Ted Lasso is back home in Richmond, with the cast spotted shooting scenes for season four on Monday.
Weeks after filming kicked off in the US for the Apple TV show’s comeback, Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham and their co-stars are now shooting in West London.
Lead stars Jason and Hannah alongside Brendan Hunt and Brett Goldstein shot scenes in familar locations like The Prince’s Head pub as well as Richmond’s celeb-hotspot Scott’s.
Hannah was spotted looking gorgeous in a glam blue dress as she shot scenes in the seafood restaurant before wrapping up in a dry robe in between takes.
Jason meanwhile was filming at a school in Kingston later in the day, sporting Ted’s famous moustache.
Season four, which will air in summer 2026, marks a change of direction for the fictional football manager as he helps coach a second division women’s team.

Speaking to Variety last month, Warner Bros Television boss Channing Dungey, whose company leads production on the series, gave an update on the shoot.
‘Can you believe we are back in production? This was one of those ones where I was like, “I don’t know if we were going to get there,” but we are here now,’ he said. ‘I’m really excited about the new cast.’
In addition to the returning cast of Hannah, Brett, Brendan, Jeremy Swift and Juno Temple, Sex Education star Tanya Reynolds as well as Adolescence’s Faye Marsay have also joined.
Jude Mack, Abbie Hern, Grant Feely, Rex Hayes and Aisling Sharkey have also been confirmed to appear.
Production kicked off on the highly anticipated next installment last month in Kansas City – Jason Sudeikis’s real-life hometown.
The stateside pivot marks the first time Ted Lasso has filmed in the U.S. after three Emmy-winning seasons set across the pond.
The cast’s sighting comes after Apple TV’s head of development, Matt Cherniss, told Deadline he has ‘high hopes for season four of Ted Lasso.’
‘I have high hopes for season four of Ted Lasso, we’re just getting down that road. I don’t know what more can be said about Ted Lasso that hasn’t already been said, and we’re so excited that it’s coming back,’ he said in July.

Cherniss continued: ‘I don’t think I want to say anything about the direction that the show is going, only that I think if you love Ted Lasso you’re gonna love the next season.’
Four months earlier, Jason confirmed there will be a season four of Ted Lasso while appearing on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights.
‘Ted’s coaching a women’s team, so there, that’s it,’ the actor teased.
Lasso, the American football-turned soccer coach played by Jason, had coached fictional Premier League side AFC Richmond in the first three seasons of the show.
In response to Sudeikis’s revelation for season 4, Travis asked if that meant Lasso would be returning to his native US.
‘That’s too many questions,’ Jason playfully replied, before noting he didn’t actually know the answer himself.
Jason added that coming up with a new season was both ‘exciting’ and ‘daunting.’

‘Because we told the story we wanted to tell, but there’s more there and it is a neat group of people to work with,’ he said.
The former SNL star, 49, noted that ‘the universe kept just saying things’ after Hollywood emerged from the actors’ and writers’ strike in 2023.
‘… Whether [it was kind folks at airports, or on the internet, or friends of my folks or just other people in the industry… and I was just like, ‘Ok, I hear you.”
The series’ co-creator, Bill Lawrence, gave life to a possible fourth season of the show in August, when he suggested the decision ultimately lied with Sudeikis.
‘As fans, we’d all kill if it was going again, but everybody would say the same thing, which is: whatever Jason feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it,’ he told Collider.
