Interview: Black Sabbath Icon on Death Threats, Working With Wife Sharon, and Being Mystified by Glam Metal, 'I Even Fancied the F--in' Lead Singer of Poison!' Bizarre Trisha Paytas Baby Reincarnation Theory Goes Viral After Ozzy Osbourne's Death The collection becomes the Prince of Darkness's 10th top 10 album and a powerful tribute to the heavy metal icon. Released in 2003, the album reaches the top 10 for the first time in history. It previously peaked at No. 81 in 2003, the year it was released. The collection was streamed over 48 million times this tracking week, debuting at No. 9 on Billboard's Top Streaming Albums. Osbourne formerly claimed a top 10 in the Billboard 200 with 'Patient Number 9' (No. 3 in 2022), 'Ordinary Man' (No. 3, 2020), 'Scream' (No. 4, 2010), 'Black Rain' (No. 3, 2007), 'Down to Earth' (No. 4, 2001), 'Ozzmosis' (No. 4, 1995), 'No More Tears' (No. 7, 1991), 'Tribute' (with Randy Rhoads, No. 6 in 1987) and 'The Ultimate Sin' (No. 6, 1986). As the frontman of Black Sabbath, Osbourne also charted top 10s with '13' (No. 1 in 2013) and 'Master of Reality' (No. 8, 1971). The leading title on the list this week comes from Tyler, The Creator, who scores his fourth and consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 'Don't Tap the Glass.' The set achieves 197,000 units and is the top-selling album of the week with 128,000 sold. Those sales are largely from five physical offerings exclusively sold via the artist's official webstore: a vinyl LP, CD and three deluxe boxed sets. The California-bred rapper has recently made a habit of releasing albums off-cycle. As a result, 'Don't Tap the Glass' was released on a Monday (July 21), giving it only four days of activity in its first tracking week. He previously topped the chart with 'Chromakopia' (2024), 'Call Me If You Get Lost' (2021), and 'Igor' (2019). There were more than a few new top releases on the charts this week, including Jessie Murph's 'Sex Hysteria' and BTS' eighth top 10, 'Permission To Dance On Stage (Live).' Murph scores her first top 10 on the Billboard 200 as 'Sex Hysteria' debuts at No. 8 with 44,000 units earned, powered by 48 million streams across its 15 tracks. It marks her third entry on the Billboard 200, following 'That Ain't No Man That's the Devil' (No. 24 in 2024) and 'Drowning' (No. 162 in 2023). The new album arrives on the heels of two Hot 100 hits: 'Blue Strips' — her highest-charting single to date and first top 20, peaking at No. 15 in May — and 'Touch Me Like a Gangster' (No. 56 in June). The momentum continues as the 22-year-old kicks off her 'Worldwide Hysteria Tour' today in Phoenix, Arizona, with major stops planned across North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Alex Warren's 'You'll Be Alright, Kid' also enters the top 10 of the Billboard 200 for the first time as it lifts from No. 19 to No. 5 after it was expanded with 10 added songs. The set includes Warren's Hot 100 hit, 'Ordinary,' which has spent seven weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Closing out the top 10 is BTS with the group's first live album, recorded in 2021 during their tour fo the same name. The set launched with 43,000 equivalent album units earned, with album sales comprising 36,000. The remainder of the top 10 is comprised of previously released sets: Morgan Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' is at No. 2; 'The KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack is at No. 3; Jackboys and Travis Scott's 'Jackboys 2' is at No. 4; Justin Bieber's 'Swag' is at No. 6; and Clipse's 'Let God Sort Em Out' is at No. 9.
