The unlikely story of Wrexham AFC, shepherded by Hollywood owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, continues this Thursday on FX. “Welcome to Wrexham” returns for its fourth season, and if “Disney FC,” the title of this week’s episode, is any indication, there’s some emotional turbulence ahead for the duo.
The episode summary cheekily uses Disney movie titles to illustrate Rob and Ryan’s anxieties about their ownership. Think less “Hakuna Matata” and more “Let it Go” as they confront the pressures of football club management. Can they maintain the positive momentum, or will they hit a snag that sends them spiraling into a “Frozen” state of fear?
“Welcome to Wrexham” blends the humor of fish-out-of-water owners learning the ropes of the beautiful game with genuine heartfelt moments as the club struggles to climb the ranks and make the townspeople proud. “Welcome to Wrexham” airs Thursday, May 22 at 10:00 PM ET on FX.
