Latar belakang

Pada September 2020, aktor Amerika Rob McElhenney dan aktor Kanada-Amerika Ryan Reynolds mengumumkan minat mereka untuk mengakuisisi Wrexham A.F.C., sebuah klub sepakbola profesional asal Wales yang berkandang di Racecourse Ground di Wrexham, timur-laut Wales di Inggris.[4] Perusahaan bernama RR McReynolds diberdirikan pada November 2020, dan kesepakatannya diselesaikan pada Februari 2021. Pada saat pembelian, Wrexham A.F.C. bermain di National League, tingkat kelima pada sistem liga sepakbola Inggris, dibawah Premier League dan tiga tingkat dari English Football League.[5][6]

Pada waktu itu, tim dideskripsikan sedang bergelut:[7] Manajemen sebelum 2011 disebut telah "melakukan kesalahan manajemen yang berakibat klub hampir pailit", dengan penggemar "mulai tidak mencintai klub". Pada 2011 klub sudah mendapatkan pesanan penutupan.[8][9] Karena penundaan 2019–20 National League pada Maret 2020 akibat merebaknya pandemi COVID-19 di Inggris, Wrexham A.F.C. melakukan perumahan bagi para staff dan pemain, dan keberadaan klub untuk selanjutnya sedang dalam goncangan".[10] Sebelum diakuisisi oleh kedua pasangan ini, Wrexham A.F.C. dimiliki oleh Dana Penggemar Wrexham, perusahaan yang dijalankan oleh penggemar, sejak 2011. Perusahaan mengabulkan pengambilalihan oleh McElhenney dan Reynolds' sebesar £2 juta atau sekitar 98.6%.[8][11][12][13] Pasca akuisisi, akun twitter Wrexham A.F.C. memberitakan komedi sketsa dengan McElhenney dan Reynolds melakukan iklan parodi untuk Ifor Williams Trailers, pada saat itu adalah satu-satunya sponsor bagi Wrexham A.F.C.[13] McElhenney dan Reynolds menghadiri pertandingan untuk pertama kali pasca menjadi pemilik klub di Maidenhead, pada pertandingan yang berakhir dengan kekalahan 3–2 di Oktober 2021.[2]

Serial ini dikatakan terinspirasi oleh Sunderland 'Til I Die, yang kemudian memberi ide kepada McElhenney untuk tertarik membali sebuah klub sepakbola,[8] dan juga pengaruh dari Humphrey Ker, yang juga tertarik membeli sebuah klub.[14] Ker disebutkan selalu menonton pertandingan sepakbola di ruangan penulis dari acara McElhenney yaitu Mythic Quest, yang mempengaruhi dan membuat ketertarikan bagi McElhenney, terutama "pada ide promosi dan demosi", yang dikatakan McElhenney "sangat luar biasa bagi saya". McElhenney juga bercanda bahwa dia hanya memiliki "uang TV" dan memerlukan "superhero, uang bintang film". Ker menjabarkan dirinya sebagai "perwakilan Rob dan Ryan" kepada klub sebagai pihak operasional internal kedua pasangan.[15] Inspirasi untuk serial dokumenter datang dari perspektif McElhenney terhadap Chef's Table, Last Chance U dan Cheer, dan realisasinya bahwa kesemua acara itu diproduksi oleh Boardwalk Pictures, yang kemudian dia dekati, untuk berpartner.[16]

Sinopsis

Serial ini berdasarkan percobaan keduanya di Hollywood untuk membangkitkan klub sepakbola tertua ketiga di dunia, didirikan pada 1864, dan bagaimana timnya bertanding dibawah kepemimpinan keduanya.[17] Kedua pasangan ini diketahui tidak memiliki pengalaman mengatur sebuah tim olahraga sebelumnya.[7] Serial ini juga akan menggarisbawahi harapan keduanya dalam memperbaiki tim dan membawa perubahan positif ke komunitas lokal Wrexham.[7][18]

Selama dan sejak pengambilalihan, Wrexham telah naik rangking di Liga Nasional. Pada National League 2019–20 (sebelum adanya pembicaraan pengambilalihan), Wrexham A.F.C. berada di peringkat ke-20,[19] dan pada musim 2020–21, Wrexham naik ke posisi ke-delapan.[20] Pada musim 2021–22, musim pertama dibawah kepemimpinan keduanya, Wrexham selesai di peringkat kedua. Namun, meskipun sebuah musim yang sukses, mereka gagal promosi ke tingkat keempat EFL League Two setelah dikalahkan di semifinal playoff promosi dan tetap berada di tingkat kelima Liga Nasional untuk musim 2022–23.[21][22]

11"Dream"N/A24 Agustus 2022 (2022-08-24)0.319[25]
During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, actor Rob McElhenney gets inspired by his Mythic Quest writing colleague Humphrey Ker to purchase Wrexham A.F.C., a Welsh association football team: while the team has an illustrious past, it has been lingering outside the English Football League for many years. To aid with the purchase, McElhenney enlists fellow actor Ryan Reynolds, and the two formally extend the offer to the club's owners, the Wrexham Supporters Trust. The news of the offer is met with confusion and some ridicule in the media, but the two insist their offer is serious – the offer is eventually voted on, and is accepted with over 90% of the vote.
22"Reality"
24 Agustus 2022 (2022-08-24)0.225[25]
With their ownership now settled, McElhenney and Reynolds – both admittedly clueless about football – bring in an expert to help aid the team: former EFL CEO Shaun Harvey is brought in as an advisor to the board, while Ker becomes executive director. As fans express their discontent with the current state of the club, and players are concerned that the new ownership might be detrimental to their career, Wrexham arrives to the final game of their season against Dag & Red: If Wrexham wins, they qualify for the NL playoffs that could result in their promotion. The team, however, goes one goal down, immediately followed by the ejection of Paul Rutherford for an irresponsible tackle. Jordan Ponticelli equalizes in the last minute, but the game ends in a draw, and Wrexham finishes the season in the eighth place, missing out on the playoffs and staying in the fifth tier for the 14th year in a row. As a result, manager Dean Keates and his staff, along with around a dozen players, are dismissed.
33"Rebuilding"N/A31 Agustus 2022 (2022-08-31)0.232[26]

After the disappointment of the 2020–21 season, the board begins to rebuild the team: Fleur Robinson from Burton Albion F.C. is brought in as CEO, and after a search for a new manager, the board sets their sights on Phil Parkinson, a manager who has achieved promotion with various teams three times in his career. Parkinson initially turns down the offer; McElhenney, however, is unsatisfied, and persuades Parkinson personally through a lengthy phone call, who ultimately signs with the club. They also sign Paul Mullin, the top scorer of League Two.

The episode also profiles Wrexham fan and single father Shaun Winter, and the club's disability liaison officer Kerry Evans.
44"Home Opener"
31 Agustus 2022 (2022-08-31)0.160[26]
The team begins the crucial 2021–22 season at home against Notts County, which ends with Mullin equalizing for a 1–1 draw. Technical problems immediately arise as it becomes apparent that the pitch, relaid for about £100,000, is falling apart, and needs to be relaid again for double the cost. McElhenney and Reynolds begin a media campaign to bring attention to the team around the world, landing sponsorships with TikTok and Expedia, and raising the profile of the club, directly translating into merchandising sales. Players begin to speculate that Mullin must've been brought in using an exorbitant signing fee, but Mullin insists that his choice was solely based on the fact that playing for Wrexham allows him to be closer to his family and young son. As the team is struggling to find its footing, McElhenney and Reynolds both admit being worried about the future.
55"Fearless"
7 September 2022 (2022-09-07)0.278[27]
The episode profiles a number of Wrexham fans: Michael "Scoot" Kett is the singer of local band The Declan Swans who is currently struggling through chemotherapy after a cancer diagnosis; Annette Gardner is a volunteer for the club who found solace in the fan community after her husband's death; Sam Halton is a teenage superfan who also plays as a goalkeeper. The team's goalkeepers, Rob Lainton and Christian Dibble, are also profiled, explaining the role of a goalie as the player whose sole mistake can decide a match; Lainton also notes his problem with injuries in the past. In a match against Chesterfield, the team concedes a penalty while one goal down, but the shot is saved by Lainton, and Mullin equalizes in the second half. The episode ends with fans expressing hope about the team, and Scoot being announced he's officially cancer-free.
66"Hamilton!"N/A7 September 2022 (2022-09-07)0.213[27]

The episode explores the past ownership of the club: When the club is sold to businessmen Alex Hamilton and Mark Guterman in 2004, it becomes apparent that the two treat the club merely as a business asset, and concoct a plan to turn the club's legendary stadium, the Racecourse Ground, into real estate; press and fans accuse Hamilton of asset stripping. Fans eventually organize a city-wide protest against Hamilton and pressure him into resigning; the club is then turned over to the Wrexham Supporters Trust, making the club fully fan-owned. While the fans view this positively, and in 2014 the supporters fundraise £127.000 in a day to keep the club from going under, it soon transpires that the Trust doesn't have the funding or focus to be able to push the club forward, and both the team and the stadium begins an inextricable slide down in quality, with one of the stands, the "Kop", being in such state of disrepair that it can no longer safely host audiences.

In present day, McElhenney and Reynolds attempt to regain ownership of the Racecourse – owned at the time by Wrexham Glyndŵr University – but are increasingly frustrated by the protracted bureaucratic process. In the end, the months-long effort is successful, the club regains the ownership of its stadium, and Harvey presents the chairmen with an architect's rendering of plans for a new, renovated "Kop" stand.
77"Wide World of Wales"N/A14 September 2022 (2022-09-14)0.242[28]
The episode focuses on the country of Wales itself with allusions and parodies of other television programmes: John Green explains the difference between Wales and the United Kingdom, and the brief history of the country; journalist and Wales native Maxine Hughes hosts a cooking show with McElhenney and Reynolds and teaches them how to make Welsh cakes; the two owners also appear in their own version of SportsCenter with a montage of the team's best plays that year so far, and finally wrap up with their own late-night talk show, hosting singer Charlotte Church, who performs "Men of Harlech".
88"Away We Go"
14 September 2022 (2022-09-14)0.142[28]

After spending months watching games from across the Atlantic, McElhenney and Reynolds finally arrive to Wales, to see Wrexham play in person against Maidenhead United F.C.; their arrival is met with an immediate media buzz, but their enthusiasm is soon crushed when the team goes two goals down and Bryce Hosannah is sent off; while the team miraculously equalizes with a man down, Maidenhead still wins after Josh Kelly's 75th minute goal. After the game, McElhenney and Reynolds both admit to each other that they weren't prepared for how emotionally taxing being present at a game is.

The episode also looks into the culture of football fans travelling for away games, and profiles defender Aaron Hayden and team bus driver Mark Vaughn.
99"Welcome Home"
21 September 2022 (2022-09-21)0.203[29]

McElhenney and Reynolds finally arrive to Wrexham: after an emotional visit to the Racecourse, they visit the town and find it flooded by fans, visit St Giles' Church, view the newly created powerchair club's practice, and end the first day with drinks with the fans at Turf Hotel; during the day they are met with appreciation and enthusiasm, but fans also give them an unvarnished expectation that the team should do well soon, because it hasn't so far – former president Spencer Harris advises them to keep a personal touch, but don't be afraid to make changes to the club.

The next day, they meet with Harvey and Parkinson to discuss their approach to the next transfer window and how they should budget for it; they then hold a press conference at the Racecourse for journalists, and visit the team during one of their training sessions. As they finally meet the players, with McElhenney jumping in to join them for a few exercises, both Parkinson and the players express that finally meeting the owners face-to-face and finding how they easy they are to get along with gave them a boost in motivation.

As the team prepares to the home game against Torquay, however, Harvey brings bad news: The league reviewed the red card at the Maidenhead game, and concluded that in fact Paul Mullin should have been sent off – Hosannah is exonerated, but Mullin is suspended for two games. McElhenney and Reynolds get to address the crowd before the game against Torquay, but the game disappointingly ends with a 1–1 draw. While the owners ultimately convey their joy of having visited Wrexham and their trust and belief in the club, the episode ends with a number of fans expressing their discontent about the season's results up to that point.
1010"Hooligans"N/A28 September 2022 (2022-09-28)0.206[30]
Police begin an investigation in Wrexham, after a Wrexham fan is assaulted by other Wrexham fans after the game against Torquay. The episode then explores the relationship between football and the so-called ultras and hooligans: A focus of the profile is Jonny Taylor, a Wrexham fan who is currently banned from the club's stadium after an incident in 2019, and his girlfriend Saskia Barkley, who is a police officer – Barkley disapproves of the way Taylor behaves, and their relationship is eventually cited as a reason why Barkley isn't promoted to detective after she fails vetting.
1111"Sack the Gaffer"
28 September 2022 (2022-09-28)0.147[30]

Twelve games into the season, Wrexham's results aren't reassuring fans about the new direction of the club; as the club deals with numerous injuries and the January transfer window nearing, McElhenney and Reynolds are faced with having to defend their long-term hiring decisions – such as coach Phil Parkinson, who is seen by fans as not living up to his promise. The owners, among themselves, wrestle with the situation and the monetary implications of it, and decide on giving Parkinson the next 10 games as a chance to prove the team's worth. McElhenney also visits the Philadelphia Eagles and asks the advice of coach Nick Sirianni and owner Jeffrey Lurie: Lurie reassures McElhenney to think long-term, even if the short-term results aren't satisfying.

The team wins seven out of the designated ten games, with two losses and a 0–0 draw against Wealdstone – the latter being a point of humorous contention for McElhenney who invites all his friends to his bar to watch the game, only it to turn out to be "so boring". The series of wins gets Wrexham up from 12th to third place, and the team demonstrates an exceptional fighting spirit against Yeovil by turning a 0–1 game around to 2–1; this reassures the fans and owners alike for the owners to greenlight Parkinson's investment into a new forward: Wimbledon's Ollie Palmer.
1212"Wins and Losses"
5 Oktober 2022 (2022-10-05)0.203[31]
Palmer's signing at £300,000 sets a new signing fee record for the team, and he immediately begins to rack up goals after revealing a great chemistry with Mullin. Wrexham local player Jordan Davies, however, is revealed to be struggling after he and his partner, Kelsey Edwards, receive news that there are serious problems with Edwards' pregnancy; their baby, Arthur, is eventually stillborn, which devastates them; they are, however, comforted by the outpouring of support from the club and fans alike, and they decide to fundraise for Sands, a charity dedicated to help parents who have suffered the same circumstances.
1313"Bad Breaks" / "Worst Team in the League"
5 Oktober 2022 (2022-10-05)0.149[31]

As Wrexham continue to march towards the top spot in the league, peripheral issues begin to arise: defender Cameron Green expresses dissatisfaction with the lack of playtime he's been getting, while goalkeeper Lainton suffers a dislocated wrist during the game against Bromley, which takes him out of the team for at least three months. This puts in Christian Dibble in goal for the remainder of the season; Dibble expresses his struggle with fans' criticism in reaction to mistakes he's made in the past.

Things come to a head at the game against last place team Dover, when Wrexham's quick 2–0 lead is suddenly met with Dover scoring five goals in a row, including a hat-trick by Michael Gyasi, with one of them coming after Dibble accidentally punches defender Ben Tozer instead of the ball. Wrexham, unbelievably, comes back into the game and wins it 6–5 due to a Jordan Davies brace in injury time, but fans continue to blame Dibble for the team's struggle.

Overall, however, the buzz around the team's potential promotion begins to grow in the city, with fans starting to experience hope again. Green and Parkinson mutually agree to release Green from his contract, and Green goes on to play for St Albans City F.C.
1414"A Hollywood Distraction"
5 Oktober 2022 (2022-10-05)0.095[31]
Reynolds arrives in Wrexham to film a commercial for 1Password with the team, to some minor chagrin of the staff, who feel it's an unnecessary distraction – McElhenney, similarly, provides humorous running commentary throughout the whole episode complaining about Reynolds going to Wrexham without him. The team gears up to the FA Trophy semi-final against Stockport: Dibble's standout performance keeps Wrexham in the game, and after a strenuous 90 minutes, Mullin suddenly wins the game for the team after scoring two goals (one assisted by Dibble) in injury time, putting Wrexham into the FA Trophy final at Wembley Stadium. A visibly emotional Reynolds, having witnessed the game in person, admits that while he initially treated Wrexham as purely as a project of philanthropy, he now finally understands the emotion behind the game of football.
1515"Daggers"
5 Oktober 2022 (2022-10-05)0.101[31]

The city and the team prepares to the last two league games of the season – the first against league leader Stockport, and the second against last year's spoilers Dag & Red. A win against Stockport at home will allow Wrexham to be in contention for the league champion title, which would result in automatic promotion into League Two – the team handily delivers the match 3–0 with Mullin scoring and a Palmer double.

Leading up to the final match, fans and staff alike are aware that Wrexham doesn't control its own destiny: If, in the game played simultaneously to Wrexham's, Stockport defeats Halifax, no matter how Wrexham's game finishes, they can only place second and will be forced to play in the playoffs for promotion. This nightmare scenario soon becomes reality as fans watching both games soon become aware that Stockport takes an early lead in their game; while a deflated Wrexham finishes the Dag & Red game with a 0–3 loss, the supporters continue to give the team a standing ovation, now fully confident in their team for the remaining matches.
1616"Hello Wembley"
12 Oktober 2022 (2022-10-12)0.282[32]

Wrexham arrives to Wembley Stadium for the 2022 FA Trophy final against Bromley; the attendance also sees Will Ferrell, Kit Harington, David Beckham, Jason Sudeikis, as well as McElhenney's and Reynolds' wives Kaitlin Olson and Blake Lively; with the city of Wrexham fully and vehemently behind the team, both McElhenney and Reynolds admit they underestimated the weight of playing at Wembley.

The match itself proves difficult, with both teams giving the best they got, with goalkeepers Christian Dibble and Ellery Balcombe instrumental in keeping the game goalless, until Bromley striker Michael Cheek scores in the 64th minute; McElhenney notes that he's not yet seen Wrexham win in person. Desperate to win, Parkinson substitutes in striker Jake Hyde, who in the last minute finds a stray ball and equalizes with a diving header – only to be disallowed due to offside. Bromley goes on to win minutes later, much to the crushing disappointment of fans and staff alike.

Beckham suggests to the owners to go down and talk to the deflated team, which they do; fans, while let down, continue to express their support and excitement for the final stretch of the season.
1717"Wromance"N/A12 Oktober 2022 (2022-10-12)0.245[32]

After footage of McElhenney embracing Reynolds – instead of Olson, his wife – at the FA Trophy final goes viral, McElhenney and Reynolds dedicates the episode to explore platonic relationships between men, bringing in author Liz Plank to help explain the dynamics of their "bromance"; Plank contends that societal pressures keep men from being able to express affection towards each other, as it isn't deemed "masculine" enough, and that sports allows a safe space to be able to do that.

The episode also explores the paternal relationship lineage, and how sports is used as a conduit for men to spend time with their fathers and sons: Reynolds, McElhenney, Parkinson, Davies, Winter, Halton, Scoot and Wrexham fan and DVD-shop owner Rob Clarke all admit that their interest in sports was always driven by their respective fathers; in a vignette, Racecourse groundskeeper Paul "Chal" Chaloner is shown to act as a father figure to his apprentice Harry Jones.
1818"Do or Die"
12 Oktober 2022 (2022-10-12)0.197[32]

With the season and the FA Trophy final behind them, Wrexham arrives to its biggest challenge yet under the new ownership: the playoff semi-finals against Grimsby – whoever wins gets to play in the playoff finals for promotion. Grimsby chair Jason Stockwood describes Grimsby as a town and club with a similar background to Wrexham, and muses about whether McElhenney and Reynolds will be there for the club when the wins don't come and fans turn against them. The owners and Harvey discuss the financial necessity to win the playoffs: The National League provides no membership residuals to clubs playing, but the EFL does, which means Wrexham loses about a million pounds each year they're not in the EFL. It becomes more apparent than ever: Wrexham must win.

The match kicks off – interspersed with interviews with fans and players – and becomes a frenzied game of back-and-forth: Mullin takes the lead for Wrexham with an early penalty, but Grimsby striker John McAtee quickly equalizes, leading into an 1–1 half time. In the second half, former Wrexham defender Luke Waterfall puts Grimsby in the lead, but Tozer puts Wrexham back level again. Then it's Mullin putting Wrexham ahead with 3–2, but Grimsby equalizes after Ryan Taylor's header, and then Emmanuel Dieseruvwe takes the lead for Grismby, with Davies equalizing to a 4–4 full time. In extra time, both teams struggle to overcome the other, until Waterfall is left unmarked in the final minute and heads the ball into the goal for a 5–4 victory for Grimsby – Grimsby eventually goes on to win the playoffs and be promoted to League Two, while Wrexham stays in the National League.

While the team is devastated, McElhenney tells them that what they achieved is more important: they gave the entire community of Wrexham hope for the future, and the city is now fully behind the football team – fans admit that despite the defeat, they have hope and optimism about going in to the next season.

12 September 2023 (2023-09-12)

Following the failure to get promoted out of non-league in the 2021–22 season, Wrexham A.F.C. doubles down on ensuring the best roster to achieve promotion: Mark Howard is brought in as a new goalkeeper to replace an injured Lainton and a departing Dibble, while midfielder Elliot Lee arrives to strengthen the offensive line – Lee immediately turns a match against Eastleigh around, but Howard struggles to get a good start for the season. Fans continue to remain hopeful, and embrace the club's sudden international exposure, which helps the town financially, but the board of directors is worried that the club becomes unsustainable if promotion isn't achieved this year, based on the expenses to build a competitive squad and renovate the stadium.

King Charles III arrives to honor Wrexham becoming a city, and visits the Racecourse Ground; Reynolds and McElhenney, after going through a crash course on royal etiquette, hope that the visit helps their bid to the Levelling Up Fund to renovate the Kop stand be viewed more favourable; while the full renovation would require £20 million, running out of time, they fund the initial demolition of the old Kop themselves. McElhenney continues to be frustrated by the British bureaucracy, and their bid is eventually rejected, leaving the Kop renovation in limbo.
202"The Quiet Zone"
19 September 2023 (2023-09-19)
This episode profiles Millie Tipping who is a teenage Wrexham fan diagnosed with autism at an early age. She uses her Wrexham fandom as an outlet for her condition; her mother notes that after she was cut from the football team, something which gave her stability and socialization, she began to withdraw but being a fan allowed her to be more confident and outgoing. Similarly, Mullin shares his struggles about his young son, Albi, who was also diagnosed with nonverbal autism. When Mullin goes public with the diagnosis, and adorns his boots with his son's name, it encourages Tipping to approach Mullin and bond over their shared situation. She then gives him a goodie bag of things for Albi that help her cope with her condition and her prediction of a 5–0 victory comes true.
213"Nott Yet"
19 September 2023 (2023-09-19)

Eleven games into the season, Wrexham is top of the league with nearly no contest in sight; supporters of other clubs are ambivalent about the Hollywood injection: while some see it as pay-to-win and an additional motivation to beat Wrexham, others appreciate the positive effects on the communities and non-league football as a whole. Wrexham's perfect season, however, is spoiled by an unexpected rival: Notts County and their star striker Macaulay Langstaff, who have been on Wrexham's heels in the table. As their first head-to-head arrives at Meadow Lane, everyone is keenly aware that the two teams will likely decide the championship among themselves, and that their first clash is critical to the rest of the season. In the match, Langstaff takes the lead for Notts early, and Mullin's response in the second half is called offside, leaving the away game as a 1–0 loss.

The episode also profiles Mark Griffiths, the long-time commentator of Wrexham's games; it also shows The Declan Swans record a new song "Mullin 10", which Mullin himself is shown approving of in the studio.
224"Shaun's Vacation"
26 September 2023 (2023-09-26)

After a year of work, Harvey finally gets to go on holiday to Tenerife with his wife, leaving Ker in charge. Immediately on the first day of Harvey's absence, McElhenney arrives to Wrexham to film a prank for Reynolds' birthday involving a blimp with Reynolds' face - in character as the scarred version of Deadpool - on it, violating Welsh aviation law. The next day, during an away match against Boreham Wood, unaware of the 3pm blackout law, McElhenney suggests putting the private live feed from the documentary cameras up on the televisions in The Turf. In both cases, Ker reluctantly contacts the vacationing Harvey to intervene.

Two days later, Mullin posts an Instagram photo of his new boots emblazoned with the phrase "F*** THE TORIES", causing a national uproar, worsened by the photo being taken at the Racecourse and Reynolds putting a like on it, both of which imply a club endorsement. In the resulting public relations chaos, Harvey threatens to cut his vacation short and travel back to Wrexham, but Ker successfully implores Reynolds to get McElhenney to talk Harvey out of it and let the club do damage control. Ultimately, McElhenney witnesses a 3–1 win against Halifax.
235"First Losers"
26 September 2023 (2023-09-26)

As Wrexham trails Notts County on the league table, fans worry that the team will once again "do a Wrexham" and let victory slip in the last minute, as it has happened many times during the club's history. McElhenney similarly muses on his past year where he has watched Wrexham place second both in the National League and the FA Trophy, Wrexham A.F.C. Women place second in the Adran North, Philadelphia Union place second in both the MLS league and the MLS Cup, the Philadelphia Phillies lose in the World Series, and the Philadelphia Eagles lose Super Bowl LVII – most of which he witnessed in person.

The episode interviews people who demonstrated a desire to win despite setbacks: Actress Susan Lucci - known for having 19 Emmy nominations for Lead Actress before winning one - describes using her losses as a motivation to work harder; newcomer Wrexham defender Jacob Mendy talks about being a Gambian immigrant to Spain and the United Kingdom, and working as a cleaner and construction worker while pursuing a football career; and Dorking Wanderers owner/manager Marc White tells the story of creating his club from scratch and going from the Crawley and District Football League (then the 17th tier of English football) to the National League, gaining a record setting 12 promotions in 23 years in the process.

While the Wrexham men's team is chasing promotion, the women's team is aiming to do the same, trying to qualify to the Adran Premier, which would allow the team to go semi-professional, as opposed to their current amateur status: lead goalscorer Rosie Hughes works in HM Prison Berwyn as a guard, while child prodigy midfielder Lili Jones works as a kitchen porter. The players also have deep Wrexham connections: Jones' father, Gareth "Powsy" Jones, was a dedicated Wrexham fan before his suicide in early 2021, while defender[b] Mia Roberts is the daughter of Wrexham legend Neil Roberts, captain of the ill-fated team who were relegated to the National League in 2008.

Under the management of Gemma and Gareth Owen, the team is looking to have a perfect season, despite the substantially smaller crowds and destitute conditions they play in; after defeating season rival Connah's Quay, the team clinches the top spot of Adran North in a staggering 1–11 win against Rhyl, and earns the chance to compete in the promotion playoffs against Briton Ferry Llansawel A.F.C..
257"Giant Killers"
10 Oktober 2023 (2023-10-10)

Concurrent to the National League, Wrexham competes in the FA Cup, a single-elimination tournament with every English football club from all tiers participating; over the decades, Wrexham has become known for its "giant killings", unexpectedly eliminating much higher tier teams, such as the surprise 1991 victory against Arsenal. The team is drawn together in the third round with Coventry City, an EFL Championship team three tiers above Wrexham, with Coventry playing home. During the match, Wrexham goes into the game with tremendous energy, with Sam Dalby and Elliot Lee taking an early lead, and Tom O'Connor and Mullin rounding it up to a 4-1 by the 60th minute; the match tightens, however, when Coventry closes up to 4-3, and it takes Howard's last moment saves to keep the score as a victory - as both McElhenney and Reynolds are watching from the United States, an unexpected ESPN broadcast disruption adds to their anxiety, but the team eventually prevails. The town is ecstatic about the results, and everyone looks forward to the next opponent in the fourth round: Sheffield United, a team who also plays in the EFL Championship, but is expected to be promoted to the Premier League.

The game at the Racecourse starts nightmarish: Oli McBurnie takes the lead for Sheffield in the second minute, and both centre-backs Hayden and Jordan Tunnicliffe have to come off with an injury. With a 0–1 half time, the team comes out aggressively to the second half, and James Jones eventually equalizes. O'Connor takes the lead for Wrexham, but Oliver Norwood brings Sheffield up level; Sheffield's Daniel Jebbison is sent off for running into Tozer. Mullin puts victory and another giant killing in reach with a 86th minute goal, but John Egan equalizes for Sheffield in injury time, sending the two teams to a replay at Bramall Lane; despite the disappointment, a visibly shaken Reynolds, who witnessed the game in person, on the verge of tears tells the players in the locker room that what they have achieved that day is extraordinary. In the replay, Wrexham holds up for most of the game, but loses 3–1 in injury time; both fans and the team agree that they have more than measured up to their opponent, pointing to Sheffield captain Billy Sharp who taunts Wrexham supporters after the final whistle, and gives some incensed remarks to the press, which he is eventually fined for by The FA.

Now eliminated from the Cup, the team turns its focus back on getting promoted out of the National League.
268"The Grind"
17 Oktober 2023 (2023-10-17)

In the manic race against Notts County, as a result of a number of match postponements due to the FA Cup run, pitch conditions, and the passing of Queen Elizabeth, Wrexham has to face nine matches in the period of a month, with two matches per week; the physical demand gradually increases the number of injuries on the team. Midfielder Anthony Forde eventually goes on hiatus when his brother is diagnosed with leukemia, and his wife is diagnosed with a brain tumor and loses some motor function on her left side of the body. Before the match against Southend, temperature drops to −24 °C (−11 °F) and the entire Racecourse pitch freezes with a thick layer of snow; as the match cannot be postponed, the club calls on everyone on club management, staff and fans to help with the chore of shoveling the snow; around fifty people, including Harvey, Parkinson, Gemma Owen, and women's captain Kim Dutton, take part in the operation and clean the snow off the pitch by noon; the team wins later that day, collecting 23 points from the possible 27 in the nine games, finally taking over Notts at the top of the table by four points with ten games to go.

The episode profiles team captain Luke Young, detailing his "workhorse" mentality and immense physical work statistics per game, and returns to profile fan Shaun Winter, who reflects on his appearances in the previous season of the show, how they helped him face his alcoholism, and his current efforts as a coach for his son's football team.
279"Glove Triangle"
17 Oktober 2023 (2023-10-17)

After a year-long injury, Lainton returns to take back the number one goalkeeper spot from Howard; while Howard has been having an outstanding season, he's supportive of Lainton. At a match against Bromley at Hayes Lane - the same place where Lainton was injured with a concussion in 2020 and a fractured wrist in 2022 - during a seemingly routine kick nearing half time, Lainton feels a pain in his knee: during half time, physio Mulholland immediately diagnoses a torn MCL. Lainton is subbed off for Howard, and is forced to miss the rest of the season.

Both fans and staff continue to trust Howard, but the club wants to ensure squad depth in the position, and takes an opportunity to sign retired former England national Ben Foster; Foster credits Wrexham for kickstarting his legendary professional career, having played for the club in 2005, but has been retired for nine months at the age of 40, and has been spending his time running a successful YouTube channel and - like Howard - a podcast. Media and football fans are skeptical of the move, labeling it a "money grab", but Foster makes it clear on his podcast that his financial terms on the contract are modest, and that his main motivation is to get the club promoted. Howard openly supports Foster becoming the number one, also arguing that promotion is the main goal, and the two discuss the situation on Howard's podcast.

In Foster's first match against York City, he keeps a clean sheet contributing to a 3–0 win; both him and fans speculate that the team may be good enough not just for League Two but League One. For that to happen though, the team first has to win the next two games against Halifax, and, more critically, against their season nemesis: Notts County.
2810"Gresford"
24 Oktober 2023 (2023-10-24)

The episode explores the relationship of the football club and the memory of the tragedy of the Gresford Colliery: on 22 September, 1934, a gas explosion in the Gresford coal mine causes the mine to cave in, trapping and killing 266 men - men who traded their shifts to be able to witness a Wrexham football match earlier that day.

McElhenney and his father visits the memorial and learns about the event; McElhenney's father explains that his great-grandfather was also a miner in Donegal, but also draws a parallel with the working class lives that have been lost in the Vietnam war. They learn that while one of the colliery wheels from the mine have been restored as a memorial, the other is currently abandoned; McElhenney explains his plans to restore the wheel and place it behind the renovated Kop, to connect the memory of the tragedy closer to the club.

On the match played on the anniversary of the disaster, Wrexham beats Torquay 6-0, as the crowd sings along to "Yma o Hyd".
2911"Yn Codi"[c]
24 Oktober 2023 (2023-10-24)

As the women's team prepares for their final league game to set a historic 100% win record, another record is in sight: The club arranges for the game to be played at the Racecourse, allowing the team to set an attendance record for a women's football game in Wales. The players all express anxiety about the chance to play in front of such a large home crowd, and the stadium eventually is filled with 9,511 ticket holders - near double the previous record. At the game, T.J. Dickens chips Connah's Quay keeper Grace Murphy in the fifth minute to get Wrexham the lead, but Ella Harvey equalizes soon after; Wrexham eventually wins the game by a half-pitch solo run by Hughes, setting the win record, and preparing the team for the eventual Adran playoff final against Briton Ferry Llansawel A.F.C..

The playoff game, taking place at Latham Park, proves to be the toughest challenge the team faced, and Wrexham - for the first time in the season - is forced to defend, with some goalkeeping heroics by Delyth Morgan. In the second half, Hughes locks on a stray ball and her cross is deflected into the goal by Rebecca Pritchard; Briton Ferry applies tremendous pressure in the remainder of the game, but Morgan keeps a clean sheet, and the team eventually finishes with a 1–0 win, earning promotion to the top Welsh women's football league, the Adran Premier.
3012"Hand of Foz"
31 Oktober 2023 (2023-10-31)

With five rounds remaining in the season, both Wrexham and Notts County are both on track to break the 103 point record set by Fleetwood in 2012, but everyone is aware that whoever wins the head-to-head encounter is likely to earn automatic promotion; Wrexham's confidence is shaken when three days before the Notts game, the seemingly routine away match against Halifax turns out to be a shocking 1-3 loss. McElhenney and Reynolds arrive in Wales for the match, and are awarded Freedom of the Borough for Wrexham, but both them, the players, and the fans admit they can only ever focus on the upcoming title race; management reiterates that promotion at this point is necessary to keep the club financially sustainable.

In the match on Easter Monday, the first half brings a tense battle, with Wrexham disputing many of referee Scott Tallis' calls; just as the half is about to end, John Bostock scores for Notts from a free kick. Wrexham comes out full swing in the second half, with Mullin equalizing and Mendy taking the lead, but Kyle Cameron brings County level. Lee takes the lead for Wrexham again, but six minutes into added time, the referee awards Notts County a penalty after Eoghan O'Connell's handball. Fans and staff watch in horror as Cedwyn Scott steps up to take the penalty, but Foster dives the right way and saves the shot, winning the game for Wrexham, and putting promotion now in direct reach.
3113"Family Business"N/A7 November 2023 (2023-11-07)

The episode focuses on some of the family relationships of the people around the club: Reynolds's mother Tamara admits being the emotional support for her children, acknowledging that their father Jim had difficulties being emotionally connected; CEO Robinson talks about her heritage at Burton Albion where her father Ben is chairman; Lee talks about his father 21-time English international Rob Lee.

Ollie Palmer admits to similarities in the difficulties of his current life - commuting between London and Wrexham, and having less time with his family as a result - to his growing up where his father Andy Palmer, a Protection Officer to the British royal family, had often had to sacrifice his family time to his job. Andy eventually divorced Ollie's mum Sue, after admitting to himself that he was a closeted homosexual; after the initial shock, all three maintain a good relationship today, and Ollie talks about feeling a kinship to McElhenney, whose mother also came out of the closet.
3214"Worst Case Scenario"
7 November 2023 (2023-11-07)

After a scoreless draw against Barnet, Wrexham must win at least two games of the upcoming three for promotion; management reiterates that they effectively gambled their financial plan on getting promoted, and bring in sponsors to offset the cost. McElhenney develops a stye under his eye from the stress.

Forde returns to the team after his six-week sabbatical; he highlights that Reynolds helped him and his partner get a second opinion on her tumor, and that the results were reassuring. The team prepares for the game against 22nd place Yeovil, an easy win in theory, with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia cast members Olson, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day in attendance for the match. The team keeps the pressure up in the match, but half-time still ends scoreless after many missed chances. Forde finally breaks the deadlock in the 60th minute, with Jones and Mullin rounding up the score to a 3–0 home win, putting Wrexham just one win away from the coveted promotion.
3315"Up the Town?"
14 November 2023 (2023-11-14)

With only three points remaining to promotion, Wrexham faces Boreham Wood at the Racecourse – Boreham Wood is widely believed to have the league's best defense and best goalkeeper, Nathan Ashmore. Notts County players Langstaff, Bostock, Scott and head coach Luke Williams talk about the risk of the playoffs; Williams also talks about consoling Scott about his missed penalty against Wrexham.

The decisive match against Boreham Wood begins with an immediate shock as Lee Ndlovu lobs Foster and takes the lead for the visitors with less than a minute played. Wrexham begins to apply pressure against a tenacious Boreham Wood defense, and Lee equalizes in the 15th minute, leading to an 1–1 half-time. In the second half, the pressure eventually breaks through as Mullin scores twice, putting Wrexham minutes away from the coveted promotion. When referee Scott Jackson blows the final whistle at 3–1, emotions run high as the euphoric supporters invade the pitch, carrying the players on their shoulders, with the 15 year curse ending with Wrexham's promotion back to the football league.

In the epilogue, 40,000 people show up for the celebratory open top bus parade for both the men's and women's teams' promotions – in attendance is Davies, with his newborn daughter, who was born on the morning of the parade – and Notts also achieves promotion in Wembley against Chesterfield after Scott scores the winning penalty in the shootout.

Produksi

Pengembangan

Serial ini diproduksi oleh Boardwalk Pictures, perusahaan dibelakang Last Chance U dan Chef's Table.[17] Maximum Effort, sebuah perusahaan film yang didanai oleh Reynolds juga turut ikut memproduksi dan memasarkan serial ini.[33] FX telah meminta dua musim untuk acara ini.[7][18] McElhenney mengkonfirmasi rencana untuk musim kedua, setelah rilis keseluruhan episode dari musim pertama, pada 13 Oktober 2022.[34] Produser eksekutif acara ini adalah Rob McElhenney, Ryan Reynolds, Nick Frenkel, John Henion, Andrew Fried, Dane Lillegard, George Dewey dan Sarina Roma.[6][18][35] Henion juga merupakan pengarah acara untuk musim 1,[35] dengan Bryan Rowland dan Josh Drisko menjalankan musim 2.[36]

Alex Webb dari Bloomberg News mengestimasi bahwa acara ini akan memberikan Reynolds dan McElhenney pendapatan sekitar £600,000, yang akan berpengaruh lumayan untuk budget klub pada tahun itu.[37]

Syuting

Syuting untuk serial dokumenter ini dimulai pada Desember 2020,[10] dengan kru film tampil bersama pemilik saat berkunjung pertama kali mengunjungi tim pada pertandingan Wrexham v. Maidenhead United F.C. pada Oktober 2021.[38][39] Pada sebuah wawancara dengan Variety, Reynolds mengakui bahwa dia awalnya tidak nyaman dengan pengaturan dokumenter yang mengakses segalanya.[40] Diskusi mengenai pergantian pemain direkam oleh kamera, namun akhirnya dipotong, untuk menjaga fokus pada efeknya terhadap pemain.[40]

Post-production

For Season 1, sound recordings for the matches were done with single mono microphones, which were then mixed in post to sound wider and represent the larger crowds better; Season 2 will feature full surround sound recordings.[41] Editors found the first episode of the show challenging to plan, and ended up leaving most of the footage from the 2020-2021 season on the cutting room floor.[42] The editors room had a mix of football fans and non-fans, which helped with balancing the match highlights with the human stories.[43]

Pemasaran

Musim 1

The all-access "fly on the wall" docuseries was first announced by McElhenney and Reynolds on May 18, 2021.[44][45][46] Later that month, an announcement trailer for the series was released onto Reynolds' YouTube channel, titled "Welcome to Wrexham". The roughly two-minute parody sketch comedy involves McElhenney and Reynolds announcing the docuseries, as well as former BBC News and S4C journalist Maxine Hughes, who acts as a "pretty disgruntled" Welsh language translator for the pair, but adds some "creative" translations to the pair's words.[47][48][49][50][51]

Pada Desember 2021, FX merilis sebuah video promosi untuk serial ini, berjudul "It's Never Sunny in Wrexham".[52] Klip pendek berdurasi 30 detik melibatkan orang orang yang mirip dengan pemeran It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, termasuk orang yang mirip dengan Danny DeVito, dengan latar di Turf Hotel berlokasi disebelah Stadion milik Wrexham A.F.C's Racecourse Ground.[6][53] Pada klip ini, orang orang yang mirip melihat dalam kebingungan pada layar televisi yang menampilkan pemeran asli dari serial Amerika McElhenney, melihat dari belakang dari Irish bar di Philadelphia. Klip ini juga menampilkan kedua pemilik. Adegan yang melibatkan orang yang mirip dengan pemeran dan kedua pemilik direkam pada Oktober 2021 ketika kedua pemilik mengunjungi Wrexham.[6][53] When the lookalike of Danny DeVito visited Wrexham, he was confused for the real actor.[52][54] Describing the series, Nick Grad, FX Entertainment's original programming president said "Rob and Ryan will take fans inside the sport as never before, pairing their genuine love for the game with the welcome challenge of building on the heritage of this club".[18][55]

Pada 20 Juli 2022, cuplikan resmi untuk program ini dirilis.[56][57] Sinopsis resmi serial ini menyatakan "Dari Hollywood ke Wales, dari pinggir lapangan ke ruangan loker, dari ruang kerja ke pub, Welcome to Wrexham akan mengikuti Rob dan Ryan kursus kilat sebagai pemilik kub sepakbola dan crash course in football club ownership and the Nasib tim dan kota yang terkait erat mengandalkan dua aktor untuk membawa harapan serius dan perubahan pada komunitas yang dapat menggunakannya".[58]

Tanggal untuk rilis internasional lainnya belum diumumkan tetapi diharapkan akan muncul di Star+ di Amerika Latin dan Disney+ (dibawah panji Star) di beberapa wilayah.[65][66] Diatur akan dirilis sebagai program Star Original diluar Amerika Serikat.[57]

Seminggu setelah debut episode terakhir musim pertama, McElhenney dan Reynolds mengkonfirmasi di Twitter bahwa musim kedua sedang dikerjakan.[67] Hal ini dikonfirmasi oleh Disney pada April 2023 setelah Wrexham mendapatkan promosi ke EFL League Two.[68] Musim kedua debut pada 12 September 2023, di Amerika Serikat, dan hari berikutnya di Hulu dan secara internasional di Disney+.[69]
