Page Six • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Jason Sudeikis, who earned $1 million per episode for Season 3 of "Ted Lasso," initially declined to return for Season 4, feeling the story had concluded with Ted returning home to be with his son.
- Sudeikis later changed his mind, drawn to the positive nature of his character and the joy of portraying someone who sees the best in people.
- Season 4 will feature Ted coaching a women's football team, with most main cast members returning except Phil Dunster, who will no longer be a series regular due to scheduling conflicts.
- The cast and creators were eager to continue the show, but Sudeikis was hesitant partly due to personal issues, including his public split and custody battle with Olivia Wilde.
- "Ted Lasso" Season 4 is set to premiere on August 5 on Apple TV, with co-creator Brendan Hunt open to extending the series for additional seasons.
