While the end of season 3 suggested the adventure was over, Ted Lasso makes its grand return with a fourth season available from August 5th on Apple TV+. Airing since 2020, this dramedy has established itself as one of the platform's flagship series, winning 13 Emmy Awards, including two for Outstanding Comedy Series.
A Kansas coach propelled to England
The series' premise remains deliberately absurd: Ted Lasso, an American football coach from Kansas, is recruited to manage AFC Richmond, an English first division club, despite knowing almost nothing about European football. But far from being a simple sports comedy, the series has transformed season after season into a decidedly human chronicle, focusing more on the relationships between the characters than on the playing field.
In this fourth installment, Ted Lasso returns to Richmond to take on what he presents as his biggest challenge yet: coaching a women's team playing in the second division.
A bet that reassures even those allergic to football
As in previous seasons, the creators of the series assure that football is only a narrative pretext, the series continuing to prioritize the exploration of human relationships, benevolent leadership and personal reconstruction rather than sports tactics per se.
This unexpected season is shaping up to be one of the television events of August for Apple TV+ subscribers, who are curious to discover how the series intends to renew its formula after a conclusion that seemed definitive.
