About “Welcome to Wrexham”
Reynolds and McElhenney, through their company RR McReynolds, bought Wrexham AFC, nicknamed the Dragons, in 2020. Based in a small Welsh town of the same name, the club plays in the National League, which is the fifth tier of England’s football system. That’s several levels below the Premier League, which features the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United.
Welcome to Wrexham
Documentary series tracking the dreams and worries of Wrexham, a working-class town in North Wales, UK, as two Hollywood stars (Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds) take ownership of the town’s historic yet struggling football club.
The series is built on the tension brought about by a pair of North American stars buying a sports club in a foreign country, especially an unglamorous club in a small town with a working-class fan base. Adding to the drama is that Reynolds and McElhenney had never before had anything to do with sports management, nor had they ever worked with one another before.
“Welcome to Wrexham” is a six-episode series, in which two episodes air each Wednesday through Sept. 7.
