He also appears in the new CBBC show Hank Zipzer as Mr. Love. He made a guest appearance in the final episode of series 1 and first episode of series 2 of Uncle.[9]
In 2015, he joined the cast of ITV comedy The Job Lot. He has written and starred in two series of 'Detective Sergeant Nick Mohammed', a comedy set in a police station, for BBC Radio 4.[11]
In 2018, he voiced Piglet in the Disney film Christopher Robin. In 2018, it was announced that he would collaborate on a new comedy series titled Intelligence with David Schwimmer for Sky One.[12]
In 2019, Mohammed appeared in the second series of Stath Lets Flats.[9]
From 2020 to 2023, Mohammed starred as Nathan "Nate" Shelley in the Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso which ran for three seasons on Apple TV+.[9]
