Welcome To Wrexham will follow Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s journey to buying Welsh football club Wrexham AFC, and soon comes to Disney Plus.
Football fans have been treated to some brilliant documentaries about the beautiful game in recent years, including Amazon Prime’s All Or Nothing series, and the Netflix series, Sunderland Til’ I Die.
Now, Disney Plus is taking on the challenge as they explore the incredible story of actors Ryan and Rob’s decision to buy Wrexham AFC, a fifth-tier team in the English Football League.
The pair announced their intentions to buy the club in 2020, before setting up the company RR McReynolds in order to facilitate the purchase and complete the deal in February 2021.
Cameras have followed the duo around since their mega purchase, giving fans a look at the Hollywood pair’s attempts to revive the third-oldest professional FA team in the world.
Fans will soon get the chance to see exactly what they’ve been up to, as Welcome To Wrexham lands on Disney Plus in just a matter of days’ time.
What is Welcome To Wrexham about?
Prior to the pair’s purchase, Wrexham AFC was owned by the Wrexham Supporter’s Trust, a fan-operated company, since 2011.
The acting duo were approved by the Trust for the £2 million takeover by 98.6%. While they initially rejected any offer, they ‘soon changed their minds’ following the revelation of who was looking to purchase.
The series is said to be inspired by Sunderland ‘Til I Die, which prompted Rob’s initial interest in buying an association football club.
It was also influenced by the show’s now executive director, Humphrey Ker, who was also interested in purchasing a club at the time.
Fans will get to see how the team has performed under the pair’s ownership, who both have known experience in managing a sports team.
The series also looks to highlight the pair’s hopes of improving the team and bringing positive change to the local Wrexham community, as they express their intentions to be very hands-on owners.
Nick Grad, FX Entertainment’s original programming president said: ‘Rob and Ryan will take fans inside the sport as never before, pairing their genuine love for the game with the welcome challenge of building on the heritage of this club.’
Filming began back in December 2020, with the film crew present at the owners’ first visit to the team at the Wrexham vs. Maidenhead United FC game in October 2021.
Is there a trailer?
Yes, a trailer was released at the end of last month and can be viewed below.
When is Welcome To Wrexham released on Disney Plus?
Welcome To Wrexham will premiere on Thursday, August 25 in the UK, exclusively available on Disney Plus.
It will come to American streaming service Hulu the day before, on Wednesday, August 24.
