Phil Dunster, Brendan Hunt, Jason Sudeikis, Jeremy Swift and Brett Goldstein attend the FYC screening and Q&A of the Apple TV+ award-winning comedy "Ted Lasso" at Directors Guild Of America on December 15, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

"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," Sudeikis said in a statement.

Sudeikis told Deadline in 2023 that season 3 was the end of the road for the popular comedy-drama.

"Ted Lasso," which first premiered in 2020, became the most Emmy-nominated comedy series during its first season and has won 13 Emmy Awards overall, including two for outstanding comedy series.
