THE much-anticipated Welcome to Wrexham docu-series started streaming on Disney Plus at the end of August – attracting a global audience.

The programme follows the journey of Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney since taking over Wrexham Football Club, as they experience the highs and lows of the beautiful game.

The programme gets across the incredible passion and character of the city, and is proving to be compulsive viewing.

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.

“Hopefully, it will highlight not just our amazing football story, but also the passion and character that makes Wrexham unique.”
