Docuseries Welcome to Wrexham premieres this Wednesday, August 24, on FX in Canada.
In 2020, Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Ryan Reynolds (Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place) decided to tea and purchase the third oldest professional football (soccer, for those in North America) club – the 5th tier Red Dragons in North Wales.
Welcome to Wrexham will oversee how two Hollywood stars take ownership of a town’s historic but struggling football club as Rob and Ryan, who have never worked with each other or experience in the sport, take a crash course in football ownership in hopes of turning the club into an underdog story that the whole world can root for.
The 5-episode series will air back-to-back at 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on Thursdays beginning August 24 and concluding September 7 on FX in Canada and the U.S. All episodes of Welcome to Wrexham will be available to stream on FX on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ in the U.K. beginning August 25.
