Ted Lasso Cast Visits Kansas City for a Big Fan Party and Season 4 Sneak Peek

Imagine your favorite TV show comes to your town! That’s what happened in Kansas City, Missouri.

What Was the Event?

On Saturday, the people who make the show Ted Lasso came to CPKC Stadium. They had a fun day for fans. Here is what they did, step by step:

1. They held a fan event with special cool stuff (like shirts or hats) you could only buy there.
2. They showed tiny looks at Season 4 (the new episodes) before they come out—these are called previews.
3. They had a watch party tied to the World Cup (that’s a huge soccer tournament where countries play each other). Everyone watched soccer together.

This visit was part of a “press tour stop”—which is just a fancy way of saying the actors traveled to tell people about the show.

Which Stars Came?

Many actors from the show were there! Here are the important names:

• Jason Sudeikis – He plays Ted Lasso and is from Kansas City!
• Juno Temple – An actress on the show.
• Brendan Hunt – Another actor from the show.
• Jeremy Swift – He plays a character named Higgins.
• Abbie Hern – A new actor joining Season 4.

Higgins Gives a Tiny Hint About Season 4

Jeremy Swift, who plays Higgins, told us a little bit about what happens in the new season. He said (without telling big secrets that might get him in trouble with the show’s maker, Apple):

“Yeah, and without Apple killing me with that, because I’m giving any spoilers, I think what this season goes to address, certainly Higgins does, is to try and support women’s football financially and with integrity,”

In kid words: His character wants to help women’s soccer (called football in many places) by giving money and doing it in a fair, honest way.

Important Point: Season 4 will show Higgins trying to help women’s soccer with money and good values!

How Did the Cast Feel About Kansas City?

Juno Temple Brought Her Brother

Juno Temple came with her brother, who loves soccer a lot (a “football fanatic”). She said they went to the stadium and later would watch a big quarterfinal soccer match at Kansas City Stadium. She felt like it was a wonderful dream:

“I’ve brought my little brother here today who is a football fanatic. And so, the fact that I get to be here, bring him to this stadium and then later get to go to a football game. Honestly, I feel like I’m going to wake up and I’m going to be in an institution, straightjacket, and we’ll be like, well, that was a beautiful dream,”

Simple meaning: She was so happy it felt unreal, like a sweet dream she might wake up from.

Jason Sudeikis Talks About Home

Jason Sudeikis is from Kansas City. He said filming scenes there was special in many ways. He also liked seeing Kansas City get attention from the whole world because of the World Cup. He said he enjoys when his phone’s suggestion feed (the “algorithm”) shows him videos about KC without him even looking for them.

He made a funny joke:

“And I imagine in the 22nd century they’ll probably move the White House here. There’ll be a big debate, whether it be on the Kansas side or the Missouri side.”

That means: In the far future, maybe the president’s house could move to KC, but people would argue if it should be in Kansas or Missouri state.

The Silly Kansas vs. Missouri Debate

Kansas City sits near the border of two states: Kansas and Missouri. The actors joked about this on stage.

• Jeremy Swift said he loved working in Kansas and the crew (the behind-the-scenes helpers) were amazing.
• Jason Sudeikis said the stadium is actually in Missouri, and that’s even part of an episode’s story (a “plot point” is just an important detail in the show).

When Can We Watch Season 4?

The new season will be on a service called Apple TV+ (a place to stream shows on your device).

Important Point: Ted Lasso Season 4 begins dropping on Apple TV+ on August 5.
