Ted Lasso: Waddingham & Temple Hype Season 4 in Apple TV/MLS Promo

In a new Apple TV promo, Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple preview Ted Lasso Season 4 and hype the return of MLS to the streaming service.



Article Summary

  • Apple TV’s new promo has Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple teasing Ted Lasso Season 4 ahead of its August 5 debut.
  • The spot doubles as an MLS push, but Ted Lasso fans will zero in on the Season 4 footage, fueling trailer hopes.
  • Hannah Waddingham says Ted Lasso still had more story to tell, despite Season 3 feeling like a proper ending.
  • Waddingham also opens up about Jason Sudeikis’ last-minute scene tweaks and Rebecca’s bond with Ted in Season 4.

Even with the World Cup nearing its end, that doesn't mean the soccer/football action is wrapping up for the summer – far from it! Earlier today, Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple offered a reminder that Apple TV is welcoming back Major League Soccer (MLS) beginning tonight – but that wasn't really what we were interested in. Our radars were focused on the clips from the fourth season of Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly's Ted Lasso that were included in the promo video (which you can check out below). Here's hoping that's a harbinger for an official trailer…

Here's a look at Waddingham and Temple getting the word out about the return of MLS for Apple TV, and the return of Ted Lasso for a fourth season beginning August 5th:

Ted Lasso: Hannah Waddingham On Season 4 Return

During a recent profile interview with Variety, Hannah Waddingham shared that, as much as the Season 3 finale gave the steaming series a proper ending, she felt there was still more to be told. "Because that's too much of a cliffhanger to be had, but I'm so glad it has," she said, adding that never playing Rebecca would've felt "like losing a pal."

As for how filming went, Waddingham made it clear that some things have changed between her and Sudeikis. "There's always going to be a bit of give-and-take within a scene, because of the nature of how Sudeikis works. He hears it in the room, and then we tweak. With that boy, you've got to roll with the punches. He and I have an ongoing love-hate relationship that he changes it last minute," she added.

Noting that she's "blessed" to be part of "this AFC Richmond family," Waddingham loves the show's positivity and credits it as a major factor in its success. That said, it doesn't sound like she's stanning Ted and Rebecca nearly as much as the fans have been over the past three seasons. "I love that we buck against the norm. And they are undoubtedly soulmates, but that can mean a myriad of things," Waddingham said of their platonic relationship. "I love all the relationships in it."

In season four, Ted (Sudeikis) returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women's football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would. The series stars Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift (with Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsey, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely also joining the cast).

Jack Burditt (Nobody Wants This, 30 Rock) joins the series as an executive producer. Sudeikis will executive produce in addition to starring. Hunt, Kelly, Toheeb Jimoh, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, and Bill Wrubel will also executive produce. Brent Goldstein is attached to write and executive produce along with Leanne Bowen. Stemming from Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television, the season will also see Lawrence executive-produce under his Doozer Productions banner alongside Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer. Sara Walker and Phoebe Walsh are writers and producers on the fourth season, with Sasha Garron co-producing. Julia Lindon will also write for the season, with Dylan Marron serving as story editor.
