Phil Dunster has addressed speculation about his return as Jamie Tartt in Ted Lasso Season 4. In an interview with People, the actor spoke about the uncertainty surrounding his involvement in the upcoming season of the hit Apple TV+ series, even as fans continue to hope the fan-favorite AFC Richmond striker will appear again.
Jamie Tartt's future remains uncertain
During the conversation, Phil Dunster did not confirm whether he will return for the fourth season. When asked directly about the possibility, the actor responded playfully, saying "Yes. Maybe. Maybe," leaving fans guessing about Jamie Tartt's future in the series. Jamie Tartt has been one of the show's most popular characters, particularly after his storyline evolved from an arrogant striker to a more mature and supportive teammate over the first three seasons. Because of that transformation, many viewers are curious about how his story could continue if the show moves into another chapter. For now, Dunster's comments indicate that nothing about his involvement in the upcoming season has been publicly confirmed.
Dunster explains his set visit
Speculation about Dunster's return grew after fans noticed him around the Ted Lasso set during production. However, the actor clarified the reason for his presence. According to Dunster, he was there because his wife, Eleanor Heydon, directed an episode of the upcoming season. His appearance during filming was connected to supporting her work rather than confirming that he was shooting scenes for the series. Even so, his continued connection to the show has kept fans hopeful that Jamie Tartt could still make some form of appearance. What to expect from season 4
Season 4 of Ted Lasso is moving forward with Jason Sudeikis returning as the optimistic coach Ted Lasso. The next chapter is expected to take the story in a new direction following the events of Season 3. Several core cast members are also expected to return, including Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple and Brendan Hunt. As production progresses, viewers are now waiting to see whether Jamie Tartt will also appear when the beloved series returns.
