FX is sticking with Wrexham’s underdog saga. The Emmy-winning Welcome to Wrexham has been renewed for a fifth season, keeping the cameras rolling as the club enters its first campaign in the EFL Championship—another leap in what’s become one of unscripted TV’s most unlikely success stories.
The announcement lands midway through Season 4, which continues to air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FX, with episodes available the next day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
Series stars and executive producers Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds are also expanding their football storytelling footprint, teaming with Eva Longoria for Necaxa, a new docuseries following Mexico’s Club Necaxa—where all three are minority owners. The project will bow this summer on FX in the U.S. and on Disney+ Latin America.
Necaxa documents the club’s efforts to rebuild amid a turbulent chapter, tracking players, fans, and club leadership as they chase a return to playoff form and restore the team’s legacy in Mexican football.
Meanwhile, Season 4 of Welcome to Wrexham covers the team’s climb into League One—its highest placement in two decades—raising the stakes and operating costs as the club transitions from local miracle to global franchise. The season also follows the Wrexham AFC Women’s Team in the Welsh Adran Premier League, and Executive Director Humphrey Ker as he prepares for a marathon.
Produced by More Better Productions, Maximum Effort, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Boardwalk Pictures, Welcome to Wrexham remains one of FX’s biggest unscripted hits. The series won Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program at the Emmys and continues to draw both critical praise and strong engagement across platforms.
