EXCLUSIVE: Ted Lasso fans, this is not a drill. In a major step toward the long-awaited fourth season of Apple TV+'s hugely popular soccer comedy, the series' studio Warner Bros. Television has picked up the options on the three original cast members who had been contracted under the aegis of the UK acting union Equity, sources tell Deadline. They are Hannah Waddingham, who plays AFC Wimbledon owner Rebecca Walton, Brett Goldstein, who plays hardman Roy Kent and Jeremy Swift, who plays Director of Football Operations Leslie Higgins.
After securing the trio, the studio is expected to start reaching out to Ted Lasso cast members with SAG-AFTRA contracts whose options had expired, so they will need to make new deals, we hear. In addition to co-creators/executive producers Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) and Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), the list is believed to include Juno Temple (Keeley Jones). It is unclear creatively which other Ted Lasso stars may be approached about Season 4; the cast have all said repeatedly that they would be happy to reprise their roles if an opportunity arises.
I was going to say, with For All Mankind soon ending, Apple TV are lacking for shows that cut through to the masses. There are some amazing shows on Apple TV but Ted Lassi is the only one I've seen talked about in most of my circles.Apple is probably paying WB a pretty penny to produce more seasons considering it's still their most popular show. I can imagine they've been pressuring them to get the crew back together.
I think Presumed Innocent was their number one drama. Supposedly Bad Monkey is doing solid as well. All WB productions too.I was going to say, with For All Mankind soon ending, Apple TV are lacking for shows that cut through to the masses.

Not sure about that part.

Season 3 was terrible - even compared to Season 2 (which I think has some high points). And that doesn't mean CW shows aren't also terrible nSeason 3 was only mediocre if you compare it to season 1. On its own at worst it was just good.
You guys have clearly not seen a CW joint if you think season 3 is terrible
FAM can keep going for a while, the idea of the show as Ronald D Moore imagined it was to have a show that bridges the gap between humanity first exploring space to the Star Trek society of 23rd century. So at the very least it can go on for 2-3 more seasons.I was going to say, with For All Mankind soon ending, Apple TV are lacking for shows that cut through to the masses.
