Ted Lasso’s Nick Mohammed shares his dream storyline for Nate ahead of Season 4. Before he starred in Slow Horses (https://decider.com/show/slow-horses/) Season 5 as Zafar Jaffrey, Mayor of London, he rose to Apple TV+ fame in the beloved Emmy-winning comedy, Ted Lasso (https://decider.com/show/ted-lasso/), as ‘Wonder Kid’ Nathan Shelley. After Season 3’s finale saw Ted (Jason Sudeikis) leave AFC Richmond behind and head home, fans feared the sports comedy had ended. However, production on Season 4 officially began (https://decider.com/2025/07/21/ted-lasso-season-4-apple-tv/), with OG stars Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Jeremy Swift, and Brendan Hunt confirmed. While Season 4 details are under wraps, fans know the series filmed several scenes in Kansas City and will return to Richmond to coach a second women’s football team. Though Mohammed can’t confirm his character’s return, he shared a dream storyline for Nate. “If I hypothetically returned, I’d feel Nate still needs learning,” Mohammed said. He also mentioned wanting Nate to become a club owner, something low-level and grassroots, like a local club. In Season 4, Nate will return to the Richmond locker room after spending time coaching West Ham United alongside Rupert Mannion, Anthony Head, and his former owner. When Mohammed’s character was in love with Jade (Edyta Budnik) and believed in sport again, there’s clear potential for Nate to coach. If he does appear, Mohammed hopes to share more scenes with someone who isn’t coaching. "Nate and Rebecca have an odd connection through Rupert," Mohammed told Decider. "They were both manipulated by him in his shadow." New stars include Grant Feely, Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsey, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, and Abbie Hern. Jack Burditt, Emmy winner, will serve as executive producer under a new deal. Sudeikis, Hunt, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, and Bill Wrubel are EPs. Goldstein returns as writer and EP, Leanne Bowen, and others. Bill Lawrence continues to produce via Doozer Productions. Early reports suggest Phil Dunster may return, though recent videos show him leaving Richmond near Sudeikis, Temple, and Waddingham. So we believe Ted Lasso will reunite us with all favorite characters, including Nate. And perhaps Mohammed’s dream of Nate owning a club could inspire Season 5 or beyond! Meanwhile, you can catch Mohammed on new episodes of Slow Horses.
