Welcome To Wrexham (Series 1): Trailer, certificate and where to watch
How two Hollywood A-listers came to the rescue of Wrexham FC
Year: 2022
Certificate: 15
In 2020, Wrexham AFC became one of the most famous football clubs in the world. Not because they'd won the Champions League or won promotion, or even pulled off a particularly impressive spot of FA Cup giant-killing.
No, their sudden brush with celebrity came because Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney had just bought the club. But why did the Deadpool star and one of the blokes from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia decide to back Wrexham AFC? And could their hands-on, community-based approach really work?
This cheery documentary follows what happens when movie-star glamour comes to North Wales and builds into something very real and uplifting as it goes on. It's also a fascinating and genuinely innovative television premise, in that the show itself was actually conceived as a way of financing the club - not just to document the process. (18 episodes)
