Ted Lasso, starring Jason Sudeikis, is about an American football coach who is hired to manage a professional team in England, despite having no experience of "soccer".
The show has started its second season on Apple TV+.
The streaming channel is also the home of Rob's latest series Mythic Quest.
Ryan and Rob shared their hilarious response on social media, demanding two large boxes of biscuits as well as an apology.
The note, from the desk of RR McREYNOLDS reads: “Dear Apple TV+
“It has come to our attention that in a recent episode of Ted Lasso, our very real ownership of Wrexham AFC was called into question by an otherwise beloved character named ‘Higgins’.
“While we hold the incomparable Jeremy Swift in no ill regard and are honoured to be mentioned on the platform that brought us high-quality programming ranging from Mythic Quest season one and Mythic Quest season two, we must insist that you cease and desist from the casting of any doubt regarding our commitment to the club, the fans and the entire Wrexham community.
“To avoid legal action please send 2 LARGE boxes of Ted Lasso’s biscuits to the Racecourse Ground, Mold Rd, Wrexham LL11 2AH, United Kingdom before the Wrexham AFC season begins on Saturday, August 21 at 3pm.
“Believe! Rob & Ryan”.
It is as yet not known whether the biscuits arrived.
