‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4 Adds 6 New Cast Members
Popular Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso is one step closer to its official return. While a significant shift in the storyline is slated for Season 4, there’ll be some familiar faces returning, and others that remain up in the air. However, one thing we do know is that filming is now underway.
As Deadline first reported, Jason Sudeikis, who plays Lasso, will be rejoined by five familiar faces for Season 4. That list includes AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham), player-turned-coach Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein), assistant coach—Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt), Keeley Jones (Juno Temple), and Leslie Higgins (Jeremy Swift).
While the status of other fan favorites remains uncertain, six new additions to the Ted Lasso cast have been revealed.

According to Deadline, the six new cast members will all be series regulars, featuring Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education), Jude Mack (Back In Action), Faye Marsay (Adolescence), Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey (Jurassic World: Dominion) and Abbie Hern (My Lady Jane).
The most significant piece of news comes in the form of one recasting—Lasso's son in the show, Henry. The role will be played by Grant Feely, who portrayed a young Luke Skywalker in the Lucasfilm/Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi.
According to the report, part of the reason behind the Ted Lasso recasting of the role played by Gus Turner over the first three seasons is due to Henry becoming a "skilled soccer player himself."
Regarding the beloved former cast from the first three seasons, there have reportedly already been talks with Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt) and Cristo Fernandez (Danny Rojas) to return in guest roles.
