After a lengthy break, the Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso is officially back on the field. The Emmy-winning series will kick off its fourth season on August 5, marking the show’s first new episodes since its 2023 run wrapped.

Ted Lasso returns with Jason Sudeikis once again leading both in front of and behind the camera. This time, Ted heads back to London for an entirely new challenge: managing AFC Richmond’s second-division women’s team. According to the official synopsis, “Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.”

One brief moment in the trailer captures Ted encountering a skeptical fan who greets him with: “Welcome back, Coach. Too bad you’re coaching a bunch of girls… Ya w***er.”

Apple TV had previously shared first-look photos from Season 4 in January. The newly released teaser offers a glimpse of Ted settling back into life in southwest London, along with quick looks at the women’s squad in action and familiar faces returning to the story. Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift are all back, joined by newcomers including Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay and others. The preview also features returning supporting characters and teases a guest appearance from Tracey Ullman.

Season 4 will span 10 episodes, with new installments dropping weekly on Wednesdays and the finale set for October 7. The upcoming chapter follows Apple’s official renewal of the series in March 2025, putting to rest months of uncertainty after the original storyline concluded.

A new trailer has arrived for the upcoming mystery comedy The Sheep Detectives, featuring Hugh Jackman as a shepherd whose death sparks an unusual investigation—led by his own flock of sheep.

The two-and-a-half-minute preview introduces George, a shepherd played by Jackman who enjoys reading detective stories to his sheep before they fall asleep. When George suddenly dies, the animals decide to crack the case themselves. In the trailer, one sheep announces the shocking discovery: “We found George on the grass, and he’s not moving.” Another quickly realizes what happened, adding, “Our shepherd was murdered.” Frustrated with the official investigation, one of the sheep declares, “The policeman is completely hopeless. We need to help him.” The mystery unfolds as the sheep search the farm for clues, all set to the upbeat sounds of The Proclaimers’ hit song “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).”

Emma Thompson appears as George’s lawyer, revealing a major twist—despite living in a trailer, the shepherd was secretly worth $30 million, providing a possible motive for the crime. Alongside Jackman and Thompson, the cast includes Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, Molly Gordon and Hong Chau. The sheep themselves are voiced by a large ensemble of performers, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O’Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby.

The film is based on Three Bags Full, a 2005 novel by Leonie Swann, and is directed by Kyle Balda in his first live-action feature after working on animated hits like ‘Minions: The Rise of Gru.’ The screenplay was written by Craig Mazin, with producers Lindsay Doran, Tim Bevan, and Eric Fellner backing the project.

The Sheep Detectives is scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 8, 2026; see the trailer: HERE.
