Apple TV Enlisted A Classic '70s Sitcom To Welcome Ted Lasso Back With Season 4
Ted Lasso is back, starring Jason Sudeikis. And this Apple TV promo touted the show's return in the perfect way, with a classic song from a 1970s sitcom.
Apple TV has enlisted the classic 1970s sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter to celebrate the return of Ted Lasso for Season 4. A promo for the upcoming season set clips to a remix of the show's theme tune, Welcome Back by John Sebastian. Welcome Back, Kotter followed teacher Gabe Kotter, played by Gabe Kaplan, as he returned to his old high school to teach the students he once struggled with.
The series featured John Travolta as Vinnie Barbarino, a role that launched his acting career. When the return of Ted Lasso for Season 4 was announced, fans were surprised, as the gap between Seasons 3 and 4 was the longest since the show's inception and Season 3 was presumed to be the final season. Season 4 brings Ted back to the U.S. to coach the women's team of AFC Richmond, alongside returning characters Rebecca Welton and Roy Kent.
While Apple TV has not confirmed a Season 5, Sudeikis envisions Ted Lasso's return as the beginning of a new three-season arc.
