'Ted Lasso' Star Nick Mohammed on Nate's Season 4 Future: ‘We'll Have to See'
Fans of the popular show Ted Lasso have gone on many emotional roller coaster rides with various cast members over the years. However, one significant name who went from an AFC Richmond hero to one of the team's biggest rivals is Nate Shelley.
Shelley, played by Nick Mohammed, earned the nickname "The Wonder Kid" after his quick rise from the team's kitman to assistant coach. However, Mohammed's character turned on Lasso, played by Jason Sudeikis, and ultimately became the head coach of West Ham, a team owned by AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton's ex-husband.
While the on-field rivalry between Shelley and Sudeikis was a primary storyline in Season 3 of Ted Lasso, the young coach realized there's no place like home. That season's finale featured Shelley returning to Richmond, accepting a job as the assistant kitman.
After how things transpired with Shelley's character, his status for Season 4 was up in the air. The Ted Lasso creators have kept much of the casting under wraps thus far, including a potential role for Shelley.
Mohammed was asked if his character would return in Season 4 during an interview with The Associated Press, and he remained cryptic about Nate's future.
"Who knows if Nate's still there, we'll have to see," Mohammed said with a smile. "Because, you know he's a great football coach who will probably have gone further afield by this point."
While Mohammed's comments didn't give anything away, his body language and smile throughout the conversation may have been a telling sign.
Considering Nate winds up back with AFC Richmond, it wouldn't be hard to put him back at the center of the show's storyline alongside the rest of the coaching staff.'Ted Lasso' Star Nick Mohammed on Nate's Season 4 Future: 'We'll Have to See' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 12, 2025
