"A three-season order for a TV series is nearly unheard of - Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds"

Washington DC, April 10

The makers have renewed the hit docuseries "Welcome to Wrexham" for an additional three seasons, reported Variety.

According to Variety, the show will run through at least its eighth season. It also comes roughly one month ahead of the premiere of Season 5, which will debut on FXX and Hulu on May 14 with its first two episodes. One new episode will then drop weekly thereafter.

"When we launched 'Welcome to Wrexham,' we never imagined the impact it would have on the club and the town while creating one of TV's most successful and beloved docuseries," said Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment.

"This three-season renewal is a testament to the vision of Rob and Ryan and the enduring connection they've built with fans around the world," added Nick Grad.

"A three-season order for a TV series is nearly unheard of and is only possible through the ground-breaking work of our Emmy-winning documentary team and the relentless rise of Wrexham AFC and all those working so hard to make sports history," said Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds, co-chairmen of Wrexham AFC.

"We are forever grateful to our equally fearless and tireless partners at FX for being with us every step of the way. We are so happy we get to keep telling the Wrexham story for years to come," added Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds, as quoted by Variety.

Per the official description of Season 5, this season will follow "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."

The series is executive produced by Mac, Reynolds, Josh Drisko, Bryan Rowland, Jeff Luini, Humphrey Ker, Nicholas Frenkel, George Dewey and Boardwalk Pictures' Andrew Fried, Dane Lillegard, Sarina Roma, and Andy Thomas.

It is produced by More Better Productions, Maximum Effort, 3 Arts Entertainment and Boardwalk Pictures.

Honestly, I love the show but I hope the focus stays on the town and the real people of Wrexham. With this much success, there's a risk it becomes more about the Hollywood glamour of Ryan Reynolds and less about the heart of the story. Fingers crossed they keep the authenticity.

Three-season renewal straight away? Wah! This is like getting a hat-trick before the match even starts. The passion in this series reminds me of our own local football clubs' struggles. Hope it inspires more such documentaries about sports teams with soul.

My husband and I binge-watched all seasons during the lockdown. It's such a feel-good story. Coming from a cricket-crazy country, it's nice to see another sport getting this kind of emotional, human storytelling. More power to the team!

Promotion to the Premier League? That's the dream! The pressure in Season 5 will be insane. As an Indian football fan who follows the Premier League closely, I'm genuinely invested now. Hope they make it, but the journey is what matters. Brilliant move by FX.

This is the kind of positive content we need. In a world full of negative news, a story about revival, hope, and community spirit is refreshing. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have done something really special here. Hope they do a similar series for an Indian sports team someday!
