The Ted Lasso The season 3 finale was put in a difficult position because it was treated as a series finale, with many of the main story arcs coming to an end, while referring to Apple TV+ as a season finale. The story of the titular Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) has a most satisfying conclusion, but there is still room for a direct continuation Or spinoff series, especially with some setup and lack of resolution in the season 3 finale.

Will Ted and his wife get back together?
There were promising signs in Season 3
Ted originally left Kansas and went to England, largely because of the difficulties he and his wife, Michelle (Andrea Anders), had. Despite no longer being together and being on different continents for most of the series, Ted’s personal growth and other promising factors made it seem like he and Michelle might be able to rekindle their relationship.. The possibility was all the more likely when Ted left England and returned to Kansas, where they will continue to raise their son Henry (Gus Turner) together.
Ted has worked through the issues that led to their marital problems in the first place, and by returning to Kansas, he’s shown that he prioritizes his family above all else, which all bodes well for Ted and Michelle officially getting back together in Ted Lasso Season 4.
It is ambiguous whether Ted and Michelle will get back together, or if they will simply co-parent Henry and continue to lead separate personal lives. Michelle’s boyfriend, Dr. James (Mike O’Gorman) was no longer a part of her life. Ted worked through the issues that led to their marital problems in the first place, and by returning to Kansas, he showed that He prioritizes his family above all else, which bodes well for Ted and Michelle officially getting back together in Ted Lasso Season 4.

Will AFC Richmond get a women’s team?
Rebecca & Keeley are already planning it
One of the biggest teas in the US Ted Lasso Season 3 finale was when Rebecca and Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) talked about starting an AFC Richmond women’s team. This has a lot of potential and could be followed up on Ted Lasso Season 4 or even in its own spinoff series. Waddingham and Swift being two of the three actors to get their contracts up for season 4 means the women’s team storyline will likely continue there instead of a separate spinoff.

Rebecca and Kiley’s friendship was one of the best elements of Ted LassoAnd is a relationship that could easily remain central to the overarching story as they work on developing an AFC Richmond Women’s team. Focusing on the new women’s team could be a way of season 4 distinguishing itself from previous seasons as the series enters a new era. Rebecca, Kiley and Leslie have a wealth of experience, drive and connections that will make the women’s team a reality.

How will AFC Richmond fare without Ted?
He was the glue that held the team together
Despite Ted’s departure, AFC Richmond was left in good hands with Roy, coach Bird (Brendan Hunt), and Nathan Shelley (Nick Mohammed) coaching the team. The team still includes many of its best players, including Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster), Isaac McAdoo (Kola Bokinni), and Colin Hughes (Billy Harris). Although they are a strong team on many fronts, Ted was the glue that held the team together and inspired them to achieve the seemingly impossible.
Season 4 may reveal how the team fares without Ted, as there will certainly be obstacles they need to navigate without him. One challenge may be among the coaching staff, viz Roy, Coach Bird, and Knight are all close to Ted in different ways, but don’t share the same depth of connection and camaraderie with each other. Their dynamic as a trio needs further development, with season 4 exploring their relationship and how the team confronts its highs and lows without Ted.

Does Keeley get back together with Roy or Jaime?
She didn’t choose any of them in the season 3 finale
The love triangle between Keeley, Roy and Jamie Ended with Kiley choosing herself instead of choosing Roy or Jamie. Keeley can continue to stand by this choice, instead focusing more on her friendship with Rebecca and launching the AFC Richmond women’s team. Nevertheless, Keeley, Roy and Jamie all still being in the series makes it likely that the characters’ past relationships will be revisited and potentially rekindled as well.
Roy being the manager of the AFC Richmond men’s team and Jamie being one of his star players provides professional reasons for the characters to cross paths with each other, which can lead to more personal development. There has been speculation about Killy, Roy and Jamie becoming a troupe, which could be explored in season 4. More romance between Killy and Roy or Jamie is a possibility, as long as all three characters remain central to the story.

Will Ted ever return to England and to AFC Richmond?
Ted Lasso Season 4 would be funny without Ted
There was a sense of finality when Ted left England and AFC Richmond behind, which was further emphasized by his absence at Coach Bird’s wedding. Ted’s decision to leave and return home to his family felt earned, but it would also be strange if he never returned To at least visit his close friends. Season 4 may address this by revealing whether Ted ever returns to England, or if he ever has any desire to rejoin AFC Richmond.
Rejoining the team seems highly unlikely and could potentially undermine the culmination of his arc in season 3. A simple visit to England is more feasible and would be an effective way to mostly focus on new storylines and still keep Ted as part of the series. Ted seeing how things have changed since he left can help convey changes that have occurred in certain characters’ lives since they were last seen in season 3, helping to bridge the two seasons.

What will Trent do after his book’s success?
Trent should still be part of the series
While Trent Crimm (James Lance) doesn’t need to be in Ted Lasso Season 4, not including him would be a disservice to his character. Trent’s journey from being an abrasive critic to an inspired supporter chronicled the team’s story in his book, The Richmond Roadis one of Ted Lassos best character arcs. Now that The Richmond Road is out and a bestseller, It’s time for Trent to embark on a new personal and professional adventure.
Without asking questions at press conferences or shadowing the team for his book, including him on a regular basis in season 4 might be challenging, but he should definitely make an appearance or be referenced given his importance in previous seasons. He could write a piece that would be beneficial to the creation of AFC Richmond’s women’s team. It would also be nice to see him still friends with Colin after Trent supported him a great deal in season 3.
