Welcome to Wrexham: Episode guide

‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documents Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s takeover of Welsh football club Wrexham AFC, the third oldest professional football club in the world.

Over the course of eight weeks, and sixteen episodes, viewers will be taken behind the scenes of the Hollywood takeover and follow the National League side as they battle for the ultimate goal of promotion back to the Football League.

There will be 16 episodes in total, most of which will be 30 minutes long, although it is understood a couple of them might be longer at roughly one hour in runtime.

The documentary series, for the most part, will be released two episodes at a time over the coming weeks, meaning there is roughly one hour of new content coming each Thursday for viewers in the UK.
