Filming for Ted Lasso season 4 has begun, and the question of when this acclaimed show will return to Apple TV+ is still a hot one.
In an interview with Variety, Channing Dungey, the chairperson/CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group, discussed the plans for Ted Lasso season 4. Dungey revealed that, while Apple has no firm premiere date for the fourth season, the company has discussed releasing it sometime in mid-2026.
Specifically, Dungey expects Ted Lasso season 4 to premiere in “Q2 going forward,” which is sometime between April and June.
If Dungey’s prediction holds true, Ted Lasso could help make 2026 a spectacular year for Apple TV+. In its original run, Ted Lasso became one of Apple’s most-watched shows and won several Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series.
Ted Lasso season 4 could be another huge success, especially since Dungey claims people will be “very excited about this next version of the [show’s] story.”
If hit comedies like The Studio, Shrinking, and Bad Monkey return in 2026 alongside Ted Lasso, Apple TV+ could have one of the best years in its history in terms of viewership and acclaim.
Fans of AFC Richmond should mark their calendars for mid-2026, as that seems to be when Ted Lasso will return for season 4.
With the fourth season in the early stages of production, the plot details are subject to change and will be revealed in the lead-up to the release. While the team behind Ted Lasso should take its time on season 4, here’s hoping the show returns sooner rather than later.
China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.
According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.
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?
