Kansas City is Jason Sudeikis’s hometown connection during Ted Lasso season 4 production.
Sudeikis was born in Fairfax, Virginia, but grew up in the Kansas City area, particularly in Overland Park, Kansas. That connection helped make Kansas City a meaningful early production location for the fourth season, even though the series’ fictional football world is based in England.
Kansas City and London therefore play different roles: Kansas City is tied to the star and the production, while London is tied to the show’s main setting and later filming. Chicago and St. Louis are separate American cities and are not the hometown connection identified in the season 4 production coverage.
