One Major Character From Ted Lasso Not Returning For Season 4

As a devoted fan who has followed Ted Lasso since its inception, I must say that the news about Jamie Tartt potentially being a guest star rather than a series regular in Season 4 has left me feeling like I’ve just received an unexpected red card during a crucial match. However, it’s not all doom and gloom.


Since whispers about the fourth season of the critically-acclaimed Apple TV+ comedy show, Ted Lasso, started circulating, fans have been eagerly guessing what the narrative would entail and which characters might return. However, there’s a captivating twist that could leave fans both intrigued and puzzled – it seems that Jamie Tartt, AFC Richmond’s mysterious footballer portrayed by the exceptionally talented Phil Dunster, may not be a main cast member in Season 4.

The announcement was made through a tweet by entertainment insider Matthew Belloni (previously on Twitter). His brief message carried significant meaning. He disclosed that Dunster would not be a regular in the upcoming season, yet hinted that the actor could make a return for one or two guest appearances.

The possible absence of Brendan Dunster from Season 4 of Ted Lasso might be due to scheduling issues and his involvement in various television roles. He’s currently involved in Prime Video’s supernatural thriller, The Devil’s Hour, where he plays Mike Stevens, the estranged husband of the main character. Additionally, he’s managing commitments for Apple TV+’s tech drama, Surface. This series, known for its engaging writing, is set in the competitive world of Silicon Valley. Dunster is slated to appear in Season 2 as a character named Quinn.

To explain why Ted Lasso was renewed for another season, let’s take a step back in history. The show’s co-creator and main actor, Jason Sudeikis, had always planned a three-season narrative. He wanted to conclude the story of an American football coach adapting to the English Premier League on a heartfelt note, which is why by the end of Season 3, Ted Lasso is shown returning home to teach soccer to his son in Kansas. Here, he appears content, relieved, and complete.

Although Sudeikis only partially closed the door on Season 3, it didn’t officially conclude the series. Recently, rumors about the actors’ futures have sparked, and now it seems that the studio’s choice to continue the show beyond its initial plans becomes more clear.

As reported by Deadline, a number of main actors are set to reprise their characters in Season 4 of the series Ted Lasso. Among them are Hannah Waddingham, portraying Rebecca Welton, Brett Goldstein as Roy Kent, and Jeremy Swift in the role of Leslie Higgins. The production team has not yet extended offers to cast members such as Juno Temple (Keeley), Jason Sudeikis, and Brendan Hunt (Coach Brent) who are under SAG-AFTRA contracts.

For three seasons now, Ted Lasso has earned numerous awards and recognition. Ranging from Emmy victories to Golden Globe nominations, this show has solidified its status as an uplifting and endearing drama. With the lasting energy of AFC Richmond, we’re excitedly looking forward to hearing news about Season 4.
