Wrexham AFC is just one step away from the Premier League after three consecutive promotions, and FX has picked up three more seasons of "Welcome to Wrexham," the docuseries about the team co-owned by actors Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds.

Season 5 of the series premieres on FX in May and will follow the team's 2025-26 season in the EFL Championship, the second tier of English soccer. Mac and Reynolds bought a majority stake in the club in 2020, when it was in the fifth tier.

“A three-season order for a TV series is nearly unheard of and is only possible through the ground-breaking work of our Emmy-winning documentary team and the relentless rise of Wrexham AFC and all those working so hard to make sports history,” said Mac and Reynolds in a statement.

“We are forever grateful to our equally fearless and tireless partners at FX for being with us every step of the way. We are so happy we get to keep telling the Wrexham story for years to come"

As of April 10, Wrexham sit seventh in the league, two points off the sixth-place spot that would earn the team a spot in the playoffs for promotion to the Premier League.

“When we launched Welcome to Wrexham, we never imagined the impact it would have on the club and the town while creating one of TV’s most successful and beloved docuseries,” said FX Entertainment president Nick Grad. “This three-season renewal is a testament to the vision of Rob and Ryan and the enduring connection they’ve built with fans around the world.”
