After more than a year of speculation, Apple TV+ has ordered a fourth season of its Emmy-winning comedy Ted Lasso. The pickup comes after co-creator and star Jason Sudeikis closed a deal to reprise his role as the title character, the manager of the fictional AFC Richmond soccer club in London.

Jason Sudeikis' mustache is making a comeback. “ Ted Lasso ,” the dramedy about a fiercely optimistic American soccer coach in London, is set to return for a fourth season, Apple TV+ announced Friday.

As Ted Lasso would sometimes say before moments of triumph: "Barbecue sauce." We're saying it because Jason Sudeikis confirmed that Ted Lasso is coming back for a fourth season, something we kind of knew was potentially in the works.
