‘Welcome to Wrexham’ – Season Four – Review
The fairytale miracle that is Wrexham A.F.C. continues to burn bright, and Season Four of Welcome to Wrexham hits the pitch with raw energy, high stakes, and plenty of heart. Streaming now on Disney+, this latest season of the smash-hit docuseries is a gripping return to North Wales, where the underdog dream is alive and kicking — and the stakes have never been higher.
In 2020, Rob and Ryan teamed up to purchase the 5th tier Red Dragons in the hopes of turning the Club into an underdog story the whole world could root for. The world took notice and the Club achieved back-to-back promotions to bring the Reds into the English Football League’s League One for the first time in 20 years. As they continue to rise in the pyramid, the stakes get higher with a new level of intensity, competition and costs, all while the Club continues to be plagued with injury and fans demand the signing of new talent. Dedicated staff and supporters celebrate the team’s climb toward the Premiership while bracing against the new-found challenges that come with each new tier up the EFL. Will Wrexham AFC rise to the challenge and do what no team has ever done before?
Wrexham AFC Women’s Team continues to battle amongst the top teams in the Welsh Adran Premier League and strives to stand out amidst a crowded field of talented women footballers. With new players and continued support from the Club and fans, can they make a name for themselves at the top of the League?
Meanwhile, somewhere in a galaxy far away… actually, a series of towns, cities and boroughs likely across Wales, England and California, Humphrey Ker trains for a marathon. Will Wrexham AFC’s beloved Executive Director raise funds for charity, survive humiliation at the hands of the players and staff, and complete 26.2 miles without injury or chaffing?
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are once again front and centre, doubling down on their passion project with every ounce of Hollywood hustle and hometown grit. After back-to-back promotions, Wrexham now stands tall in League One, a meteoric rise that feels almost too good to be true. But with greater glory comes greater pressure, and this season doesn’t shy away from the growing pains of trying to build a David that can stand toe-to-toe with Goliath.
Season Four is all about momentum and ambition. The chips are on the table, and Reynolds and McElhenney are pushing hard, setting their sights on the Championship League, and one day, the hallowed ground of the Premier League. But the road is steep, the competition fierce, and the margins razor-thin. The drama hits hard both on and off the field, and as the owners go all-in, the pressure builds in every frame. This is no longer just a feel-good story. It’s a full-blown campaign of passion, pride, and persistence.
What’s always made Welcome to Wrexham a standout is its emotional core, and Season Four keeps that heart beating strong. While the football action thrills, it’s the people of Wrexham who truly make the series shine. From small business owners to lifelong fans, each episode offers powerful, personal stories of community, resilience, and hope. The club’s rise has re-energised the town, and the series captures that spirit with warmth and authenticity. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll cheer: sometimes all in one episode.
Visually, the series continues to impress with slick production and a cinematic touch that elevates the drama. Reynolds and McElhenney’s on-screen chemistry delivers both levity and leadership, as they balance their roles as entertainers and owners with genuine care and commitment. And when setbacks hit, they hit hard, reminding us that this isn’t scripted. It’s real. It’s raw. And it’s beautiful.
Season Four of Welcome to Wrexham is pure fire. A story of grit, glory, and the unrelenting belief that anything is possible. Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or just love a damn good story, this season scores big. Up the town!
