"Ted Lasso" Star Nick Mohammed Captivates in Dramatic Spy Thriller "Slow Horses"

In October 2025, actor Nick Mohammed, who is best known for his comedic role in the hit series "Ted Lasso," has taken on a more dramatic part in the spy thriller "Slow Horses." This marks a significant departure from his previous work, as the tone of "Slow Horses" is very different from the majority of Mohammed's previous projects, which were primarily in the comedy genre.

Despite the change in tone, Mohammed has been impressing viewers with his performance as the fictional London Mayor Zafar Jaffrey. While the character is not meant to be funny, Mohammed has found ways to incorporate his comedic skills, as he has done with his "Ted Lasso" character Nate, whose journey from the nicest to the most diabolical on the show proved Mohammed's versatility as an actor.

In "Slow Horses," Mohammed's character Jaffrey is a bit of a mystery so far, with hints that he may not be as mild-mannered as he presents himself to be. As the series progresses, it will be interesting to see if Jaffrey's story follows a similar path to Nate's in "Ted Lasso," where the character's world became increasingly darker.
