Shortly after the premiere of the first two episodes of the fourth season of the hit FX series, “Welcome To Wrexham”, Disney has announced that it has renewed the show for a fifth season.

The fifth season will capture the Club’s upcoming debut in the EFL Championship after its historic third consecutive promotion.

The series follows Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) as they navigate running the 3rd oldest professional football club in the world. “Welcome to Wrexham” is a docuseries tracking the dreams and worries of Wrexham, a working-class city in North Wales, UK, as two Hollywood stars guide the future of their historic Club.

In 2020, Rob and Ryan teamed up to purchase the 5th-tier Red Dragons in the hopes of turning the Club into an underdog story the whole world could root for.

The fourth season follows how the club achieved back-to-back promotions to bring the Reds into the English Football League’s League One for the first time in 20 years. As they continue to rise in the pyramid, the stakes get higher with a new level of intensity, competition and costs, all while the Club continues to be plagued with injury and fans demand the signing of new talent. Dedicated staff and supporters celebrate the team’s climb toward the Premiership while bracing against the new-found challenges that come with each new tier up the EFL. Will Wrexham AFC rise to the challenge and do what no team has ever done before?

Wrexham AFC Women’s Team continues to battle amongst the top teams in the Welsh Adran Premier League and strives to stand out amidst a crowded field of talented women footballers. With new players and continued support from the Club and fans, can they make a name for themselves at the top of the League?

Meanwhile, somewhere in a galaxy far away… actually, a series of towns, cities and boroughs likely across Wales, England and California, Humphrey Ker trains for a marathon. Will Wrexham AFC’s beloved Executive Director raise funds for charity, survive humiliation at the hands of the players and staff, and complete 26.2 miles without injury or chaffing?

Follow along as “Welcome to Wrexham’s” cameras bring you unprecedented access on the pitch, inside the locker room and alongside the players while the action unfolds in some of the biggest matches Wrexham AFC has ever played.

“Welcome to Wrexham” is executive produced by McElhenney, Reynolds, Josh Drisko, Bryan Rowland, Jeff Luini, Ker, Nick Frenkel, George Dewey and Boardwalk Pictures’ Andrew Fried, Dane Lillegard, Sarina Roma, and Andy Thomas. The show is produced by More Better Productions, Maximum Effort, 3 Arts Entertainment and Boardwalk Pictures.

The first two episodes of the fourth season, along with previous three seasons of “Welcome To Wrexham” are available to stream now on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ internationally. New episodes are being released each week.

Roger’s Take: It shouldn’t come as a surprise to see “Welcome To Wrexham” renewed, as it’s become one of the biggest hits for FX, not just on linear but also on streaming services. It’s also working for Wrexham FC, in bringing more attention, both from fans and sponsors, to the club, helping generate more revenue to boost the club even further. Expect to see the fifth season released on Hulu and Disney+ next year.
