The star of Ted Lasso, Toheeb Jimoh, has shared his hopes for the show's highly anticipated fourth season. In an interview with People magazine, Jimoh, who plays Nigerian footballer Sam Obisanya, expressed his desire for a specific storyline to unfold. He humorously suggests a funeral for his character, Sam, but then quickly retracts the idea, emphasizing his genuine wish for Ted Lasso to win a trophy. Jimoh's enthusiasm for a trophy win stems from his belief that it would significantly impact Ted's philosophy, potentially leading to multiple additional seasons. The show's creator, Jason Sudeikis, hinted at a major twist in the fourth season, revealing that Ted will coach a women's team. This follows the conclusion of the original three seasons, where Ted Lasso relocated from Kansas City to Richmond, UK, to manage the fictional football club AFC Richmond. The new season will continue the story, with the first episode set to shoot in Kansas City, picking up where season three left off. Ted Lasso has already garnered critical acclaim, receiving 61 Emmy nominations and winning 13, including lead actor awards for Sudeikis in 2021 and 2022. The release date for season four remains undisclosed, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
