REVIEW: ‘Welcome to Wrexham Season 4’ Updates Expectations

Welcome to Wrexham Season 4 is the next chapter of the football documentary series. Owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the Welsh football team has been fighting through the English Football pyramid, making it from the National League into League One. They have succeeded in back-to-back promotions. But now, Wrexham is striving for back-to-back-to-back, the first in history.

The structure and format of the documentary make it both an interesting and engaging watch. As the new season begins, it feels familiar and comforting. There is an introduction, but not in the same breadth as previous seasons. The documentary makers expect the audience to understand the football pyramid by this point, especially with the club getting close to the top.

The episodes vary in content. Some focus solely on the team and the football, exploring new rivalries. Others are more based on the community and Wrexham as a city. There are always new stories to tell. There is usually a match at the end of each episode to wrap up the themes and the subject of the episode. This structure has worked for four seasons, and the show has made it its own.

The tone has shifted slightly within Welcome to Wrexham Season 4, something the show has struggled with over time. When Reynolds and McElhenney took over the club, they could label themselves as underdogs due to the club’s situation. When they first took it over the club was downtrodden and struggling. But now it has serious wealth, support, and backing. It was dwarfing the wage bills and income streams of other clubs around it. Wrexham players even had cameos inside Deadpool & Wolverine. 

Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds remain key fixtures in the docuseries.

That has settled now that they’re in the running with bigger teams. The story of this season is the quest to make history, gambling on success. There is also the plight of the women’s team, competing in their season. The contrasting fortunes and settings are fascinating, and the show balances the two storylines brilliantly.

Welcome to Wrexham Season 4 features many familiar faces inside and outside the football club. Reynolds and McElhenney are very present in this season. They are all over the place as they’re used for interviews, on the pitch, and in the stands. They are often used for publicity, especially when other celebrities get involved in different clubs in the league. They are funny and energetic, but there is also a sincerity to both of them. Especially McElhenney. He appears genuinely invested in everything in Wrexham, including the people. The show has made celebrities out of normal people and lower-league footballers.

The community and city of Wrexham are just as much a part of the show as the stars and strikers. Each season brings someone new and interesting. Even if they are regular business owners, the show takes time to explore their lives and stories, because they give the city its soul.

Community keeps the story grounded in Welcome to Wrexham Season 4.

Team members in Welcome to Wrexham Season 4

Ukrainian refugees are making the city their home after fleeing war, or young people who went to bigger cities, such as Manchester and Liverpool, to find new opportunities but are now returning because of the buzz around the place. The atmosphere and the positivity within the general public of Wrexham are heartwarming and genuine, without a hint of derision or patronizing tones.

The production remains terrific. The documentary is edited and shot superbly. During the interviews, the show is quiet. It allows the subjects to speak openly and at length without being taken out of context. The football matches capture the energy and the intensity of the sport. Each tackle looks harsh and fierce, and each goal is celebrated with ecstasy.

Welcome to Wrexham Season 4 explores a city’s new identity. Huge respect has to be given to what this documentary has achieved. The success has provided opportunities for players, community members, and lower-league football in Britain as a whole. That can be seen when they encounter teams attempting to replicate their format and approach. However, the change in attitudes across the city is refreshing, recognizing growth and a need to adapt.

The most fascinating part of Welcome to Wrexham Season 4 is watching those within wrestle with turning from a small club into a much bigger behemoth on an unprecedented mission. The show doesn’t feel smug or arrogant, but just aware of the facts. And the community around it, working-class Welsh people just trying to make a life for themselves, keeps it grounded throughout.

Welcome to Wrexham Season 4 is available weekly on FX from May 15, then Hulu the day after in the US, and Disney Plus everywhere else.
