Wrexham Council are hoping Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's documentary will have a positive effect on the town.
Welcome to Wrexham, the story of the Hollywood pair's journey as co-owners of the Reds, is set to premiere on Disney+ on Thursday.
Reynolds and McElhenney officially completed their takeover in February 2021, and the documentary has been well spoken about ever since.
They are adored and idolised by Wrexham fans, not only for the significant investment to benefit the football club, but also for the acts of kindness to the Wrexham community that show the care they have for the area.

With the worldwide audience that the Hollywood pair bring and the 152 million subscribers that Disney+ has, Wrexham may well be put on the map when the documentary launches.
Which is something Wrexham Council are looking forward to.
Councillor Nigel Williams, Wrexham Council’s Lead Member for Economy, said:
“This is a really good thing for Wrexham and part of an incredible story about two Hollywood actors and their impact on a North Wales community.

“Football is a huge part of who we are as people, and to many the club is the beating heart of Wrexham. There’s incredible passion and support for the football club.
“We hope the series will be good for Wrexham and will help put the county borough even more firmly on the map as a great place to live, work and visit.
“We’re sure everyone will be looking forward to watching the series, and hopefully it will highlight not just our amazing football story, but also the passion and character that makes Wrexham unique.”
