Declan Lowney to Direct Ted Lasso Season 4 Premiere, Coming to Apple TV+ Summer 2026

Merman director Declan Lowney is set to helm the opening episode of Ted Lasso Season 4, the long-awaited return of Apple TV+’s beloved football comedy. The fourth season is confirmed for a summer 2026 premiere on Apple TV+, with Hannah Waddingham suggesting an August release at a recent industry event.

Lowney has been a key creative force on Ted Lasso since its earliest days, directing eight episodes across the series’ run including the acclaimed Season 3 finale, for which he received a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series. He also served as Supervising Producer across all 12 episodes of Season 2. Being entrusted with the Season 4 premiere underscores his central role in shaping the show’s voice.
