Wrexham AFC is no ordinary football club. It’s a phoenix rising from the ashes, fueled by Hollywood dreams and a passionate fanbase. Under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Wrexham has transformed from a struggling team into a beacon of hope and ambition. Their journey is a captivating tale, one that has enchanted fans across the globe.
The story began in 2021 when Reynolds and McElhenney took the plunge. They bought Wrexham, a club steeped in history but marred by years of mediocrity. Their vision was clear: to elevate Wrexham to the heights of English football. The duo didn’t just invest money; they invested their hearts. They understood that football is more than a game; it’s a community, a culture, a way of life.
Fast forward to April 2025. Wrexham stands on the brink of a remarkable achievement: a third consecutive promotion. The Red Dragons, as they are affectionately known, have clawed their way up from the National League to League One, and now they are just one step away from the Championship. It’s a dream that seemed impossible just a few years ago.
The journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. Each match is a chapter in a gripping novel. The players, under the guidance of manager Phil Parkinson, have embraced the challenge. They’ve fought tooth and nail, displaying grit and determination. Parkinson has instilled a sense of togetherness in the squad. He knows that success in football is built on unity. When the owners visit, they connect with the players, sharing meals and conversations. This bond strengthens the team, creating a family atmosphere.
The recent match against Charlton Athletic was a defining moment. Wrexham triumphed with a resounding 3-0 victory, sealing their promotion to the Championship. The stadium erupted in jubilation. Fans sang, danced, and celebrated like never before. Reynolds and McElhenney were there, soaking in the atmosphere, their faces beaming with pride. They are not just owners; they are fans, too. Their passion is infectious.

People tune in not just for the football, but for the human stories behind it. The struggles, the triumphs, the camaraderie—these are the elements that resonate with audiences. The documentary has turned Wrexham into a global phenomenon.
The impact of Reynolds and McElhenney extends beyond the pitch. They have revitalized the club’s image and engaged the local community. Their approach is refreshing. They listen to fans, respect traditions, and honor the club’s rich history. This connection with the community is vital. It’s what makes Wrexham unique. The club is a symbol of hope, a testament to what can be achieved with vision and determination.
