TED Lasso star 'confirmed' show future despite fan backlash after the third season.
Ted Lasso star, Nick Mohammed, has dropped the biggest hint yet that filming for a new series could be on the horizon, amid ongoing speculation about the future of the beloved Apple TV show.
Nick, who plays AFC Richmond assistant coach Nate Shelley, has taken to social media to tease an long-awaited update on the football comedy-drama.
The actor, 44, told fans that his Show Pony comedy tour is being rescheduled “for some filming I have not been able to shift for love of money."
He added: "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. The last thing I want is for people to be going mad.”
