The fourth season of Ted Lasso has finally premiered on Apple TV, and the new stars of the AFC Richmond women's team are already looking ahead to the future of the series. In an exclusive interview, Faye Marsay, Abbie Hern, and Jude Mack shared their hopes for their characters and the show, discussing promotions, domestic cups, and even a World Cup abroad.
Promotion to the Premier League and the FA Cup are the dreams of the newcomers
Faye Marsay, who plays a key role in the new team, said she hopes to see the team win the FA Cup and achieve the much-desired promotion to the Premier League. Her ambition doesn't stop there, as she jokingly added that she wants to participate in a World Cup abroad with the England national team, even though her character is Welsh. Her colleagues Abbie Hern and Jude Mack agreed on the importance of a holiday for their characters, with Hern speculating about a call-up to Wales and Mack humorously noting that they are already writing the next season themselves.

Jason Sudeikis has already planned a three-season arc for the show's future
Despite initial hesitations, Jason Sudeikis has confirmed he is fully on board with the future of Ted Lasso after season four. Alongside Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly, he has outlined another three-season arc that would take the show through season six. The news comes after many fans wondered if the series would continue beyond the fourth season, as Lawrence is known for crafting three-season arcs. Sudeikis also hinted at the opening of the writers room for season five, although Apple TV has not yet officially announced a renewal.
The new season is already receiving better reviews than the third, and the characters may have surprises in store
With only the first episode aired, it's still early to understand how the storylines will evolve, but Marsay's hopes for the FA Cup could provide a hint about the women's team's journey. In season one, the men's team made an incredible comeback in the Premier League, only to lose narrowly and get relegated, before bouncing back over the next two seasons. If the women's team follows a similar fate, they could become underdogs in a potential season five. With reviews already better than the third, the show seems ready to hit the viewership milestones needed to secure the future planned by the creative team.
