Ted Lasso's fourth season reaches its emotional conclusion with Episode 10, titled “Being Alive,” set to premiere on Apple TV on Tuesday, October 6 at 6 p.m. Pacific Time, or 9 p.m. Eastern Time. This finale follows the somber events of Episode 9, which marked the death of Mae Green, the beloved owner of the Crown & Anchor pub, played by Annette Badland. Her passing adds a poignant layer to the finale, which also tackles the future challenges facing the Lady Greyhounds, the women’s football team Ted coaches for the first time this season. The episode is 55 minutes long and promises significant changes ahead.

Originally named “The Departing Lass,” the episode’s official title change to “Being Alive” signals a more uplifting resolution, consistent with the show’s signature optimism. However, the detailed synopsis Apple has provided is minimal, simply stating “Big changes in bunches,” hinting at multiple storylines that need closure, including the uncertain futures of Ted, Rebecca, Keeley, Roy, and the Lady Greyhounds amid looming threats like Zelda Stanton. Whether Season 4’s finale will conclude Ted’s new coaching journey or set up possibilities for continuation is yet to be seen.

Season 4 of Ted Lasso consists of ten episodes, with no additional episodes planned beyond the finale. The show reintroduces familiar cast members like Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso), Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Juno Temple (Keeley Jones), and Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), while also adding new characters such as Tanya Reynolds as Coach Alice Chilton and Faye Marsay as Lizzie. The season represents a kind of reboot focused on Ted’s switch to coaching women’s soccer, which has been met with mixed reactions, though currently the Rotten Tomatoes score has improved to 89% compared to Season 3’s 80%.

As of the finale’s release, Apple TV has not announced renewal for a fifth season. While Season 3 was initially viewed as a conclusion to Ted’s story, the unexpected return for Season 4 opened the door for new directions, particularly with the Lady Greyhounds team. The series’ trajectory remains uncertain, but fans are hopeful that the finale “Being Alive” will provide a satisfying close or foundation for what might come. Those interested can catch the episode on Apple TV, closing another chapter in this popular and heartfelt sports comedy.
