Ted Lasso season 4 is being filmed right now, and with the start of production has come a strong hint that Apple TV+ and Jason Sudeikis are planning for much more than just one final season for Lasso.

Original cast members Juno Temple and Brendan Hunt have closed their deals to return, joining Sudeikis as well as Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein and Jeremy Swift whose options were picked up last August, kicking off the show’s comeback. The sextet are believed to have three-year pacts, corroborating the speculation that Sudeikis has a new three-season arc in mind for Ted Lasso‘s new chapter.
