Football fans and documentary lovers, get ready – the Emmy® Award-winning series Welcome to Wrexham is returning for its highly anticipated fourth season on May 29, streaming exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar in Malaysia.
The first two episodes of the eight-part season will drop on premiere day, with the rest to follow weekly.
Produced by Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), this hit docuseries has gone far beyond just being a football story. It’s a tale of underdogs, dreams, and the power of community — all wrapped in cinematic storytelling that keeps fans coming back season after season.
The Hollywood Takeover That Changed Everything
For those new to the series, Welcome to Wrexham follows the unlikely journey of two Hollywood stars who purchased Wrexham AFC, the third-oldest professional football club in the world, located in a working-class town in North Wales.
In 2020, McElhenney and Reynolds shocked the football world by buying a fifth-tier club with a plan: to restore its legacy and turn it into a global underdog success story.
And they did more than just talk. Since then, Wrexham AFC has made back-to-back promotions, rising all the way to EFL League One — their highest standing in over 20 years.
Season 4 picks up from that momentum, chronicling the next leg of the journey as the Red Dragons face tougher opponents, greater expectations, and new challenges both on and off the pitch.
What’s New in Season 4?
The stakes are higher than ever in League One. With growing pressure from fans, increasing costs, and the constant struggle with injuries, the club is facing a whole new level of intensity.
Supporters demand fresh talent, and management must make tough decisions to keep the momentum alive.
Behind the scenes, you’ll witness how the team’s dedicated staff continue to work tirelessly, how community support keeps the club grounded, and how McElhenney and Reynolds juggle fame with football management.
Season 4 promises unprecedented access — from locker rooms to boardrooms — and dives deeper into the inner workings of what it really takes to run a football club in the modern age.
Spotlight on the Wrexham Women’s Team
Season 4 also shines a light on the Wrexham AFC Women’s Team, who are competing in the top tier of Welsh football — the Adran Premier League.
With new signings and increasing support from the club, the women’s team is more determined than ever to make a name for themselves. Their journey is a powerful parallel to the men’s team, proving that the spirit of Wrexham isn’t bound by gender — it’s a shared dream across the board.
Humphrey Ker’s Marathon Mission
In a lighter subplot, Executive Director Humphrey Ker adds a touch of humor and heart to the season as he trains for a marathon.
Will he complete the 26.2-mile race without injury, embarrassment, or excessive chafing? And more importantly, can he raise funds for a good cause while balancing his leadership role at the club? This storyline adds a personal, feel-good dimension to the season that fans will surely enjoy.
