<p>As speculation grows about the future of&nbsp;Ted Lasso, AFC Richmond captain Isaac McAdoo, portrayed by Kola Bokinni, has added his voice to the chorus of those supporting a potential fourth season. Despite the show’s third season seemingly wrapping up the stories of many characters, Bokinni has made it clear that he is ready to return <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/ted-lasso-star-drops-clues-about-more-seasons-amid-return-talk/">should the show continue</a>.</p>



<p>In an interview with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bigissue.com/culture/tv/kola-bokinni-race-across-the-world-ted-lasso-social-housing/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Big Issue</a>, Bokinni spoke candidly about his feelings toward the show and his character. “Whatever happens, I’ll be there for them, because they were there for me”. This statement reflects both his commitment to the show and his gratitude for the life-changing experience that&nbsp;Ted Lasso&nbsp;has provided him.</p>



<h2>Show that has transformed lives</h2>



<p>When&nbsp;Ted Lasso&nbsp;premiered on Apple TV+, it was initially met with some skepticism. Specifically, it irked the traditional dynamics of soccer culture. Bokinni himself admitted to being hesitant at first. He questioned whether an American coach’s story would resonate with soccer fans like himself. </p>



<p>“I was like, it’s a show about this American guy who comes over and tells us how to play football? But I’ve been playing football my whole life,” he shared.</p>



<p>However, the show’s success has been undeniable, quickly becoming a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/ted-lasso-possible-season-4-afc-richmonds-story-not-over/">cultural phenomenon</a>.&nbsp;Ted Lasso connected with soccer fans and non-fans alike by skillfully combining comedy, emotion, and the sport. The show’s optimism and emotional depth struck a chord with viewers, earning it critical acclaim and multiple awards.</p>

<p>Bokinni, who started as a relatively unknown actor, found his profile skyrocketing due to his role as Isaac McAdoo, the team’s no-nonsense captain. His character arc throughout three seasons has been one of personal growth. As a result, the 32-year-old is more than ready to step back into his role if the opportunity presents itself.</p>



<h2>Uncertainty around fourth season to watch AFC Richmond on Ted Lasso</h2>



<p>While Bokinni has expressed his readiness, the future of&nbsp;Ted Lasso&nbsp;remains unclear. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/no-script-for-ted-lasso-waddingham-waits-on-jason-sudeikis/">Jason Sudeikis</a>, who plays the titular character and is one of the show’s creators, has been tight-lipped about whether there will be more episodes. Sudeikis had previously indicated that the story he wanted to tell would conclude with the third season. Many believed that it was the final chapter of the beloved series.</p>



<p>Behind-the-scenes challenges may also complicate the production of another season. For instance, Phil Dunster, who portrays Jamie Tartt, reportedly has other contractual commitments. This could further affect the timeline for any future installments. These uncertainties have left fans eagerly awaiting official news about the show’s future.</p>



<p>Despite these challenges, fans and cast members alike are <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/keeley-gives-thrilling-update-on-possible-ted-lasso-season-4/">hopeful that there will be more to come</a> from the world of&nbsp;Ted Lasso. The show’s emotional depth and character development have left some storylines that could be further explored.</p>



<p>Many members of the group, including Bokinni, are eager for a comeback, and many actors have shown interest in playing the same parts. For Bokinni,&nbsp;Ted Lasso&nbsp;has been a pivotal experience, transforming both his personal and professional life. “They were there for me,” he says, underscoring his gratitude toward the show’s creators, cast, and crew.</p>



<p>The journey of Isaac McAdoo has been one of Bokinni’s most significant roles to date. His portrayal of the team captain has earned him a strong fan following. From being a hard-nosed leader on the pitch to showing vulnerability off it, McAdoo’s character development mirrors the broader themes of&nbsp;Ted Lasso—growth, camaraderie, and self-acceptance.</p>

Ted Lasso season 4 fans grow with Richmond captain on board

AFC Richmond captain Isaac McAdoo has added his voice to the chorus of those supporting a potential fourth season.

<p>Fans of&nbsp;Ted Lasso&nbsp;may have reason to get excited, as there are growing whispers of the beloved show returning for more seasons. Jason Sudeikis, who stars as the affable Ted Lasso, is reportedly preparing to bring the character back. Actor Lloyd Griffith expressed his hopes for not just one, but multiple future seasons. After the third season wrapped up in May 2023, speculation about the show’s future has been rife. Many fans are eager to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/ted-lasso-possible-season-4-afc-richmonds-story-not-over/">see more of AFC Richmond’s adventures</a>.</p>



<p>The third season of&nbsp;<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/ted-lasso-or-welcome-to-wrexham-which-one-is-better-20230404-WST-426794.html/">Ted Lasso</a>&nbsp;ended on a heartwarming note. Ted returned to the United States after a memorable stint as coach of AFC Richmond in English football. Although the show seemed to have reached a natural conclusion, fans have been clamoring for more. As a result, there has been increasing talk of&nbsp;Ted Lasso&nbsp;making a comeback.</p>



<p>According to reports, Warner Bros. has taken up contract options on three of the show’s main characters. A continuation of the series could be in the works. However, Sudeikis, who is also one of the writers, would <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/different-kind-of-ted-lasso-jason-sudeikis-to-take-step-back/">need to be on board</a> for the revival to happen. <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/08/ted-lasso-season-4-deal-near-brett-goldstein-hannah-waddingham-1236049653/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deadline</a> revealed in August that whether the show returns for a fourth season largely depends on “budget approval and scheduling,” as some of the actors whose options have lapsed may now be involved in other projects.</p>



<p>Should everything fall into place, production for Season 4 could begin as early as 2025. However, the timeline is not set in stone, and there has been no official confirmation about the show’s return just yet.&nbsp;The report added that casting schedules and budget considerations will play a key role in determining if and when the show will start filming again.</p>



<h2>Hopes for future seasons of Ted Lasso</h2>



<p>Several cast members, including <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/no-script-for-ted-lasso-waddingham-waits-on-jason-sudeikis/">Hannah Waddingham (who plays Rebecca Welton)</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/keeley-gives-thrilling-update-on-possible-ted-lasso-season-4/">Juno Temple (who portrays Keeley Jones)</a>, have expressed their excitement about the possibility of the show’s return. Meanwhile, Lloyd Griffith recently spoke to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sundaypost.com/fp/lloyd-griffith/#:~:text=People%20love%20Ted%20Lasso%20because,literally%20and%20metaphorically%20a%20lifesaver" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Sunday Post</a>&nbsp;about his hopes for additional seasons. He plays a sports journalist attending Ted Lasso’s press conferences. “I’m praying for a series four, five, and six because it’s the dreamiest gig,” he shared.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240924_WST_530977_AFC-Richmond-1200x675_a4dc7edc.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="" class="wp-image-531024" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/09/AFC-Richmond-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/09/AFC-Richmond-300x169.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/09/AFC-Richmond-768x432.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/09/AFC-Richmond-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/09/AFC-Richmond.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>



<p>Griffith also reflected on his time working on the set of&nbsp;Ted Lasso. He praised the atmosphere and camaraderie among the cast. “I’m a tiny little part in this huge machine, but everyone was as lovely as they were on screen. We’d done the table read and it was great – Nick Mohammed had everyone in stitches – but I guess no one really knew what success was around the corner.&nbsp;People love&nbsp;Ted Lasso&nbsp;because it’s such a warm, fuzzy show, and being on set was exactly the same. We were lucky that we were able to film during Covid,” he added.</p>



<h2>Show’s global impact and future prospects</h2>



<p>Griffith’s fond recollections of filming reflect the broader appeal of&nbsp;Ted Lasso, which has captured the hearts of viewers worldwide. Since its debut, many have praised the show for its humor, emotional depth, and feel-good storytelling.</p>



<p>Although there is no script for a potential fourth season yet, the stars and fans alike are buzzing with excitement over the possibility. Hannah Waddingham confirmed that while there is no concrete plan in place, the enthusiasm surrounding the idea of a return is palpable. “There has been no official word on when&nbsp;Ted Lasso&nbsp;could air on Apple TV+ once more,” she shared. Yet, the rumors alone have reignited hope for more of the show’s signature blend of humor and heart.</p>

Ted Lasso star drops clues about more seasons amid return talk

Ted Lasso star actor Lloyd Griffith has expressed his hopes for not just one, but multiple future seasons.

<p>Fans of the beloved show Ted Lasso have been eagerly awaiting news about a potential fourth season. Recent updates from Juno Temple, who plays the charismatic Keeley Jones, have sparked renewed excitement. Temple shared a “really exciting” update that has left fans hopeful that their favorite PR executive might return to the screen.</p>



<p>Juno Temple is known for her role as the effervescent Keeley Jones in <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/different-kind-of-ted-lasso-jason-sudeikis-to-take-step-back/">Ted Lasso</a>. She recently spoke with <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/video/juno-temple-ted-lasso-season-4-rumors-thats-really-exciting/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a> about the possibility of reprising her role if the show <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/ted-lasso-possible-season-4-afc-richmonds-story-not-over/">returns for a fourth season</a>. Temple expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “I mean, I hope so, but I don’t know yet. I just, I’ve heard that it sounds like it may be happening, so that’s really exciting.”</p>



<p>While Temple’s contract option hasn’t been officially picked up yet, reports suggest that Warner Bros. is keen to have her involved in any future installments of the show. This development is a promising sign for fans eager to see more of Keeley Jones and the rest of the AFC Richmond crew.</p>



<h2>Warner Bros. eye return of key characters</h2>



<p>As rumors swirl about a potential new season, it has been reported that Warner Bros. has already picked up options on three main characters from the series. These are Brett Goldstein’s Roy Kent, Hannah Waddingham’s Rebecca Welton, and Jeremy Swift’s Leslie Higgins. This move indicates that the studio is serious about bringing Ted Lasso back for more episodes.</p>

<p>Additionally, Nick Mohammed, who plays Nathan Shelley, has also hinted at a possible return. She further fueled speculation that Season 4 could be on the horizon. The participation of these important characters implies that the showrunners are seriously contemplating carrying on with the plot.</p>



<h2>Optimism despite no script yet</h2>



<p>Hannah Waddingham, who portrays the strong and compassionate Rebecca Welton, has also shared her thoughts on the possibility of another season. She made it clear that she’s <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/no-script-for-ted-lasso-waddingham-waits-on-jason-sudeikis/">ready and willing to return</a>; assuming that Jason Sudeikis, the show’s creator and star, is on board.</p>



<p>Waddingham’s affection for the show is evident. “I would always play her, even if she had a walking frame, so I’m the wrong person to ask. I’m in, I’m there. They are some of the greatest loves of my life, that cast. And the writers are so magnificent, you’d be stupid not to, you know? So, yeah, I’m totally there.”</p>



<p>Despite her enthusiasm, Waddingham also acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the future of Ted Lasso. When asked if there was a script in place for Season 4, she candidly responded, “Of course there’s no script!” This admission highlights the tentative nature of the show’s return, with much still up in the air.</p>



<p>As fans wait with bated breath for any official news, the updates from Juno Temple and Hannah Waddingham offer a glimmer of hope. Nothing is official, but Warner Bros.’s interest and the cast’s excitement point to a return to Ted Lasso’s universe as a distinct possibility.</p>

<p>This news has given fans hope, although the series had left the fate of many characters hanging. With the actors on board, many believe it’s only a matter of time before the hit show returns to the small screen.</p>



<h2>Hannah Waddingham: “I’m in, if Jason is in”</h2>



<p>While fans are eager for more&nbsp;Ted Lasso, one of the show’s biggest stars, Hannah Waddingham, has revealed that there’s no script yet for a new season. </p>

<p>The fate of&nbsp;Ted Lasso&nbsp;seems to rest squarely on the shoulders of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/ted-lasso-season-3-a-take-from-an-american-in-manchester-20230328-WST-425527.html">Jason Sudeikis</a>; he is the show’s star, head writer, and co-creator. </p>



<p>The rest of the cast is clearly excited at the prospect of returning. However, Sudeikis, who plays the titular role of Ted, has yet to make a decision about the show’s future. This uncertainty concerns not only the creative aspects of the series but also the personal commitments involved.</p>

<p>He also sympathized with fans who are eager for the show to continue, stating, “As a fan, if someone’s like, ‘Oh, it’s gonna happen again,’ I’ll go nuts. As a partner, I’m down for whatever he wants to do.”</p>

No script for Ted Lasso; Waddingham waits on Jason Sudeikis

Hannah Waddingham eagerly awaits updates from Jason Sudeikis as there in no script for Ted Lasso Season 4, which has yet to be scripted.

No script for Ted Lasso; Waddingham waits on Jason Sudeikis - World Soccer Talk

<p>The news that “Ted Lasso” would reportedly be back for a fourth season has given fans cause to rejoice. Since its launch in August 2020, the series has garnered enormous praise and an unprecedented thirteen Emmy Awards. Co-creator and actor Jason Sudeikis originally planned the show to last for three seasons. It swiftly became the centerpiece program on Apple TV+. Many fans felt that the tale had come to a logical conclusion as Season 3 ended. However, new information suggests there may be <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/ted-lasso-possible-season-4-afc-richmonds-story-not-over/">more to come in the AFC Richmond universe.</a></p>



<p>The news of a fourth season was confirmed on Matt Belloni’s podcast,&nbsp;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-billionaire-battle-for-paramount-and-the/id1612131897?i=1000666700105" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Town</a>. Belloni revealed some intriguing details about what fans can expect moving forward. “I have been told by sources that this is indeed the go time”, he said. That confirms production on the new season will begin. He continued, “They are going to do a fourth season of the show. Jason Sudeikis has blessed it.”</p>



<p>Belloni also noted that the process of assembling the cast and crew for the new season is already underway. “They are going to open a writer’s room. They are going to slowly pick up options on other stars of the show,” <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2024/08/27/ted-lasso-season-4-may-have-less-jason-sudeikis/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">he explained</a>. However, not all the original cast members may be able to return due to scheduling conflicts. For instance, Phil Dunster, who portrays Jamie Tartt, might not be a regular in the upcoming season. There is hope for potential guest appearances.</p>



<h2>Different kind of ‘Ted Lasso’ with limited Jason Sudeikis?</h2>



<p>One of the most significant changes in the upcoming season could be the reduced presence of Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso. Belloni speculated that Sudeikis might not feature as prominently as he did in previous seasons. “My prediction here is that this is going to be a very different Ted Lasso, and I don’t believe Sudeikis is going to be on it very much,” Belloni shared.</p>



<p>He went on to explain that while Sudeikis has agreed to a fourth season, it seems that he did so somewhat reluctantly. “Sources have indicated to me that this was a reluctant green light that he has given. He had a vision for the show. It was three seasons. They executed that vision,” Belloni said. “He is in a place where the story has wrapped up, and to bring him back into the fold would take a little bit of a leap that I don’t think he wants to take.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240828_WST_525149_Ted-Lasso-cast-1200x675_dc7df275.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="" class="wp-image-525181" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/Ted-Lasso-cast-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/Ted-Lasso-cast-300x169.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/Ted-Lasso-cast-768x432.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/Ted-Lasso-cast-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/Ted-Lasso-cast.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>



<p>This shift suggests that the new season may focus more on the ensemble cast rather than centering solely around Ted Lasso. As Belloni noted later in the podcast, “There will be many, many returning cast members. But Sudeikis will be minimized on the show.”</p>



<p>While the details of Season 4 are still emerging, the confirmation of its development has already sparked excitement among fans. The show’s ability to blend humor with heartwarming moments and its focus on the importance of kindness has resonated deeply with audiences worldwide. Even with Sudeikis potentially stepping back, the return of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/la-liga-ventures-into-fiction-with-new-drama-series-a-first-for-the-soccer-world/">“Ted Lasso”</a> promises to bring more of the uplifting storytelling that has made the series a cultural phenomenon.</p>



<h2>A possible spin-off in the making?</h2>



<p>With Sudeikis potentially taking a backseat, the direction of the new season might feel more like a spin-off than a direct continuation of the previous seasons, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/TedLasso/comments/1f2ovei/more_from_matt_belloni_on_the_shows_return_sounds/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Redditors suggest</a>. However, this change could offer exciting new opportunities to delve deeper into the lives of the other characters. That includes Roy Kent (played by Brett Goldstein) and Rebecca Welton (played by Hannah Waddingham). Both of them certainly have more stories to tell.</p>



<p>Season 3 left a lot of room to explore Roy Kent’s character journey and other unresolved issues. As Belloni hinted, “Personally, with Ted’s reduced season 3 role, I could see this working. And who doesn’t want to spend more time with Roy and Rebecca? And would love to spend more time with the team.”</p>

Different kind of 'Ted Lasso': Jason Sudeikis to take step back?

The news that Apple TV+ series "Ted Lasso" would reportedly be back for a fourth season has given fans cause to rejoice.

<p>Netflix has been a part of the American cultural lexicon since the early 2000s. Of course, back then, it mailed out DVDs to your mailbox. When they moved to a full-time streaming service, popularity exploded. And there is plenty of soccer peppered throughout the vast library of Netflix content. Thanks to recent data from the company, we can see which soccer movies, shows, and documentaries are the most popular.</p>



<h2>Soccer programming on Netflix: running the numbers</h2>



<p>Netflix recently released their viewing figures for January to June 2023. Rather than by total views, Netflix sorts its data by hours viewed. And for some programming, that is a lot of <em>hours</em>. The most watched overall program in the first half of 2023? That would be season one of <em>The Night Agent</em>. Viewers totaled 812,100,000 hours of viewership. That works out to almost <em>34 million days</em> of watch time. </p>



<p>For soccer-related programming, the numbers are not so mind-boggling. Soccer on Netflix can range from documentaries to fictional TV shows and movies. Selections from each category are featured among the most-viewed soccer programs on the platform. Note that these viewing figures do not include the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/netflix-reveals-new-docuseries-on-uswnt-world-cup-run-20230718-WST-443956.html">new USWNT documentary</a> <em>Under Pressure</em>, which came out this week.</p>



<p>So, what is the most-viewed soccer title on Netflix? The answer might surprise you.</p>

<p>Yep. Remember that 2006 Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum movie where a high school girl pretends to be her twin brother on the school soccer team? That was the most popular soccer-related movie on Netflix in the first half of 2023. With over nine million hours viewed, it earned the top spot.</p>



<p>But beyond teen rom-coms, there is plenty of more intelligent football programming that was popular, too.</p>



<h5>Content for the soccer fan</h5>



<p>Documentaries on some of the biggest names in the sport like Pelé, Maradona and Figo were big. In addition, profiles on clubs including the acclaimed <em>Sunderland ‘Til I Die</em> plus exposés on Boca Juniors and Juventus made the list too.</p>



<p>Then there were lighter entries, like the 2001 Hong Kong comedy <em>Shaolin Soccer</em> and <em>Holy Goalie</em>, which chronicles a team of monks playing to save their monastery from being turned into a hotel.</p>



<p>Certainly, if you are looking to dive into some soccer programming when there are no games on, there’s no shortage of footy flicks available. Plus, there is more to come. Netflix announced <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/netflix-to-launch-new-behind-the-scenes-soccer-documentary-20230114-WST-415525.html">plans for a documentary</a> about the 2022 World Cup.</p>
