Where's Ted Lasso when you need him? A rare unscripted series for FX, Welcome to Wrexham follows actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds in real life as they join forces to purchase a struggling, low-level soccer team in the working-class Welsh town of Wrexham. Do the two stars have any experience in running a football club—or even in working with each other? Not at all. Does it matter? Find out as the series traces their crash course in both—and the reaction of Wrexham locals to the arrival of the two out-of-towners. Two half-hour episodes air back-to-back on opening night (and stream the next day on Hulu).
