April 10, 2026

FX announced today that Welcome to Wrexham has been renewed for three additional seasons, taking it to Season 8 in 2029. The news comes as the English football docuseries prepares to release its fifth season on May 14.

"When we launched Welcome to Wrexham, we never imagined the impact it would have on the club and the town while creating one of TV's most successful and beloved docuseries," said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. "This three-season renewal is a testament to the vision of Rob and Ryan and the enduring connection they've built with fans around the world."

"A three-season order for a TV series is nearly unheard of and is only possible through the ground-breaking work of our Emmy-winning documentary team and the relentless rise of Wrexham AFC and all those working so hard to make sports history," said Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds, Co-chairmen of Wrexham AFC. "We are forever grateful to our equally fearless and tireless partners at FX for being with us every step of the way. We are so happy we get to keep telling the Wrexham story for years to come."

The series follows actors Mac and Reynolds after their 2020 joint purchase of the 5th tier Red Dragons in North Wales, UK with hopes of turning around the struggling football club. Cameras capture the growing pains of the new owners, as neither one had experience in football or even working with each other.
