Which actor stars as Ted Lasso and executive-produces season 4?

Jason Sudeikis stars as Ted Lasso and executive-produces season 4. His return was central to Apple TV’s announcement that the series would continue after its third season.

Sudeikis helped develop the television version of Ted Lasso and has played the title character since the Apple TV series began. He also appeared as Ted in earlier NBC Sports promotional videos, where the character was presented as an American coach speaking about English football.

Season 4 represents a continuation of Sudeikis’s dual role as performer and creative leader. The official production information identifies him as both star and executive producer, alongside other producers connected with the series.

Sudeikis is sometimes confused with Brendan Hunt, who plays Coach Beard and is also an executive producer. Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent, is a writer and executive producer for season 4, but he does not play Ted. The title role belongs specifically to Sudeikis.
