During the pandemic, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the world’s third-oldest professional football team — despite having absolutely no experience in the sport or having ever met in real life. Welcome to Wrexham chronicles the pair’s attempt to create an underdog story for the team while getting a crash course on running a football club. (They got their wish — Wrexham secured promotion up to the English Football League at the end of April 2023 with a 3–1 win over Boreham Wood. An overwhelmed Reynolds and McElhenney were there to watch it happen.) The show’s second season started Sept. 12.
