A fourth instalment of ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ has already been confirmed, which covers the 2024-25 campaign, with Phil Parkinson looking to mastermind another step up the EFL ladder – with his side currently riding high in the third tier table.

WHAT CLUB DIRECTOR SAID

If a place in the Championship were to be secured, then ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ will return to screens in 2026. Club director Shaun Harvey said at : “If we get promoted again, that virtually guarantees another series for the documentary. That gives you another 12 months of the same international profile.”

Harvey added on the journey that Wrexham, as a team and town, have been on: “You cannot buy what we're creating. The opportunity isn't just for us, it's for everybody. We've got the direct ambition of making the football club successful. On the back of that success, part of the mission statement of the owners, right from the start, was: How can we deliver community benefit as a result of the ownership? That community benefit isn't just (for) a person that lives in a house on a local estate. It's the business community as well.”
