A wide-ranging new story at The Hollywood Reporter covers the road to Ted Lasso season 4, including encouraging reports on how the new season measures up to what’s come before it.
Ted Lasso season 4 is almost here, and ‘considerably stronger’ than season 3
We’re just two weeks away from Ted Lasso’s highly anticipated return.
Ted Lasso season 4 premieres Wednesday, August 5 with one episode, followed by weekly releases through October 7.
Today The Hollywood Reporter published an extensive behind-the-scenes look into how this new season came about.
If you’re a fan of Ted Lasso, the story is well worth a read for its wealth of inside details. It covers things like:
- Jason Sudeikis’ reluctance to continue the show, and change of heart
- Ideas for Ted Lasso spinoffs that may or may not still happen
- Production troubles on season 3
- Sudeikis and Bill Lawrence’s parting of ways
- Newcomer Jack Burditt’s role in season 4
- and more
Reviews for season 4 have not yet arrived. But the article does include some encouraging tidbits regarding the quality of the new season. Lacey Rose writes:
the general consensus, internally, is that the fourth season is considerably stronger than the third. “I think it has some of that season one magic,” says Goldstein, echoing a sentiment that’s been shared by others, albeit quietly so as not to jinx it.
Obviously this comes with the big disclaimer that it’s based on word of mouth from internal sources associated with the show. But as someone who found season 3 a mixed bag, the article has made me cautiously optimistic about the new season.
