Apple TV listed five returning fan-favorite cast members besides Jason Sudeikis for Ted Lasso season 4.
The five named performers were Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift. They return as Rebecca Welton, Keeley Jones, Roy Kent, Coach Beard, and Higgins respectively.
Jason Sudeikis was announced separately as the star and executive producer, so he is not included in this count. The seven newly announced performers are also excluded because the question asks only about the returning group.
Counting the cast categories carefully avoids a common mistake. The total of five refers to the specific returning names Apple TV highlighted alongside Sudeikis, not every performer who appeared in earlier seasons or every person credited in the wider season 4 production.
