Before season 4, Apple TV's Ted Lasso has recast one character, hinting at some significant story changes in the show's upcoming chapters.
Ted Lasso is easily one of the best original shows on Apple TV right now, and its satisfying conclusion in season 3 ensured it cemented its legacy. Surprisingly, though, Ted Lasso is all set to return soon with another installment. While only time will tell how Ted Lasso season 4 will turn out, some new updates surrounding it hint at major story changes.
The new update reveals one character has been recast before season 4, paving the way for several story changes.
Ted Lasso Season 4 Recast Ted's Son, Henry
In Ted Lasso's first three seasons, Gus Turner of the Loki fame played Ted's son, Henry. However, for season 4, the show has replaced the actor with Grant Feeley, who is best known for his roles in Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chicago P.D., and Five Nights At Freddy's 2.
Ted Lasso's Recasting Was Necessary For Henry's Bigger Role In Season 4
While Apple TV has not made any official comments about the recast, rumors suggest that the show needed an actor who could play soccer/football. This suggests that in Ted Lasso season 4, Henry will rise up from being a background character and probably take on a more active role in football-centric scenes.
He might either be directly involved in the AFC Richmond youth squad or show up in training sequences that parallel the senior team’s storylines. This, in turn, could subtly cement the show's core theme of growth across generations.
Regardless of what Henry's role will be in Ted Lasso season 4, it will be interesting to see how the show will use his expanded presence to reflect Ted’s evolving legacy.
Ted Lasso Season 4's First-Look Images Hint At A Big Change For Henry
In one of the first images from Ted Lasso season 4, Henry can be seen in a school uniform, sitting with Ted in a pub. This seems to hint that he might be living with Ted in the UK. If this holds true, the Apple TV show's season 4 might focus on Ted Lasso embracing fatherhood full-time during his coaching endeavors, which would perfectly align with the show's focus on balancing personal responsibility with professional commitment.
While only time will tell how Ted Lasso season 4 will ultimately unfold, this subtle new development adds another layer of excitement to the show's return on Apple TV in summer 2026.
