'Whole host of new characters' confirmed for Ted Lasso Season 4 as 'blabbermouth' star claims he always believed Jason Sudeikis would bring the show back

After several months of speculation, with fans around the world desperate to see Lasso return to their screens once more, it has been announced that a fourth series of the Apple Tv+ show is in the works.

Title character and writer Jason Sudeikis is back on board, with filming set to start at some point this summer. The production will be taken in a different direction as Lasso is now working as a coach in the women’s game.

With that in mind, as a "reboot" is set in motion, Mohammed - who plays kit man turned coach Nate Shelley - has confessed that a "whole host of new characters" are ready to be introduced. He has also stated that Shelley will "pop up" at some stage.

Mohammed, who has teased fans with Ted Lasso updates on social media, claims to have always been convinced that Sudeikis would bring the show back. He told Collider: "The storylines in Season 3 would suggest that there was a real sense of finality. Ted goes back home, right?

"But there were enough things that were set up that would suggest that there was a path to it coming back. We didn’t know for absolute definite, and it was always up to Jason as to whether he wanted to do more."

Mohammed admits that he "knew for a while" that a fourth series was coming and found it "quite tough" to keep that information to himself. There has been no official word as yet regarding a release date for the latest instalment of Ted Lasso’s managerial adventures.
