Business partners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have shared the first trailer for their FC 25 Coins promised documentary series on Wrexham AFC, the very soccer club the two actors bought back in 2020. Although the team did not achieve promotion last season, its popularity is surely on the rise.

Although Reynolds and McElhenney are not the first American investors to dip their toes in English football, they sure are the most famous ones, with their fame helping drive capital to the club's coffers as shown in the trailer for Welcome to Wrexham. Since the acquisition took palace, the pair have taken part in numerous promotions for the club, even revealing their inclusion in FC 25. despite Wrexham being stuck in the fifth division of English football.

Welcome to Wrexham shows Reynolds and McElhenney becoming acquainted with the sports team's culture, as well as fans from the 65.000 people town in Wales where the club hails from. Naturally, having Reynolds and McElhenney means humor is on the table. This is shown by Reynolds' embrace of a little boy‘s theory of a Wrexham and Deadpool connection or their desire to renovate the team's facilities since they arrived, all to the tune of the supporters chanting Elvis Presley's “Can't Help Falling in Love.”

This early trailer does show a ton of emotion, and Reynolds and McElhenney's first full season saw the team almost achieve promotion after narrowly losing in the play-off semifinal against Grimsby Town. It was a 5-4 extra time defeat, and a heart-breaking moment that‘s likely to make its way in the docu-series. Welcome to Wrexham will release on Hulu in the United States, though Disney Plus will carry the series in certain international markets.

Sports documentaries are not anything new, with 2020‘s The Last Dance taking the world buy EA FC Coins by storm and Amazon Prime Video just releasing All or Nothing: Arsenal. What truly sets Welcome to Wrexham apart is how Reynolds and McElhenney's involvement has turned this cinderella story into something so surreal that it feels taken straight out of Ted Lasso. After all, coach Lasso also failed to secure promotion in his first season but AFC Richmond will be gunning for much more when Ted Lasso's third season comes out.
