Please Apple, Just Tell Us What’s Going On With Ted Lasso’s Future

Summary Apple TV+ has yet to confirm if Ted Lasso season 4 is happening, leaving fans in the dark about the show's future.

Despite a satisfying season 3 finale, the lack of clarity around a potential season 4 is hurting the show's legacy.

While a fourth season is uncertain, the franchise could continue through spinoffs, offering closure to fans and new stories.

Ted Lasso was one of Apple TV's first big hits, but the streaming service still hasn't provided any answers about the franchise's future. Despite its satisfying conclusion, Ted Lasso season 3's ending still leaves questions about whether the franchise will return since Apple refuses to give an update. The show's popularity means if the series is over, it will be because the story has reached its natural end, rather than a cancelation. However, the uncertainty around Ted Lasso season 4 is hurting the show's legacy and Apple must make a definitive statement on whether the show will return or not.

Fans have followed the show closely since it first debuted back in 2020 and have helped make it one of Apple TV's flagship shows, meaning they deserve a proper update. Even if season 3, episode 12, was the finale, it would be much more meaningful if the audience knew the series wasn't coming back. Without knowing if the cast will return or not, it is hard to get emotionally invested in the show's potential ending; therefore, Apple need to offer some sort of clarity about the rumored season 4, to avoid tarnishing an otherwise great show.

Apple TV+ Still Hasn't Revealed The Fate Of Ted Lasso Season 4

The Status Of Ted Lasso Season 4 Is Still Unconfirmed

Close

As it stands, Apple TV+ still hasn't confirmed whether Ted Lasso season 4 is happening or not. There hasn't been any official statement from Apple about the show, and the latest news elsewhere doesn't look promising for its chances of returning. A pre-listing for Ted Lasso: The Complete Series was found on Amazon, indicating that the series may be finished. This update means that Ted Lasso season 4 has a very slim chance of being renewed, which would be disappointing given Apple's silence, and if they had announced the show's conclusion in advance, it wouldn't have been as frustrating.

Fans clearly loved the season 3 finale and it is Ted Lasso's highest-rated episode on IMDb, indicating that it would have been a strong way to close out the series. However, it can't be truly appreciated as a finale without Apple confirming the status of the show's future. Given how much streaming services value numbers, Ted Lasso's viewership record means it is impossible to rule out the chances of it returning, even if season 3 was supposed to be the conclusion. This makes Apple's quietness all the more aggravating and continues to leave Ted Lasso's fate unresolved.

Ted Lasso Can Still Continue Without A Fourth Season

While the main show looks to have reached its conclusion, the update around season 4 doesn't mean the franchise is over. If seasons 1-3 were the complete series, Apple's best move would be to keep the franchise going through a spinoff. This would allow fans to finally enjoy the season 3 finale as a decisive ending, while still getting more of their favorite characters. The franchise could still expand by exploring several options, such as a spinoff around AFC Richmond's women's team, Roy taking over the men's team, or Ted managing a new club.

All of these ideas have been pitched by the show's director, Declan Lowney, indicating there are several ways for the franchise to continue. With Ted Lasso creating so many memorable and popular characters, it makes sense to try and bring them back in some capacity, even if this takes the form of multiple spinoffs. Although there still hasn't been an official announcement that the main show is over, all signs point towards spinoffs being the future of the franchise, which Apple can hopefully provide confirmation on sooner rather than later.

Ted Lasso seasons 1-3 are available to stream on Apple TV+.
