The Welcome to Wrexham Season 4 trailer is here, showcasing Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s journey with Wrexham AFC in League One.
The saga of Wrexham AFC continues to captivate, and the first trailer for Season 4 of FX’s Welcome to Wrexham proves the stakes are higher than ever. Released today, the teaser offers a thrilling peek at what’s ahead for Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as they steer their beloved Welsh football club into League One following a triumphant promotion.
Set to premiere May 15, 2025, with a two-episode launch at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FX—and streaming the next day on Hulu—the new season promises more of the heart, humor, and high drama that have made the docuseries a standout hit.
Since Reynolds and McElhenney took the reins of Wrexham AFC in 2020, the show has tracked their ambitious quest to transform one of the world’s oldest professional football clubs into a Cinderella story for the ages.
What began as a Hollywood-meets-hometown tale has evolved into a global phenomenon, with the club securing back-to-back promotions and the series racking up eight Primetime Emmy Awards and two Critics’ Choice Television Awards since its 2022 debut. Now, as Wrexham steps onto the League One stage, Season 4 looks poised to test the duo’s resolve like never before.
The trailer wastes no time setting the scene: Wrexham AFC is in uncharted territory. After clinching promotion from League Two with a 3-0 rout of Charlton Athletic FC last week—a victory celebrated by Reynolds, McElhenney, and even Blake Lively in the stands—the club now faces tougher opponents and mounting expectations.
The footage teases on-field struggles, including persistent injury woes and fan pressure for fresh signings, as the team aims to hold its own in the third tier of English football.
Adding fuel to the fire is a tantalizing hint of a celebrity showdown. The trailer nods to Birmingham City FC, a League One rival co-owned by NFL icon Tom Brady, setting the stage for a clash of star-backed squads.
“It’s going to be a battle,” Reynolds declares in the clip, his tone brimming with grit and anticipation. “But we’re ready for it.” McElhenney, ever the passionate co-owner, doubles down: “This is what we’ve been working towards—the chance to compete at a higher level, to show the world what Wrexham is made of.”
Season 4 isn’t just about the men’s first team. The trailer shines a light on the Wrexham AFC Women’s Team, which continues to carve its own path in the Welsh Adran Premier League.
Their rise mirrors the club’s broader resurgence, and the series will spotlight their efforts to break out in a competitive field—a testament to Reynolds and McElhenney’s commitment to every corner of the organization.
Off the field, the show keeps its personal touch with a subplot featuring executive director Humphrey Ker training for a marathon. It’s a quirky, humanizing thread that balances the intensity of the football narrative with the everyday quirks of the Wrexham family.
Reynolds and McElhenney remain the beating heart of the story, and their words in the trailer underscore their deep investment. “We’re not just owners,” McElhenney says, his voice steady with conviction. “We’re part of this community. And we’re in it for the long haul.”
It’s a sentiment that resonates as Wrexham’s profile soars, drawing eyes from across the globe—thanks in no small part to moments like Lively cheering alongside fans during last week’s promotion party.
With its blend of sports intrigue and raw emotion, Welcome to Wrexham has become more than a docuseries—it’s a cultural event. The Season 4 trailer, now live on FX’s website and YouTube, sets the tone for a chapter that will grapple with the pressures of success while staying true to the underdog spirit that first hooked viewers.
For those new to the journey, Seasons 1-3 are streaming on Hulu and Disney+, offering a front-row seat to Wrexham’s remarkable ascent.
Mark your calendars: come May 15, Reynolds, McElhenney, and Wrexham AFC will once again take the field—and the screen—ready to prove they’re here to stay. Whether you’re in it for the football or the feel-good vibes, Season 4 looks set to deliver a winning play.
