The third and likely last season of Apple TV+'s "Ted Lasso" is underway, and it looks like the apparent villain origin story set up at the end of the second season with Nate Shelley, played by magician/actor/comedian Nick Mohammed, might end with the West Ham coach embracing the fact that he's not the vicious, cutthroat person he's trying to be.
Whether Nate is redeemed or not, however, Mohammed has some trepidation around the idea of a whole potential new series centered on his character. "In general, I worry about spin-offs, especially for a really large show like 'Lasso'," he shared in a recent interview with NME. "I mean, if you get it wrong, it's just a shame, isn't it?"
It certainly would be a shame, not to mention a ton of pressure that Mohammed would have to bear, if Apple TV+ gave the greenlight to a Nate-focused spin-off.

There are few bad days that can’t be remedied by watching an episode of Would I Lie To You?
This award-winning BBC panel show has been making us laugh for over 15 years thanks to hilarious repeat performances from the likes of Bob Mortimer and Rhod Gilbert, and the top-tier chemistry between team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell and host Rob Brydon.
It’s created so many legendary funny moments that picking a favourite is almost impossible, but here are the Would I Lie To You? stories that have gone down in TV history:
16. Henning Wehn Goes Missing in Morocco
Henning Wehn appears to have gone to the Kevin Bridges School of Storytelling (more on that later) – his yarns have a similarly scatter-brained approach that are pleasingly impossible to predict. Here he claims Interpol listed him as a missing person when he went on a bike ride in Spain...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers through Ted Lasso Season 3, Episode 7, “The Strings That Bind Us.”] Is Ted Lasso‘s Nate the Great making a comeback? It would appear so as the former AFC Richmond waterboy turned West Ham United coach, played by Nick Mohammed, stepped out of his comfort zone in the installment, “The Strings That Bind Us.” Rather than getting competitive on the pitch, Nate explored the possibility of romance as he worked up the courage to ask out Jade (Edyta Budnik), the hostess from his favorite restaurant, Taste of Athens. Knowing Nate, it should come as no surprise that the timid man had a few hiccups along the way to reaching his goal. “The latter half of this season is slightly more loaded towards Nate and his journey,” Mohammed tells TV Insider. Along with pursuing Jade, viewers get to see Nate spend some family time with his parents and sister Nicole (Karen Johal), and ultimately it’s ...

Last week on “Ted Lasso,” the mighty UFC Richmond went down to West Ham United (1-4) in a fierce contest. And the scene is set for opposing coaches to go head-to-head at the 2023 Emmy Awards — albeit in a friendlier competition.
In the third season of the Apple TV+ comedy, AFC Richmond is still coached by the loveable Ted (Jason Sudeikis) with assistant coaches Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) and Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt). The team started as underdogs, but landing star recruit Zava (Maximilian Osinski) rockets the Greyhounds up the standings. Former Richmond assistant coach Nate (Nick Mohammad), meanwhile, has taken the reigns at West Ham, who have enjoyed a dominant season, with “The Wonder Kid” looking to put his old club in their place.
The first four episodes of the season culminated in a grudge match between the two clubs. After conceding two goals late in the first half, Richmond fell apart.

Perhaps redemption is possible, after all?
During Wednesday’s Ted Lasso — the fourth episode of Season 3 — Nathan makes not one, but two attempts to apologize to Ted for how he left things at the end of Season 2. His first attempt, which is interrupted by Rupert, comes before AFC Richmond faces off against West Ham United, when Ted and Nate share an elevator at London Stadium. The second attempt comes after Richmond blows the match, triggered by security cam footage of Nate tearing Ted’s “Believe” sign in two. Nate spots Ted by the exit, but before he has a chance to confront him,...

[This story contains spoilers for “Big Week,” episode four of Ted Lasso season three.]
The “Big Week” of the title in this episode of Ted Lasso is AFC Richmond’s first meeting with West Ham, now led by former Greyhounds assistant Nate (Nick Mohammed). It’s a grudge match that gets extra grudge-y, even as Nate is still stewing in some very complicated feelings toward his former boss, Ted (Jason Sudeikis).
Nate’s heel turn at the end of season two shocked a lot of Ted Lasso viewers, to the point that even Mohammed was a bit surprised by the reaction. “People were angry. They took it really personally,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “I can only think it’s because season one Nate, that arc was [he was the] underdog hired by Ted, does good and gets promoted. It’s something we can all cling on to because we love those stories. They’re sort of sports movie tropes. Because we were rooting for Nate, it...
