FX is previewing Season 4 of Welcome to Wrexham, which arrives May 15. The docuseries follows Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds‘ historic Welsh community football club’s promotion as it enters a new and tough division, with a longline reading that the 8-episode series “will continue to follow McElhenney and Reynolds as they navigate running the 3rd oldest professional football club in the world.”
In the trailer for Season 5, the Red Dragons soccer club is said to be undergoing “a baptism of fire.” McElhenney says:”Over the last four years, it’s been this rollercoaster of magic.”
An official synopsis reads: “In 2020, McElhenney and Reynolds teamed up to purchase the 5th tier Red Dragons, hoping to turn the Club into an underdog story. 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?”
Welcome to Wrexham Season 4 premieres May 15 at 9 pm on FX and streaming next day on Hulu; see the trailer: HERE.
