Wrexham keep on winning! Ryan Reynolds ‘immensely proud’ as iconic Welcome to Wrexham documentary follows up Emmys success with PGA Award nomination

The popular FX-produced series has captured the imagination of a global audience across two action-packed seasons. The most recent of those covered the Red Dragons’ record-breaking National League title triumph, while also shining a light on the club’s women’s team and stories in the local community.

Reynolds and fellow co-owner Rob McElhenney were thrilled to discover that Welcome to Wrexham had won big at the recent Emmys ceremony in Los Angeles – with Reynolds dressing up as his Deadpool on-screen alter ego to give an acceptance speech that was delivered while holding a statuette borrowed from Wolverine star Hugh Jackman.

There may be more celebrations to come in North Wales, with Reynolds posting on Instagram after learning that Welcome to Wrexham is also in the running for a top prize at the Producers Guild of America Awards: “Five Emmys and now this. Immensely proud of #WelcomeToWrexham and the entire crew. Particularly my fellow producers, @robmcelhenney and @grd212 who put SO MUCH LOVE into this. And huge thanks @producersguild for the recognition.”

It has been confirmed that season three of Welcome to Wrexham is in the pipeline, with it possible that another successful promotion push will be covered there. Phil Parkinson currently has his side riding high in the League Two table, while also progressing through to the fourth round of the 2023-24 FA Cup.
