Meet the AFC Richmond Women’s Soccer Team

Apple TV+ is soon going to present Ted Lasso season 4, and we’re getting new updates about the filming, casting, and hints about the possible storyline every day. We know that Ted is going to coach a women’s football team this season, which means the addition of several new characters and storylines.

It is going to bring a fresh and strong feminine perspective to the show, possibly highlighting some of the struggles of women in sport, besides other trajectories of the show. Let’s have a look at who’s confirmed to be on the shiny and new women’s football team on Ted Lasso so far.

The Brilliant Tanya Reynolds To Join Ted Lasso Season 4

Tanya Reynolds is a British actor who was most recently seen in a series called Decameron on Netflix. Here she played the role of a 14th-century Italian maid who disguises herself as a princess during the times of plague to save her life.

Her underdog character was a brilliant portrayal of what someone can do when faced wth a survival threat. She was the reluctant protagonist who came out a winner despite the treacherous plots and death threats presented to her at every step in this limited miniseries.

She has previously been seen in Sex Education as Lily Iglehart and appeared in The Other Bennet Sister. She is now all set to join the league of the new women’s football team in Ted Lasso.

Known for her impeccable comic timing and unassuming wit, she would be the perfect addition to the new football team and bring her strengths of relatability and quirky charm to the series.

Jude Mack Is Another Name To Join The Ted Lasso Season 4 Bandwagon

Jude Mack is an established British actress, writer, and director. She is well known for her diverse range of work across theatre, television, and film. She is a London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art Alum and well-known for her work in Back in Action and Such Brave Girls.

She will offer an edge to her Ted Lasso character with the experience and skill she brings. We hope to witness emotional depth and realism in her portrayal as one of the players on the women’s football team in Ted Lasso season 4.

Faye Marsay  Boards The Ted Lasso Season 4 Women’s Football Team

Through her brilliant credentials as an actor, a part of huge projects like Game of Thrones, Andor, and most recently Adolescence, Faye Marsay brings her strengths of playing intense and layered roles with precision.

It will be interesting to see her character flourish under coach Ted’s guidance, highlighting her ambition, struggle, and transformation storyline. With a possible time jump and a new team, Ted Lasso season 4 has all the potential to explore novel character arcs and story plots.

Marsay will be a great addition to the mix, and her interaction with the rest of the new team will make for an interesting watch.

Aisling Sharkey To Be A Part Of Ted Lasso Season 4

Previously seen in Jurassic World: Dominion, Aisling Sharkey is another new name confirmed as one of the team members for the women’s football team that Ted Lasso will be seen coaching in season 4.

Her athletic presence and film experience make her well-suited for the role, which is going to require good physicality. We see her as a potential defender or a midfield weapon for her portrayal.

Though the roles aren’t disclosed yet, we know she will make a brilliant addition to the shifting dynamic of the series, adding her screen presence and authenticity to the scenes on and off the pitch.

Abbie Hern is Joining Ted Lasso’s Women’s Team In Season 4

The next confirmed name to join Ted Lasso season 4’s women’s football team is Abbie Hern. She is previously known for her role in My Lady Jane on Prime Video. She plays the role of princess Beth in the series, exuding period drama charm. Besides this, she has also been seen in a cameo in Peaky Blinders.

It will be exciting to see her young energy and charm in the new team dynamic. We are excited to witness how she blends into the team. We see her as a potential midfielder who has the right personality to fuel goals as well as relationships on and off the field.

Rex Hayes Is The New Talent Joining Ted Lasso Season 4

The freshest, newest face on the block, with no listed prior shows and films, Rex Hayes, will be joining the football team that Ted Lasso will be seen coaching in season 4.

Offering a raw authenticity to the portrayal due to being new, she will be a brilliant addition that can grow with the trajectory of the team. It will be interesting to see where Hayes is placed in the team, helping to fully hone the position and make the performance more convincing.

Building a team from scratch was never going to be easy, but as Ted Lasso moves to season 4 with its “biggest challenge yet,” it will be interesting to see how the dynamics play out.

Establishing each character in the minds of people when they are used to seeing men in the Ted Lasso locker room is going to be a challenge. The story, plot, and performances all have to be engaging to keep the interest of the audience intact. It will also be very interesting to see how Ted himself interacts with so much female energy.

While returning characters such as Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift will offer the wave of nostalgic familiarity the audience is looking for, the main focus of Ted Lasso season 4 is going to be the new women’s team. These 6 are the only confirmed new team members for season 4 so far. Another important addition is Grant Feely, who will take on the role of Henry, Ted’s son.

The writers have so far done justice with their female-empowering approach, and it would be interesting to see how the energies of different players gel with each other. The possibilities are endless with opportunity for new emotional arcs in this series. This would be a great way of highlighting women in sports if done right.

We are excited and counting the days till we can witness the magic unfold. What about you?
