Major Role Being Recast in Ted Lasso Season 4

Why Ted’s Son Is Getting a New Face in Season 4

Guess what? Big changes are coming to the world of Ted Lasso. After three hilarious and heartwarming seasons, the hit TV series is all set to make a return.

The upcoming fourth season comes with a surprising twist. One familiar character will look a little different this time around, adding depth and intrigue to the storyline.

Overview of Seasons 1-3

Ted Lasso, over the course of its first three seasons, revolves around an American football coach who’s hired to manage the English soccer team at AFC Richmond. The series follows Ted’s unconventional coaching methods.

It also delves into his challenges and the evolving dynamics within the team. The show is left for its heartfelt storytelling and humor.

Renewal for Season 4

Apple TV+ officially announced the renewal of its acclaimed series, Ted Lasso, for a fourth season in March 2025. Jason Sudeikis will be reprising his role as Ted Lasso.

He’ll also be once again filling the shoes of an executive director. The upcoming season has generated quite the buzz, with new storylines on their way.

Main Cast Returns

Besides Jason Sudeikis, the upcoming season of Ted Lasso is going to have Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton, along with Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent.

The fourth season is also expected to have Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins. The inclusion of these characters ensures that the core dynamics and relationships around which the show revolves continue to develop.

Role of Henry in Previous Seasons

Henry, throughout the first three seasons, remained in Kansas with his mother. It should be noted that the character’s interaction with his father, Ted, in the series was quite limited.

However, this, of course, changed as Henry ended up playing a huge role at the end of the third season. His involvement within the series is only expected to increase with Ted and Henry being seen alongside each other.

Recasting Announcement

In March 2025, it was announced that Ted Lasso would recast the role of Henry, Ted’s 12-year-old son, for season 4. Gus Turner, whose involvement in the series was kept to a minimum, will be replaced.

The recasting decision has been made given the fact that Henry will be established as an actor with proficient soccer abilities. Turner has been invited to the audition, so who knows who might be reprising his role, but nothing is confirmed as of yet.

Reason for Recasting

Henry Lasso will be seen playing the role of someone proficient in soccer. The upcoming narrative in the fourth season requires someone more active and physically engaged.

Hence, the casting team is looking for a 12-year-old with notable soccer skills. The auditions will soon start for this role, with fans anticipating the upcoming selection.

Gus Turner’s Involvement

Gus Turner has been invited to the audition for the character, which means that the production team is still looking forward to assessing him. They’ll be seeing whether Turner can meet Henry’s new requirements.

It should be noted that the recast is planned. However, Turner’s audition does leave the door open for his potential return.

Impact on Storyline

Henry’s role as a skilled soccer player in season 4 will make sure his relationship with Ted gets explored to a greater degree. This development sheds light on Henry’s passion for soccer.

His increased involvement will address themes such as mentorship, father-son bonding, and the challenges of balancing personal and professional lives. Ted’s return to Kansas with Henry’s increased involvement is bound to shift the dynamics for the fourth season.

Production Timeline

Production for season 4 of Ted Lasso is expected to begin in early 2025. Initially, reports indicated that the series would begin on January 6, 2025.

However, according to the most recent information, the filming is now expected to begin in the spring. As of now, no official premiere date has been announced.

Filming Locations

In season 4, Ted Lasso will be seen returning to Kansas. This means he’ll once again be reconnecting with his roots.

To portray an authentic depiction of this location shift, the production is expected to take place in Kansas City. This location will provide a contrast compared to the team’s previous London backdrop.

New Characters Introduction

In season 4, Ted Lasso will be seen coaching ACF Richmond’s women’s soccer team. This transition is expected to introduce a host of new characters.

The upcoming season will see a stream of female athletes with diverse backgrounds and personalities. Characters from Ted’s past are also going to make a return, further expanding on the series’ existing storyline.

Cast Negotiations

As of April 2025, several key cast members are in various stages of negotiation. However, no official confirmations have been made regarding the return of all of the previous cast members.

All episodes of Ted Lasso are available exclusively on Apple TV+. The upcoming season 4 will also be available on the same platform.
