Sometimes, you just have to Believe! Today, Apple TV+ announced that Ted Lasso is returning for a fourth season, with Jason Sudeikis reprising his iconic role.

While there’s been plenty of speculation that the renewal would be announced eventually, this is the first official confirmation. It was announced last August that Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift were in talks to return for a new season.

“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,’” Sudeikis said in a statement, “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.”

The news may be especially welcome for some fans since the Ted Lasso Season 3 finale received mixed reactions. The finale offered some closure for the series but did leave things open for the story to be able to continue.
