‘The last thing I want is for people to be going mad,’ joked Nick Mohammed. Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed has appeared to confirm that the long-awaited fourth season of the show is about to begin filming. Mohammed, 44, who plays AFC Richmond assistant coach Nate Shelley in the football comedy-drama, teased the news in a video on Twitter/X.
In the video, the actor was telling fans that his Show Pony comedy tour is being rescheduled “for some filming I have not been able to shift for love of money”. “I cannot say what that filming is. But it will be announced shortly,” he said. “In the meantime, I would really appreciate if people just didn’t speculate as to what they think it might be,” Mohammed continued, holding up the “BELIEVE” sign that appears in the show. “The last thing I want is for people to be going mad.”.
Ted Lasso lead Jason Sudeikis hit out at fans of the series last year who disliked the widely divisive third season, claiming that they didn’t “understand” it and “don’t have imaginations”. Season three, which aired back in 2023 and had been expected to be the final outing, was accused by some of losing its way, despite receiving positive reviews from critics. Fans had criticised the show for having too many separate storylines and felt especially let down by what they saw as a rushed redemption arc for Mohammed’s Nate.
