The eighth episode of Ted Lasso’s fourth season, titled “Follow the Anger,” premieres on Apple TV on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 6 p.m. Pacific Time (9 p.m. Eastern Time). Although officially dated for Wednesday, September 23, Apple typically releases new episodes the evening before. The 51-minute episode directed by Erica Dunton and written by Jamie Lee and Brett Goldstein continues the story as the Lady Greyhounds encounter a tough setback and characters Roy and Keeley reflect on past moments at Chelsea’s Wall of Legends.
Season 4 of Ted Lasso comprises a total of ten episodes, making this the penultimate stretch with just three episodes remaining after this week’s release. The season’s finale is slated for October 7, 2026. The show has undergone notable changes with a time jump and Ted moving to coach a women's soccer team, introducing fresh challenges and new characters to the series. Fans can expect appearances by returning cast members such as Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, and several newcomers including Faye Marsay, known for her roles in Game of Thrones and Andor.
This season has seen a shift in tone and reception compared to earlier ones. While the original season captured lightning in a bottle with its uplifting and hopeful narrative, subsequent seasons experimented with deeper character flaws and ensemble plotting, sometimes diluting the show’s original charm. Season 4 serves as a quasi-reboot but remains the lowest scoring season with audiences at 72% and second-lowest with critics at 88%, reflecting mixed feelings about the show’s new direction.
For those still invested in Ted Lasso and its characters, Season 4 offers fresh storylines and new faces alongside the familiar warmth and wit. Episode 8’s thematic focus on overcoming setbacks hints at continued emotional beats and character development, especially for Roy and Keeley. As the season edges toward its conclusion, viewers can catch up on all episodes with Apple TV, where the complete series continues to be a notable part of their streaming content.
