Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment had previously released the first three seasons of the Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso on Blu-ray, but now the series makes its way onto 4K UHD. The series originally ran for three seasons, from 2020-2023, and tells a complete story with these characters. However, it was announced in March 2025 that the show would be returning for a fourth season.

Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham, Game of Thrones, The Fall Guy) has just gone through a bitter divorce with her cheating husband Rupert (Anthony Head, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and ended up as owner of British football club AFC Richmond in the settlement. She wants to get back at her ex-husband by burning his beloved football club to the ground, and to do so, she’s hired an American as the club’s new manager. Theodore “Ted” Lasso (Jason Sudeikis, SNL) is an American college football coach from Wichita, Kansas, who has never stepped foot in England, and doesn’t know anything about soccer. But he has endless supply of compassion, optimism, and folksy colloquialisms that tend to win people over. He’s joined on this journey across the pond by longtime friend Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt). They are unaware that Rebecca hired them to try to sabotage the team, and take on this task of coaching the football club with genuine sincerity. It’s going to take a lot to convince the players and press, such as skeptical reporter Trent Crimm (James Lance, Teachers, The Book Group) that Ted is the right man for the job. However, as hard as they might try to deny it, everyone eventually falls victim to Ted’s folksy charm…even Rebecca.

Some of the other regular and recurring characters include Rebecca’s reluctant partner in crime/Director of Football Operations, Leslie Higgins (Jeremy Swift), and model Keeley Jones (Juno Temple, Fargo), who starts off as the girlfriend of one of the players, but soon becomes the club’s manager of marketing and public relations. The team includes nervous kit man-turned assistant coach Nathan “Nate” Shelley (Nick Mohammed, Intelligence, Renegade Nell); and players Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein), the foul-mouthed team captain who’s nearing the end of his football career; Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster), the team’s young, egotistical top-scorer; Samuel “Sam” Obisanya (Toheeb Jimoh), a young right back defender out of the Nigerian league; Dani Rojas (Cristo Fernández), a young Mexican forward who joins the team after recovering from an injury; vice-captain/center-back Isaac McAdoo (Kola Bokinni); and Welsh left winger Colin Hughes (Billy Harris).

The series comes from executive producer Bill Lawrence (Scrubs, Cougar Town, Spin City, Shrinking) and finds this wonderful blend of humor and heart. One can’t help but fall in love with Ted’s folksy charm and always upbeat attitude. Star Jason Sudeikis really embodies and shines in this role. While Ted appears to be this always-optimistic and happy character, we learn early on that he’s having some issues in his marriage, and that his wife and son have chosen to remain in America as he takes on this new job. While he deals with this in private, he still maintains his positive attitude for the team.

Sudeikis is surrounded by an amazing and hilarious ensemble, each of whom has too many standout moments to list here. Brett Goldstein’s always-angry and cursing Roy Kent constantly steals the scene, Juno Temple’s Keeley is so charming, it’s fun to see Hannah Waddingham’s Rebecca’s initial plotting against Ted turn into a genuine friendship, Brendan Hunt’s Coach Beard just gets weirder and weirder as the show goes along, and Nick Mohammed’s and Jeremy Swift’s constantly-nervous characters always bring the humor. Despite being a primarily half-hour comedy (episodes start to grow a lot longer in the third season), the story is heavily serialized. Over the course of the three seasons, each of these characters is given interesting storylines and a chance to grow or redeem themselves. One of the biggest of these shifts comes for the Nate character in the show’s third season.

The serialized nature of the series makes for a great binge as the events of one episode lead directly into the next. However, there are also some more unique somewhat-standalone episodes in season 2, such as a wonderful Christmas episode, “Carol of the Bells”, that could serve as its own standalone Christmas special, and a very odd Coach Beard-centric episode, “Beard After Hours”. While the show ultimately does come to a satisfying story conclusion, the third season struggles a bit at the beginning. The third season also has some episodes that extend to over an hour, which sometimes feel a bit too long after you’re initially used to runtimes that are half that. The series has since been picked up for a fourth season, but these first three seasons, collected as “The Richmond Way”, feel like a complete story and follow a specific group of characters. The fourth season will likely feel more like a reboot of sorts, bringing back some characters but ultimately following a different team.

The only way to stream Ted Lasso digitally is still via Apple TV+. Warner Bros. previously released the series on Blu-ray and DVD. However, now the series has made its way onto physical media in 4K for the first time. We previously reviewed the Blu-ray release, but now received this new 4K edition for review. The audio is the same as the previous release, providing clear dialogue and an immersive experience—which is especially noticeable with the roar of the crowd during the game sequences. The 4K picture quality looks stunning, with a crisp, clean picture and excellent level of detail throughout, particularly in close-ups of faces. The Dolby Vision color grading gives the show a bold, rich color palette, and a slightly darker, more cinematic look. This series never looked so good!

The three seasons are split across 8 discs, with 2 for the first season, and 3 each for the second and third seasons. Each season is packed into a separate 4K keepcase, which are placed inside an outer slip box. Unfortunately, like the previous disc release, this set does not include any bonus material, including the show’s 4-minute claymation special from 2021, “Ted Lasso: The Missing Christmas Mustache”.

Final Thoughts:

Ted Lasso is such a delightful and upbeat series that does an excellent job of making the audience laugh while also taking its characters on a heartfelt journey. It features an amazing and hilarious ensemble cast, led by Jason Sudeikis as the ever-charming and folksy titular character. Warner Bros.’s 4K release looks and sounds amazing and offers a noticeable improvement over the previous Blu-ray release. Unfortunately, like the previous disc release, it doesn’t include any bonus material. That said, it is wonderful to see this series available to own in stunning 4K, and not just locked behind a streaming service paywall. The release comes highly recommended for any fan of the series, or anyone looking for a fun, uplifting series that perfectly blends humor with heart, and with a story and character arcs that come to a solid conclusion over the course of the three seasons.
