Veteran comedian and actress Tracey Ullman is set to join the cast of Apple TV+'s hit series ‘Ted Lasso’ for its upcoming fourth season. Ullman is reportedly slated to portray the estranged mother of Jason Sudeikis's titular character, AFC Richmond coach Ted Lasso.
Details regarding Ullman's role and the extent of her involvement in the season remain scarce.
