'Announced shortly' - Ted Lasso star teases huge Season 4 news as fans wait on return of Nate Shelley & Co to AFC Richmond

Comic actor Mohammed, who plays the role of Nate Shelley alongside affable American coach Lasso in the hit Apple TV+ show, has become famed for his playful antics on social media – with it impossible for his enthusiasm to be hidden.

Mohammed has dropped regular hints at Ted Lasso returning to the small screen since news of a potential reunion first broke in the autumn of 2024. There were suggestions back then that work could begin early in the New Year, with production boxes continuing to be ticked off.

Lead character and show writer Jason Sudeikis is said to be on board, amid talk of a "reboot" and taking things in a new direction, and several members of the cast and crew have been quick to air their excitement at linking up with AFC Richmond again.

Mohammed has teased fans in a video explaining why he is having to move a few stand-up dates, with the 44-year-old making sure to have a copy of Lasso’s famous ‘Believe’ sign in his hand. He said: "It is with deep regret that I have had to move some of the dates of my latest live show. I know there will be a lot of speculation as to why have you moved these dates, what is it for?

"I’ll be honest, it is for some filming that I have not been able to shift for love nor money. I cannot say what that filming is but it will be announced shortly. In the meantime, I would really appreciate if people just didn’t speculate as to what they think it might be. It’s the last thing I want, for people to be going mad."

Season 3 came to an end in May 2023 when Lasso returned to his native United States from an eventful stint coaching in England. Shelley was by his side for much of that adventure, after briefly linking up with West Ham, and appears to be back for the next chapter of an absorbing tale.
