Ted Lasso is officially coming back to Apple TV, and the wait was worth it. Apple has confirmed that season 4 premieres on August 5, 2026, with new episodes dropping every Wednesday until October 7.
A teaser trailer is also out now, and it picks up right where you hoped it would. Ted is back in Richmond, looking as earnest and slightly lost as ever, and the trailer signals that the new season has something new for him.
Season 4 finds Ted returning to Richmond not to coach the Greyhounds, but to take charge of a second division women’s football team at AFC Richmond. That is the biggest change from previous seasons that came before, and the trailer leans into it with a scene where a Richmond fan greets Ted warmly before adding, “Too bad you’re coaching a bunch of girls, ya wan*er.”
The season’s central theme appears to be about taking leaps of faith, with the official synopsis describing Ted and the team learning to take chances they never thought they would. It is very on-brand, and honestly, it sounds like exactly what season 4 needs to feel fresh again after the last season finale.
The core cast is back alongside some exciting new additions. Jason Sudeikis returns as star and executive producer, with Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, and Jack Burditt among the executive producers. Here is the full breakdown:
Grant Feely, who plays Ted’s son Henry, previously played young Luke Skywalker in Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney Plus. The role has been recast for season 4 as Henry is now 12 and has become a skilled soccer player himself.
With Silo season 3 and For All Mankind spinoff ‘Star City’ also on the way, Apple TV is shaping up to have one of its strongest lineups yet in 2026.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
