Filming starts on Necaxa TV series with help of Wrexham owners

Interest has recently increased in TV shows around sports. From Formula 1: Drive to Survive to Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, we’ve been served with behind-the-scenes footage of many of our favorite sports teams. So when Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, and Eva Longoria teamed up to make a TV series about Liga MX club Necaxa, we weren’t completely surprised.

Therefore the club needed new energy, something to inspire their performances, and who else should be tasked with this endeavor other than the two people who have done the exact thing since 2020?

Reynolds and McElhenney have proven their success with Welcome to Wrexham. The Emmy award-winning docuseries released its third season in May and a fourth season is in the works. The untitled Necaxa series will likely adopt a similar style to the Wrexham show. Plus it’ll feature team co-owner and actress Longoria who also doubles as the executive producer. In essence, the individuals behind this project are experts in producing television and making smart business decisions.

It is a classic rags-to-riches story only that in this case, the team isn’t completely broke but rather on the verge of total collapse. Reynolds and McElhenney have already purchased a stake in the club and they now join Arsenal legend Mesut Ozil and Miami Dolphins Odell Beckham Jr in ownership.

The show will be in both English and Spanish so you can already tell they are anticipating global success. Much of the show will be unstructured likely because we have two comic legends of unscripted films. Reynolds has had huge successes in his acting career…
