"Ted Lasso" star and co-creator Jason Sudeikis says he doesn't know whether the show will continue, but he wants it to, and he assumes Apple TV does too. It took three years for Apple to revive "Ted Lasso," and that was despite then-CEO Tim Cook himself wanting more. Now that the fourth season is finished, Sudeikis has said he hopes for more.
Speaking on the podcast "Talk Easy with Sam Frogoso," Sudeikis said the idea of reviving the show at all was to do more than one new run. "I mean, that was the endeavor of going back into it," he said, "just sort of like, oh, I think there's more in there." He added, "I would like to [do more], yeah, I think it would be fun. I just don't know. We haven't started a writers' room or anything like that." Asked whether Apple would do more as long as he wanted to keep going, he said, "I would assume so."
The odds of a fifth season are already high, given that Apple TV tends to commission two seasons at a time. That is common practice in television for contractual reasons, but a streamer can also cancel a show rather than take up the option for the next run, which usually happens when a show underperforms. Apple has not released official figures, but season four is estimated to have attracted nearly 300 million US viewing minutes in its first two days.
There were earlier reports of problematic production. In July 2026, reports said production ran a month behind schedule, and problems allegedly led to what were called "come to Jesus" Zoom calls between the production team and Apple TV. Producers have told AppleInsider off the record that Apple TV is hands-off as long as it likes the footage and there are no problems. If Apple needs to step in, however, the chances of further seasons would be nil. In July, Sudeikis said he intended to assemble a writers' room for a fifth and perhaps sixth season by August. That apparently has not happened yet.
