Welcome to Wrexham is back for a fifth season and promises to be arguably the best one yet.

The award-winning docuseries has followed the club during its remarkable rise under Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, which has taken in a rise from non-League to the second tier of professional soccer in just three years.

Welcome to Wrexham has been a huge success, not only thanks to the incredible sporting story it has followed, but also through emotional storytelling and the loyal local community it has showcased to the rest of the world in such an open and honest way.

The latest series will follow the Wrexham men’s first team across their first season back in the EFL Championship since 1982, the highest level the club has ever played at in its 162-year history, while the women’s side goes in search of its first-ever Welsh League title.

No matter what happens, the show has already been renewed for three more seasons, which will follow the Red Dragons on their continued rise through 2029.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac Preview Season 5

Speaking ahead of the release of Welcome to Wrexham Season 5, co-chairmen Reynolds and Mac spoke of their honor in bringing the Wrexham story to a worldwide audience.

“We’ve earned the trust of the town, and the reward is that the people are incredibly forthcoming when it comes to the doc,” Reynolds told ABC. “They really share their hearts and their stories in a vulnerable way because they know the story will be told responsibly and that we are here to listen and share their story.”

Those thoughts were echoed by Mac, who added: “I feel a profound responsibility to the town and to the club to be honest, to point a spotlight and a camera in their direction. It has been a great honor for us. To be rewarded in the way that we have is incredible, but it is not us: it is the doc team and the members of that town who open themselves up.”
