Brandi Carlile Covers Ted Lasso Theme for Season 4 Finale

Brandi Carlile has put her stamp on the “Ted Lasso Theme,” delivering a brand-new cover for the tenth and final episode of the Apple TV series’ fourth season, which premiered on Wednesday, Oct. 7, according to Decider. The song was originally co-written and performed by Mumford & Sons member Marcus Mumford alongside composer Tom Howe.

Inside Carlile’s Ties to the Production

While the exact origins of how Carlile joined the music department for the show remain unconfirmed, the singer-songwriter shares close professional ties with Mumford. The two previously co-wrote and sang material together on Mumford’s 2022 self-titled album, as noted by Decider. The show's music supervisor, Christa Miller, has also worked with Carlile on separate projects, including the Apple TV comedy series Shrinking.

Cast Reactions to the Final Episode Track

Cast member Brendan Hunt described his emotional reaction to hearing the finished track for the first time. “I just bawled, absolutely bawled,” Hunt told Variety when series star Jason Sudeikis played the full-length recording for him. Hunt added that the track features Carlile accompanied by a full band.

Availability and the Future of the Full Song

Viewers hear a 30-second snippet of Carlile’s rendition during the opening credits of the fourth-season finale. Hunt stated to Variety that he hopes Apple releases the full-length version of the song, calling the complete recording powerful.

The Evolution of the Apple TV Comedy

The fourth season of Ted Lasso follows Jason Sudeikis returning to coach an all-women soccer team. Sudeikis previously hosted Saturday Night Live in 2021 with Carlile as the musical guest, establishing an early professional crossover between the actor and the musician.
