Welcome to Wrexham Trailer: Reynolds, McElhenney Buy a Football Club

What do you get when you cross Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) and Rob McElhenney (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mythic Quest) with the Welsh Football Team, the Wrexham AFC Red Dragons? We're about to find out when FX's docuseries Welcome to Wrexham debuts on August 24th (and streaming on Hulu), and now we have a look at the official trailer. In 2020, the duo teamed up to purchase one of the world's oldest professional football clubs. The series is set to focus on the dreams and people of Wrexham, a working-class town in North Wales, UK, as Reynolds & McElhenney learn to work together and learn what it means to run a football team while looking to turn the club into a "Cinderella story" for the ages.

Now here's a look at the official trailer for FX's Welcome to Wrexham, premiering on August 24th:

Rob McElhenney (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) navigate running the third oldest professional football club in the world. Welcome to Wrexham is a docuseries tracking the dreams and worries of Wrexham, a working-class town in North Wales, UK, as two Hollywood stars take ownership of the town's historic yet struggling football 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 worry? Rob and Ryan have no experience in football or working with each other. From Hollywood to Wales, from the pitch to the locker room, the front office to the pub, Welcome to Wrexham will track Rob and Ryan's crash course in football club ownership and the inextricably connected fates of a team and a town counting on two actors to bring some serious hope and change to a community that could use it.

"Rob McElhenney has been an all-star on Team FX for years and now has partnered with the formidable Ryan Reynolds to bring glory to the 'Red Dragons' in the docuseries Welcome to Wrexham," said Nick Grad, President, Original Programming, FX Entertainment, when news of the series was first announced last year. "Rob and Ryan will take fans inside the sport as never before, pairing their genuine love for the game with the welcome challenge of building on the heritage of this club." Produced by Boardwalk Pictures, FX's Welcome to Wrexham will be executive produced by McElhenney, Reynolds, Nick Frenkel, John Henion, and Boardwalk Pictures' Andrew Fried, Dane Lillegard, Jordan Wynn, and Sarina Roma.
