Spoilers for Ted Lasso Season 4, Episode 2 are ahead! Read with caution, stream the show with an Apple TV subscription, and make sure to catch new episodes as they drop on Wednesdays.
Yes, I’m thrilled Ted Lasso is back on the 2026 TV schedule, and yes, I’m delighted that Ted Lasso is back in AFC Richmond. However, we cannot overlook the fact that a man was hired over a woman to coach AFC Richmond’s women’s team. While I know Ted is a great pick for the job, it’s hard not to overthink why a woman wasn’t even really considered. Thankfully, the show addresses this conundrum head-on and in ways that I really appreciate.
