Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Hit Series Renewed for Season 5 and Spinoff

Not only has Rob McElhenney’s sports documentary series, “Welcome to Wrexham,” been renewed for a fifth season, but plans are underway for a spinoff as well.

Based on reports, the popular show “Welcome to Wrexham” has been granted another season, marking its fifth instalment. Additionally, it was announced that a new documentary series produced by the same team will debut, titled “Necaxa.” The series “Welcome to Wrexham” offers an authentic glimpse into the real-life happenings since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over as owners of Welsh football club Wrexham AFC in 2021. Season 4 garnered a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the series as a whole boasts an impressive overall score of 95%.

With both the series’ triumphs and Wrexham AFC’s real-life victories, Necaxa aims to revitalize the spirit of one of Mexico’s oldest and most legendary football clubs. In April 2024, FX gave the green light to a “Wrexham”-esque docuseries featuring Necaxa. Alongside Reynolds and McElhenny, producer, director, and activist Eva Longoria also owns a portion of the team and will play a significant role in it.

The storyline summarizes an intense, transformative era filled with staff changes, pivotal injuries, and unwavering resilience from a Mexican football team, Club Necaxa, striving to surpass predictions and restore hope within Aguascalientes. Once a dominant force in Mexican football, the club has faced decades of instability, including relocations, relegation struggles, and continuous reinvention. Despite its legacy occasionally fading from the national limelight, a dedicated group of diehard fans remain optimistic, holding onto the dream that their cherished ‘Rayos’ will one day regain their former glory.
