Jack Burditt (“No person Wants This,” “Modern Family,” “30 Rock”) has boarded Season 4 as executive producer under his recent overall take care of Apple TV+. Sudeikis will executive produce along with starring. Brendan Hunt (who also played Coach Beard)Toheeb Jimoh, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, and Bill Wrubel also executive produce.

“If ever there was a show the world needed more of right away, it could be ‘Ted Lasso,’” said Channing Dungey, chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group and WBD US Networks. “We — together with countless fans across the globe — have been rooting for one more season, and it’s an incredible feeling to give you the option to say, ‘Yes, it’s happening!’ We thank our partners at Apple and might’t wait for Jason and the complete ‘Ted Lasso’ dream team to step back onto the pitch and deliver one other season of this phenomenal series.”
