Could Season 4 of Ted Lasso see the return of ‘The Wonder Kid’? Nick Mohammed certainly won’t say.
After Jason Sudeikis and several co-stars hopped the pond to begin production on the Kansas City-based fourth season of the 13x Emmy-winning series, the actor who portrays former AFC Richmond assistant coach Nate Shelley played coy about whether he’s joining them.
“I think sworn to secrecy is about right,” Mohammed told Collider. “Look, I know that it’s about a whole different set of characters. I can’t even talk about it without giving anything away! We’ll have to see. We’ll have to see who pops up where and when. But I know that they’re filming it now, and I’ve been socializing with them all. They’re all very well, so we’ll see what happens.”

In January, Mohammed teased that he had to postpone some comedy tour dates “for some filming I have not been able to shift for love of money,” before holding up a Ted Lasso prop.
Filming kicked off in Kansas City back in July for Season 4, with co-creator/executive producer Sudeikis reuniting with Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein and Jeremy Swift. Production is then expected to return to London.
Per Season 4’s official logline, Ted (Sudeikis) returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.
