You will now notice a large road sign that reads “Welcome To Wrexham” as you cross the border into Wales from Cheshire, England. This sign is designed to appear like the iconic Hollywood sign that is located in the hills above Los Angeles.

It has recently come to light that a big new fly-on-the-wall documentary series called Welcome to Wrexham will be filmed in this town in north Wales. The series will premiere in August 2022 on Disney+ in the United Kingdom and FX and FX on Hulu in the United States.

The docuseries will expose what occurred to the Welsh football team Wrexham AFC after two major Hollywood stars, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, decided to buy the club in 2020 and begin running it themselves. The club competed in a lower level of Welsh football. There will very certainly be a variety of highs and lows, as well as jokes with the natives.

As two Hollywood stars acquire ownership of the storied but struggling football club in the Welsh town of Wrexham, the docuseries will follow the hopes and aspirations of the working-class residents of Wrexham.

In 2020, Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) joined forces to buy the Wrexham AFC football team in the hopes of bringing success to the underdog squad and, through the production of Welcome to Wrexham, winning over the entire world.

However, Rob and Ryan have never worked together or played football (soccer). However, both take their investments in Wrexham AFC seriously and really want to help the team grow, honor the community, and interact with local fans.

Ryan Reynolds, the actor in the film Welcome to Wrexham, recently spoke with broadcaster Lorraine Kelly on her weekly Lorraine (9 am weekdays on ITV and ITV Hub).

“It goes without saying that we’ve adopted you over here, especially given your enthusiasm for football. How’s that all going?” Lorraine enquired. “You’ve added glitz and energy to football.”

“Before I arrived, Wrexham already had its own distinct brand of glitter and excitement. Rob McElhenney and I both adore it. Such a passionate endeavor, it is.

“In general, playing football has been the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me. I understand the beautiful game as much as I can at this point in my life, and it’s a new kind of gorgeous torment to me that I’ve never encountered. I adore it with all of my heart, but I also get extremely heartbroken by it frequently.
