Jason Sudeikis said he hopes “Ted Lasso” can continue for a fifth season, though he made clear that nothing has been confirmed by Apple TV and no writers’ room has begun. Sudeikis discussed the show’s future during an appearance on Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, just weeks after the “Ted Lasso” season 4 finale aired earlier in October 2026.
“I would like to,” Sudeikis said when asked about returning for more seasons, before adding a key caveat: “Yeah, I just don’t know.”
Sudeikis’s Comments On ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 5 Hopes
Sudeikis told Fragoso that his desire to keep the show going does not mean a new season is in motion. “We haven’t started a writers’ room or anything like that,” he said, drawing a clear line between his personal wishes and any production reality.
The actor added that he would assume Apple would move forward with another season if the core cast wanted to return, though that statement reflects his own expectation rather than anything the streamer has said publicly.
What It Means For Fans
Sudeikis’s remarks give fans a window into his mindset after the season 4 finale, but they stop short of promising more episodes. As of Oct. 13, 2026, Apple TV had not officially renewed “Ted Lasso” for a fifth season, according to Decider. Season 4 ran 10 episodes, matching the structure of the show’s earlier runs.
Until Apple makes a formal announcement, any talk of a season 5 or season 6 remains speculative, tied only to Sudeikis’s stated hopes rather than a confirmed plan.
Background
Sudeikis has spoken before about what “Ted Lasso” has meant to him personally, previously saying the show helped him through a period involving thoughts of self-harm, according to Variety. That history adds context to why he has continued to voice interest in extending the series even without a green light from the network.
What’s Next
No writers’ room has been assembled and Apple TV has issued no statement on a fifth season as of the most recent reporting. Any next step would depend on an official announcement from Apple, which has not set a timeline according to available reporting.
