A RELEASE date for the hotly-anticipated documentary detailing Wrexham AFC's Hollywood takeover has now been confirmed.

Superstar actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney officially took over the North Wales club in February 2021.

Since then, there has been a renewed sense of hope at the Racecourse and a real buzz around the whole town.

Both Rob and Ryan have been spotted in Wrexham regularly too and, very soon, fans will finally be able to watch the finished 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary which follows the pair on their journey.

It will be broadcast in the UK on the Disney+ streaming service and will be available to watch from Thursday, August 25.

A synopsis promoting the release date said: "Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) teamed up to purchase the team in the hopes of turning the club into an underdog story the whole world could root for.

"The worry? Rob and Ryan have no experience in football or working with each other. That said, they are serious about their investment in Wrexham, improving the club and doing right by the townspeople.

"From Hollywood to Wales, the pitch to the locker room, the front office to the pub, Welcome to Wrexham will track Rob and Ryan’s crash course in football club ownership and the inextricably connected fates of a team and a town counting on two actors to bring some serious hope and change to a community that could use it."

It is as yet unclear how many episodes the series will contain.
