Wrexham A.F.C. is widely regarded as one of the most popular football teams in the world. They are the third oldest professional soccer team in the world and the oldest football club in Wales. Over the years, the club has gone through a series of ups and downs.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the club's existence was reportedly under threat as it faced a number of challenges, due to which it reportedly temporarily laid off its staff following the 2019-20 National League suspension.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney formed the RR McReynolds Company LLC in November 2020, following which the duo officially purchased the iconic club. The upcoming documentary will depict the numerous challenges and struggles that the actors face while managing the team with no prior experience in soccer and taking them to the top.
