Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac dream big as "Welcome to Wrexham" season five is set to premiere
Reynolds and Mac took ownership of the Wrexham Red Dragons in 2021
In 2021, as Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds completed their purchase of Wrexham's soccer club, the Red Dragons, Reynolds was asked if this was a Hollywood movie, what would be his perfect story. His answer?
"Oh boy. (I) would be lying if it wasn't Premier League or something like that."
"Why not dream big?," added Mac.
The first four seasons of "Welcome to Wrexham" documented Mac's and Reynolds' dreams for Wrexham, the third oldest football club in the world, coming true one-by-one.
The team made history, winning back-to-back-to-back promotions in the English Football League. And in season five, they're going for the top of the pyramid: Premier League.
In the trailer for the Emmy-winning series' fifth season, Mac and Reynolds face what it takes to get to the to new players, new pressures and new financial worries, while never forgetting who they are and where they came from.
We will also see the Wrexham women's team as they battle to land atop the Welsh Adran Premier League.
