Just over four years ago, actors Ryan Reynolds and Ryan McElhenney decided to swap the rolling hills of Hollywood for wet and windy Wales when they purchased soccer club Wrexham A.F.C.

Since the takeover, the club, which is the third-oldest in world soccer, has gone from strength-to-strength, earning back-to-back promotions from the English fifth tier to the third.

Judging on their performances so far this season, a third promotion in three years is now very much on the cards, which, if achieved, would leave the Red Dragons just one step away from the Premier League.

Wrexham's rapid rise under Reynolds and McElhenney has been captured every step of the way in the hugely popular FX series "Welcome to Wrexham," which has earned critical acclaim and had its third season air earlier this year.

Will it be back for a fourth season, though? Here's everything we know so far.

Yes, "Welcome to Wrexham" has been renewed for a fourth season.

The news was announced by Reynolds and McElhenny during Disney’s 2024 upfront presentation back in May, just two weeks after the show's third season started airing.

“Wrexham AFC has exceeded all expectations on the pitch and with fans, scoring back-to-back promotions under the leadership of Rob and Ryan and rising to compete in League One next season,” said Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment.

“’Welcome to Wrexham’ is scoring big too, winning five Emmy Awards and a fourth season that will continue to document the team’s remarkable journey and its impact on the Wrexham community and growing legion of fans worldwide," he added.

When Will Season 4 of "Welcome to Wrexham" Air?

"Welcome to Wrexham" Season 4 will premiere on May 15, 2025.

According to Deadline, the first two episodes of the new season will air on FX on at 9 p.m. ET/PT, while repeats will be available on Hulu the following day.

The excitement is officially kicking in. FX's Welcome to Wrexham Season 4 arrives May 15. Next day on Hulu.

What Can Fans Expect From "Welcome to Wrexham" Season 4 to Cover?

"Welcome to Wrexham" Season 4 will, barring an extremely unlikely change in format, cover the Welsh club's 2024/25 campaign in League One.

The season, which is Wrexham's first back in the English third tier in a decade, began with the team's 5,000th-ever league match.

Held at Wrexham's home stadium, the Racecourse Ground, Phil Parkinson's side won the game against Wycombe Wanderers 3-2 courtesy of a late winner from forward Steven Fletcher. Reynolds was in the stands watching.

With just a few weeks of the season now remaining, the Red Dragons are well in the race for a third promotion on the bounce. The first of League One's automatic promotion places has already been secured by Birmingham City, but Wrexham currently lead the large for the second, sitting three points ahead of third-placed Wycombe Wanderers, whom they beat 1-0 in March.

Other talking points from the season so far include the Allyn family of New York being announced as a new minority investor in October; the club's draw with Chelsea during a pre-season tour of North America; and the broadcast of a game against Barnsley in a state of the art shared reality theater in Los Angeles.

Wrexham's women's team, which has been featured in the show since the second season, will likely be spotlighted again in Season 4, too.

The team was promoted to the Adran Premier, formerly the Welsh Premier Women's League, for the first-ever time in 2023. After a difficult start to the season that saw them lose six of their first nine games, Steve Dale's side has since found its feet, managing to qualify for the play-offs.

Wrexham made a number of statement signings in the summer after gaining promotion to League One, including the acquisitions of goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo from Arsenal and midfielder Ollie Rathbone from Rotherham United, both of whom have been regular features for the team this season.

The club also broke its club record transfer fee to bring in striker Modou Faal from West Bromwich Albion.

Wrexham's most notable signing of the season, however, came in January in the form of former Premier League and England striker Jay Rodriguez, who signed from Burnley on an 18-month deal. Though it took him 10 games to find the net as a Wrexham player, Rodriguez has since emerged as a key figure in the club's promotion race both on and off the pitch.

On the women's side of things, Wrexham signed striker Abbie Iddenden on a one-year deal in September. The 24-year-old, who previously played in the USA for Limestone University, scored five goals in her first eight games for the club.

Will There be a Season 5 of "Welcome to Wrexham"?

According to British actor Humphrey Ker, Wrexham's executive director, as of March 2025, "Welcome to Wrexham" has not yet been confirmed for a fifth season.

“We can’t really control how much more of that we get. It still does very well, wins Emmys, does all sorts of stuff that you would hope would make it a big tick for FX and Hulu. But, who knows?" Ker revealed during an appearance on the Fearless in Devotion podcast.

“The TV industry is very volatile," he said. "Albeit, being a successful show that is on TV is to your advantage as they will be like, ‘People like this so we may as well keep it going.' But we don’t know if there will be a Season 5 yet."

Ker added that while he would love to see more seasons of the show—even if Wrexham were relegated, which he said "would make an even more compelling season of television"—he acknowledges that if the club continues climbing the leagues, the show may no longer be necessary.

“The further up we go in the pyramid, the less of a problem it becomes because you receive so much more exposure and coverage,” he explained. “The great thing is that with the time we’ve already had on the documentary, the U.S. tours, and everything else we’ve done, we’ve [already] locked people into a long-term relationship [with the club] in that regard.”
