Ryan Reynolds' 'Welcome to Wrexham' gets Emmy nods—Is this his best work yet?

Wrexham AFC is going places while waiting for the EFL League One campaign to kick off. After sweeping an impressive five Primetime Emmy Awards last year, Welcome to Wrexham is yet again nominated for six Emmy Awards. The renowned sports docuseries Sunderland Till I Die inspired McElhenney to launch a similar series covering the intricacies of his club, which resulted in Welcome to Wrexham. Now, Ryan Reynolds has perfectly summed up Wrexham’s Emmy feat with a poetic message.

Reynolds took to X and announced the happy news of Wrexham receiving six Emmy nominations. This is the result of the stunning and consistent effort of @RMcElhenney, @grd212(George Dewey- the executive producer of Welcome to Wrexham) and so many others. You can’t write love letters like this without being irretrievably in love. @wrexham_afc and the Town are a wellspring of emotion, grit, and resilience. What an honour to be a part of their story,” the Deadpool star captioned his tweet which also had a picture of him and McElhenney in Wrexham’s stands.
