Ryan Reynolds has scored one for his Wrexham team. While the co-owners’ participation remains off-ground, his efforts with Rob McElhenney are bearing sweet fruits. Ever since they purchased the team in November 2020, the journey to bring back its old glory was documented for fans to see and experience. On the PR front, it was a success and the team players showed their appreciation by going to a higher league.

The Welcome to Wrexham docuseries was launched on Disney+ and helped encourage not only its existing fans but also to make new ones. Since the first season, a lot has happened and is yet to happen, which will perhaps be seen in Season 2. The return will now be bigger considering the team bagged a major trophy recently.

Sports documentaries only add to the excitement of their fans by offering more insight into their favorite teams. However, it takes a special skill to showcase it in a certain way. The series has now won a Critics Choice Real Tv Award for Best Sports Show. It premiered on 24th August 2022, for the first season after its takeover by Hollywood entertainers. Thereon we saw the non-league team rise up both through its fame and performance.

While it always had fans, the team was said to be mismanaged to the point that it lost its glory. The stars then purchased it for a hefty amount of £2 million and kicked off the series on Disney+. Thereafter, they are also convinced about live telecasts of matches to garner more viewers, which helped all the teams get exposure. There were about 18 episodes, each focusing on a different aspect of their progress, and the rollercoaster ride that they went through.

Wrexham has developed immensely since season one. They won a major match at the Racecourse Ground, enabling them to play with bigger teams. The same ground has now got the support of the Welsh Government for expansion and renovation.

The team is also set to have a series of friendly matches with several teams, including the massive Manchester United in July. Perhaps we can expect to see all of that in September when Season 2 is said to be released.
