Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed has joined the cast of Slow Horses season five – and while details about the upcoming season have been mostly kept under wraps, the actor teased his role during an interview with HELLO!.
Speaking on the red carpet at the SXSW London world premiere of Deep Cover, Prime Video's new action film in which Nick stars opposite Orlando Bloom and Bryce Dallas Howard, the actor revealed that he'll be playing the Mayor of London in the Apple TV+ spy drama.
"All I can say is that I'm in it. I've filmed it, it was a joy," Nick told us.
"I love that show and I've loved the books, actually, since the start, so to get to audition for it was a real delight," he said of the acclaimed series, which is based on Mick Herron's Slough House novel series.
Teasing his role, Nick continued: "It's out in September and I play the Mayor of London, but I can't reveal anything else, sadly," adding: "But it was really fun."
