Disney+ unveiled the official trailer for FX’s Welcome to Wrexham, the Emmy Award-winning docuseries from Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds.
Season five chronicles Wrexham AFC’s quest for promotion to the Premier League on the heels of three consecutive promotions, a feat that has never been achieved in English Football League history.
Rob Mac (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) and Ryan Reynolds (“Deadpool”) navigate running the 3rd oldest professional football club in the world.
Welcome to Wrexham is a docuseries tracking the dreams and worries of Wrexham, a working-class city in North Wales, UK, as two Hollywood stars guide the future of their historic Club.
In 2020, Rob and Ryan teamed up to purchase the 5th tier Red Dragons in the hopes of turning the Club into an underdog story the whole world could root for.
The world took notice and the Club made history, achieving back-to-back-to-back promotions, catapulting the Reds into the English Football League’s Championship for the first time in over four decades.
Having risen so quickly in the pyramid, with the eyes of the world turned to this once unknown town in Wales, fans and haters across the globe wait with bated breath to see whether the Wrexham experiment will make it all the way to the Premier League or if the team will crumble under the pressure.
Summer signings bring a nearly new roster and an all-new level of intensity, while heavy competition and rising costs, combined with limited ticket availability due to the building of the new Kop stand, lead to new challenges for the Club.
Dedicated staff and supporters celebrate the team’s climb toward the Premiership while bracing against naysayers who cheer for potential relegation. Will Wrexham AFC rise to the challenge and prove they deserve their place among the elite?
With a new coach and a permanent home, Wrexham AFC Women’s Team continues to battle amongst the top teams in the Welsh Adran Premier League and strives to stand out amidst a crowded field of talented women footballers.
