After a three-year break, heartwarming Apple TV series Ted Lasso is back. While the show initially hinted that the third season would be its last, the powers that be decided that the story is not over. We’re not complaining one bit.
The new episodes see the relentlessly positive coach back at Richmond, so the show definitely has the potential to keep going. Does that mean another installment is happening? Here’s everything we know so far.
Ted Lasso Season 5 Release Date
At the time of writing, Apple TV hasn’t announced whether Ted Lasso season 5 is in the works. That said, only one season 4 episode dropped so far. There is still time.
The streamer seems more than willing to go all in on the popular series, and co-creator/star Jason Sudeikis hinted in a recent interview that he has another three-season plan in mind.
If all goes well, season 5 could arrive in 2027.

What Could Happen in Ted Lasso Season 5?
Ted Lasso revolves around the titular character, an upbeat American college football coach unexpectedly hired to manage AFC Richmond, a struggling Premier League club. Armed with relentless optimism, he gradually wins over everyone. The show mixes humour with emotional storytelling, while also acting as a strong reminder that kindness reigns supreme.
If you need a quick refresher, season 3 ended on a pretty definite note. Ted decided to return to Kansas to be a more present father to his son. Roy took over as Richmond’s new head coach, Nate rejoined the club, Beard got married, and Rebecca reconnected with the Dutch pilot she met earlier in the season. Finally, Keeley pitched the idea of launching an AFC Richmond women’s team.
That idea fuels the show’s new chapter. Season 4 picks up with Rebecca, Keeley, and Higgins visiting Ted in the US. They persuade him to return to England to coach the Lady Greyhounds, kickstarting a new era for the character. Whether he’s as successful as he was in building up the men’s team remains to be seen.
As for Ted Lasso season 5, it’s a bit early to speculate. We’re guessing the show will continue in the same vein, following the characters as they take on fresh challenges. Until then, you can catch new season 4 episodes every Wednesday through October 7 on Apple TV.
