On the heels of Jason Sudeikis himself finally confirming he’ll be back,Ted Lassoseason 4 is in talks with another returning star. Development on a fourth installment of the hit Apple TV+ sports comedy has been uncertain for the two years since season 3 premiered, with Sudeikis frequently remaining skeptical about continuing the show, while the rest of his cast remained open.Ted Lassoseason 4 got a sudden boostin progress in August 2024 when Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein and Jeremy Swift all signed new contracts to return.
AmidDeadline’s report of the official greenlight from Apple TV+ for the new season,it’s been reported that Juno Temple is in talks to return forTed Lassoseason 4as Keeley. Additionally, the publication’s sources report that filming on the next season is currently eyeing a July start, beginning in Kansas and then picking up in the United Kingdom.
What Temple’s Return Means For Ted Lasso Season 4
The Show Left Off On A Big Note For Her
Throughout the wait for an official renewal from the streamer, Temple remained eager to return forTed Lassoseason 4. The confirmation that Waddingham would be reprising her role as Rebecca further sparked interest in seeing her co-star return as Keeley,given how close the duo were throughout the first three seasons of the show. TheTed Lassoseason 3 endingalso further established her return as being key, given Keeley approached Rebecca with the idea of an AFC Richmond Women’s Team.
10 Storylines Ted Lasso Season 4 Can Explore Now That It’s Officially Happening
Now that Ted Lasso season 4 has been officially confirmed, there are plenty of exciting storylines it can explore, like the Richmond women’s team.
The other major reason why Temple’s return is major forTed Lassoseason 4 is that it could finally bring with ita definitive answer to Keeley’s romantic life. While not necessarily the only thing the character has going for her arc, much of the first three seasons was defined by the love triangle between Roy, Jamie and Keeley, with her relationship with the former being where she saw the most growth. Given Goldstein is already contracted to return, this leaves the door open for Keeley and Roy to pick things up.
The one hiccup that could prove troublesome for revisiting this love triangle is thatPhil Dunster has yet to be confirmed toreturn forTed Lassoseason 4. Prior to the official greenlight, the Jamie actor was similarly as skeptical as Sudeikis about the prospect of returning, feeling that they had left off on a reasonable note to not continue. While he could still be convinced to return for a guest spot, or a proper regular role, much like Sudeikis eventually coming around, season 4 may ultimately have to establish Roy as being the endgame for Keeley.
Our Take On Temple’s Ted Lasso Season 4 Return
Keeley’s Growth Is Only Just Beginning
While her romantic decision remains on my mind, I can’t deny that Temple’sTed Lassoseason 4 return makes me very thrilled about what comes next from Keeley’s wider arc. The possibility of an AFC Richmond Women’s Team sounds like a really promising continuation of both hers and Rebecca’s storylines, and would also make sense to put Keeley and Roy back in the same circles as he could help find a coach while Ted takes the reins again on the Men’s Team. Regardless of what’s to come, the fact that filming is reported to begin in July means we won’t have to wait long.
