Apple is wasting little time following the recent record-breaking “Ted Lasso” season premiere, with production on a fifth season to begin in early 2027.
“Ted Lasso” recently had its fourth season premiere, which drew nearly 300 million U.S. viewing minutes across its first two days. It has officially become the biggest launch for Apple TV to date.
Now, it seems like Apple’s ready to get the ball rolling on season five. According to Sigmund Judge, production is provisionally set to kick off in January.
Judge suggests that season 5 of “Ted Lasso” could return to the small screen as soon as 2027. Of course, that assumes that production hits no snags.
Initially, the series was slated to end after the third season. However, after much negotiation with Jason Sudeikis, who plays the titular Ted Lasso, Apple announced that the series would return for a fourth season.
Recently, Sudeikis said he’d like to see the series get two more seasons. Apple’s own Eddy Cue seems content to keep the series on for the foreseeable future, signing the cast to a three-year contract in 2025.
