When ‘Ted Lasso‘ wrapped up its third season, fans were left with a bittersweet feeling. The finale gave us closure on many of our favorite characters, but let’s be real—who didn’t want just a little bit more? If you’re anything like us, you’re probably wondering if we’ve seen the last of Ted and his charming optimism.
Rumors have been swirling ever since that final episode aired, with fans dissecting every word, every hint, and every nudge from the show’s creators. But the question remains—will there be a ‘Ted Lasso‘ Season 4, or is this really the end of the road for our beloved coach and his quirky team?

The Future Of ‘Ted Lasso’ Depends On Jason Sudeikis
In the last season we watched Ted head back to the U.S. to reconnect with his son, leaving the future of AFC Richmond in the hands of Roy Kent (played by the ever-brooding Brett Goldstein). Sure, it was a satisfying conclusion, but does it really have to end there?
While we’d all love to see another season, the decision ultimately rests in the hands of one man: Jason Sudeikis. The show’s co-creator Bill Lawrence dropped some major insights during a recent interview with Collider.
He said, “We all loved the experience. As fans, we’d all kill if it was going again, but everybody would say the same thing, which is: whatever Jason feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it.”
That’s right—Sudeikis isn’t just the face of Ted Lasso; he’s also the heart, soul, and head writer of the series. Lawrence went on to emphasize just how pivotal Sudeikis is to the future of the show.
“Not only is he the star, he’s the head writer, and he’s also the dude whose life just has to be completely overhauled and moved to a foreign country with young children,” Lawrence explained. If anyone’s earned the right to decide the fate of ‘Ted Lasso‘, it’s definitely him.

What Could Be Next For AFC Richmond?
Even though Season 3 felt like a natural conclusion, the universe of ‘Ted Lasso‘ is rich with potential for more stories. We saw hints of possible new beginnings—like Keeley’s (Juno Temple) idea for a women’s team and Rebecca’s (Hannah Waddingham) ongoing journey with Richmond.
For now, though, we’re left playing the waiting game. Lawrence’s comments suggest that while there isn’t a concrete plan for a fourth season or spin-offs, the door isn’t entirely closed. It all boils down to what Sudeikis decides, and whether he’s ready to don that iconic mustache once more.
