"Supercharged by investment and ambition, the Red Dragons are unrecognisable from the club of just five years ago. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the club's enthusiastic co-owners, ignited and accelerated the rise of Wrexham through the divisions. A historic three successive promotions from the National League took Wrexham to the Championship. It's the doorstep of the Premier League, their ultimate goal, but also represents a big jump in terms of competition and cost."
"The progress of the Red Dragons through the divisions has been committed to virtual celluloid thanks to the Welcome to Wrexham documentary series, the basis and beneficiary of Phil Parkinson's success on the pitch. Wrexham's lightning ascent to the Championship poses questions about the future. The formula has worked up to this point but the project is in the midst of inevitable and necessary change."
Wrexham have transformed under new ownership and investment, quickly ascending three divisions to reach the Championship. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney provided capital, visibility and momentum that fueled the promotions and broadened the club's appeal. The Welcome to Wrexham documentary amplified attention and contributed commercial benefits connected to on-field success. Promotion to the Championship raises financial and competitive demands, prompting the owners to seek additional outside investment to aim for Premier League sustainability. Continued success risks reducing narrative tension for the documentary, so fresh challenges—such as an FA Cup tie against Premier League opposition—offer both sporting tests and renewed storytelling opportunities.
