Ted Lasso’s season 4 premiere now available to stream on Apple TV
At last, Ted Lasso returns More than three years after Ted Lasso aired its season 3 finale, the show is now back with the first episode of its fourth season now available to stream on Apple TV. The show’s return has been heavily promoted by Apple, with a surprise appearance by Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt as Ted and Coach Beard during the World Cup final, and a look-alike competition set to take place this Thursday, August 6, at the Apple Fifth Avenue Plaza, in New York. If you’ve managed to stay away from any spoilers about the show’s return and would like to keep it that way, I suggest you cut to the chase and watch the first episode right now.
