Is Ted Lasso Returning for Season 5? Brendan Hunt Says…

Warning: This story contains major spoilers for Ted Lasso season 4, episode 10

For Greyhounds hoping for more Ted Lasso, keep believing.

After the Apple TV comedy’s fourth season concluded Oct. 7, executive producer, writer and co-creator Brendan Hunt—who also stars as Coach Willis Beard—reacted to speculation that a season five renewal is in the near future.

“That’s news to me,” Hunt told Deadline in an interview published Oct. 7. “I certainly hope it happens, and I’m optimistic, but yeah, haven’t heard anything official yet. It would be nice though.”

The Emmy winner also touched on how fellow co-showrunner and titular star Jason Sudeikis is feeling about a season five. After all, Ted Lasso was initially planned as a three-season arc, before it was renewed for season four.

“He plays the cards close to his chest,” Hunt explained to Variety in an interview published Oct. 7. “I’m not privy to whatever poker game that I hope is happening between the powers that be. I think we’ve always basically hoped we were coming back for more than one, but if it ends up just being one, then OK, that’s fine.
