Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have made a huge impact since taking over Wrexham in 2020. Not only have they overseen three promotions from the National League, England’s fifth tier, to the Championship, one step below the Premier League, but they have also been showered with praise for their hands-on approach, investing heavily in both the club’s infrastructure and the local community.

A documentary capturing every moment

Of course, fans have been able to follow their journey in north-east Wales through the “Welcome to Wrexham” documentary, which is heading into its fifth season. The series initially focused on Reynolds and McElhenney’s attempts to revive a club that had fallen out of the English football league in 2008.

From promotions to Premier League hopes

The duo’s time in charge has been a resounding success, with Wrexham earning successive promotions in 2022-23, 2023-24, and 2024-25. Now, the thriving club has a shot at reaching the Premier League. With eight games left in the regular season, Wrexham sit just outside the playoff places. Watch this space.

Off-field success mirrors on-field triumphs

On-field glory has been matched by off-field success in the form of “Welcome to Wrexham.” Since the first season premiered on FX in August 2022, the show has won eight Primetime Emmys and two Critics’ Choice TV Awards. The documentary has also significantly boosted Wrexham’s profile in the United States, where the club has gained followers and played several high-profile friendlies in recent years, with more to come this summer.

‘Welcome to Wrexham”: Season five coming this May

The fifth season of “Welcome to Wrexham” is scheduled to be released this May, although the exact date has not yet been revealed. The show will be available on FX and Hulu in the United States, as well as Disney+ internationally.
