In the series premiere of Welcome to Wrexham, we’re introduced to the historic Welsh football club Wrexham AFC and its unlikely new owners — Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney and global superstar Ryan Reynolds. The episode explores the town’s deep connection to the club, its struggles both on and off the pitch, and the skepticism surrounding the surprise takeover by two outsiders. Rob draws parallels between his working-class roots in Philadelphia and the people of Wrexham, while Ryan offers charm, humility, and curiosity as they present their vision to the club’s Supporters Trust. With 98.6% approval, the ownership deal goes through — and a new era begins.
