WELCOME TO WREXHAM Renewed for Season 5 at FX; Spinoff NECAXA With Eva Longoria Sets Summer Premiere — GeekTyrant
The FX docuseries Welcome to Wrexham , which follows Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny's ownership of Welsh soccer team Wrexham AFC, has been renewed for a fifth season. FX has also set a summer premiere for Necaxa , a new docuseries from the Welcome to Wrexham producers. Following their success with Wrexham AFC, Reynolds and McElhenny bought a stake in Mexico's Club Necaxa. That July, FX greenlit a Wrexham -style docuseries about the soccer team, which Eva Longoria also has a stake in. Per a new synopsis, Necaxa sees Longoria work to 'reignite the soul of one of Mexico's oldest and most storied football clubs' with Reynolds and McElhenny's help. The series follows 'a turbulent, transformational time marked by staff shake-ups, career-defining injuries and the relentless grit of a football team determined to defy expectations and deliver hope to its city of Aguascalientes, Mexico. Once a powerhouse in Mexican football, Club Necaxa has spent decades navigating instability including relocations, relegation battles and near-constant reinvention. Though its legacy has flickered in and out of the national spotlight, a passionate core of diehard supporters continues to believe, clinging to the dream that their beloved 'Rayos' will one day rise again.' Season 5 of Welcome to Wrexham will follow the club's upcoming debut in the EFL Championship after its third consecutive promotion. Season 4 is currently airing, having premiered on May 15. via: Variety

Welcome to Wrexham documentary series renewed for fifth season
Welcome to Wrexham, the documentary charting the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has been renewed for a fifth series. Broadcast in the U.S. on FX and on Disney+ in the UK, the show has proved a huge hit since first airing in 2022. A fourth series is currently midway through it's run, charting the 2024-25 EFL League One season that ends in Wrexham clinching an unprecedented third consecutive promotion. Advertisement This latest success means Phil Parkinson's side will be competing in the Championship come August, meaning the club will be just one level below the Premier League. After confirmation that a fifth series has now been commissioned, the Welcome to Wrexham cameras will once again follow the team, the players and the supporters through the 2025-26 season. Also confirmed on Wednesday are details of a new TV spin-off docuseries venture involving Reynolds and McElhenney. Necaxa will focus on the Mexican club of the same name, effectively an extension of the 'Welcome to…' franchise after Wrexham's two Hollywood owners were brought on board by Eva Longoria last year to help revive the fortunes of the Liga MX outfit in a similar vein to what has happened in north Wales. Like Welcome to Wrexham, the bilingual show promises plenty of behind-the-scenes access along with a focus on supporters and the local community, as well as an ownership team headed by Desperate Housewives star Longoria. As for the Welsh club, news of a fifth series is another huge boost. Welcome to Wrexham has helped transform a previously provincial football club into a global brand that has now soared from the National League to the Championship. The club receives no money from the show. But it has long been considered by the hierarchy as Wrexham's 'biggest commercial asset' due to how the spotlight afforded by the show has lured a host of big money sponsors on board. United Airlines, SToK Cold Brew Coffee, Meta and HP are among the list of companies that have helped Wrexham's annual revenue soar in recent years to £26.7 million in the last available set of accounts for the 2023-24 financial year. Those figures also revealed how 52 per cent of income now comes from overseas, the vast majority from North America.
