Ladies, gentlemen, soccer fans of all ages—the pun-wielding, beloved, mustachioed Ted Lasso has returned. After a three-year hiatus (one that was initially meant to be permanent), the award-winning comedy is back for a once-impossible season four, the first episode of which is available now on Apple TV. (Subsequent episodes will follow every Wednesday until a finale on Oct. 7.)
As a reminder, season 3 ended with our hero’s emotional return to Missouri, where he reunited with his young son, Henry. After successfully elevating the once-derelict AFC Richmond to new heights and transforming the lives of those around him in the process, Ted had, at the time, declared his work across the pond done. Fashionista and entrepreneur Keeley Jones, meanwhile, rounded out her arc by proposing a women’s squad to reformed Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, and ex-team captain Roy Kent, a once emotionless, soon-to-be-washed-up footballer, became coach of the men’s squad.
