Brett Goldstein hilariously compares the announcement of “Ted Lasso” season 4’s return to reviving a dearly departed cat, while simultaneously questioning whether their creative power has gone too far. Originally, the series wrapped up with season 3, allowing characters to meander off into theoretical sunsets—until Apple TV+ and Goldstein decided to exhume its narrative corpse for another jaunt across the pitch. Production of the show is set to begin this summer.
Brett Goldstein’s Pet Cemetery Revelation
On the NPR Wild Card podcast, Brett Goldstein humorously likens “Ted Lasso” season 4 to the mystical reanimation of a presumed-dead cat. Goldstein’s friend buried what he thought was his late feline companion, shed enough tears to rival an onion-cutting contest, only to find out they buried the wrong cat. He humorously muses about the psychological toll this would have on a person, inevitably planting the seed of belief in lazy resurrections.
Ted Lasso: The Season That Would Not Die
Despite “Ted Lasso” achieving a perfectly wrapped conclusion with season 3, characters like Ted, Roy, and the Richmond team seemed destined for eternal rest—cue dramatic soap opera twist—until Apple TV+ pulled an Uno reverse card. Given its standing as a top-tier show, the decision to resurrect “Ted Lasso” was as unsurprising as finding glitter in a toddler’s backpack.
Revival: More Than Just TV Necromancy?
Goldstein’s tongue-in-cheek comments on the insatiable appetite for revivals do hit home. While “Ted Lasso” fans are eager (like a cat eyeing a laser pointer) for more adventures, Goldstein hopes the motives behind this undead show’s return go beyond just riding its wave of former popularity. The key players are all on board, promising narratives that will hopefully justify digging up this beloved series.
