She will be joined by returning cast members Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift. New additions to the cast include Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely.
Jason Sudeikis, who co-created the series with Bill Lawrence, confirmed his return for Season 4 during an appearance on the New Heights podcast with NFL players Travis and Jason Kelce.

This season will introduce Jack Burditt as an executive producer under a new overall deal with Apple TV. Sudeikis will star and serve as an executive producer alongside Hunt, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, and Bill Wrubel. Goldstein will also hold writing and executive producing roles, alongside Leann Bowen. Sarah Walker and Phoebe Walsh are on board as writers and producers, while Sasha Garron co-produces. Julia Lindon will contribute writing for Season 4, with Dylan Marron acting as story editor. Lawrence will serve as an executive producer through his Doozer Productions, in partnership with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television, a division of NBCUniversal. Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer of Doozer will also be executive producers.
The series was developed by Sudeikis, Lawrence, Kelly, and Hunt and is based on characters and a format originating from NBC Sports.
