Why Is ‘Ted Lasso’ Suddenly Obsessed With Shapes and Colors? Season Takes a Surprising Turn
What if the next big binge-worthy series didn’t just tug at your heartstrings—but also reminded you to eat your carrots and explained why pentagons aren’t just fancy hexagons? Imagine my shock (and, let’s be honest, delight) when I heard Jason Sudeikis reveal that Ted Lasso’s fourth season is pivoting from Premier League pep-talks to preschool pedagogy . Shapes and colors, musical numbers, and the endearing blunders of a mustachioed optimist? I’m half-tempted to grab some construction paper and build a diorama in Ted’s honor! Maybe this is what happens when a fandom craves positivity so intensely, the only thing left is—yes—learning the difference between ROYGBIV and, oh, hexadecagons . Are longtime fans ready to swap football drama for cheerful choruses about rectangles, or will Twitter finally combust under the weight of a phonics-related cliffhanger? Either way, I can’t help but smile at this bizarre, delightful twist . LEARN MORE

NEW YORK—Claiming that fans would love clapping and dancing along with their favorite characters,Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis confirmed that the show’s fourth season, which begins Wednesday, would teach viewers about shapes and colors. “At this point in the story, Ted’s positive attitude and heart-warming antics have taught the audience that it’s important to be yourself, and now we’re building on that by introducing basic geometric shapes,” said Sudeikis, who explained that going in this direction “just felt natural” given the Apple TV series’ fan base. “Season four opens up with Ted back in the United States, singing new original songs about ROYGBIV, and saying ‘Aw, shucks’ when he mixes up pentagons and polygons. But don’t worry—his old pals from the Premier League all stop by and join in on the fun with their own lessons. We’ll also hear from Coach Beard, who appears during the midpoint of each episode to shout, ‘Hey, friends, it’s healthy snack time. Don’t forget to chew!’” At press time, Ted Lasso fans were flocking to social media to complain that the series should have ended in its third season with phonics.
