The premise of Ted Lasso season four is simple. Lasso returns to AFC Richmond, but this time it’s to coach the women’s football team. Additional returning cast includes Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift.

Ted Lasso is my favourite football manager of all time. Yes, he’s not real and barely understands the sport, but the man exudes safety and thoughtfulness at levels I can’t ignore. Maybe he’s just my favourite fictional human of all time. One who happens to be a football manager. Perhaps that’s it.

Ted Lasso season one was my favourite of the first three, and may well remain my favourite after this new one. However, I do like that Lasso will be managing a female team this time around. It’s an intriguing enough difference that has me hopeful about how this will all unfold.

It looks like, understandably, many of the characters from the Richmond FC male team will be absent from this new season. But I think I’ll be okay with that, since Lasso and Rebecca, my two favourite characters, are returning.

How are you feeling about the return of Ted Lasso?

Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern and Grant Feely.
