Netflix Unveils Global Release of ‘New Era’: A Groundbreaking Wrexham AFC Documentary…
Netflix has officially announced the global release of a new and highly anticipated sports documentary series titled New Era. Which This multi-part series promises a riveting, behind-the-scenes exploration of the transformation and resurgence of Wrexham AFC, one of the most storied and beloved lower-division football clubs now making headlines far beyond the United Kingdom….
New Era will take viewers deep into the heart of Wrexham, North Wales, where dreams of footballing glory have taken root once again. Once a modest team in the depths of the National League, Wrexham AFC has experienced a remarkable renaissance under the ownership of Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Their surprise takeover in 2020 captivated the world, but what has followed is even more compelling — a story of hope, grit, and community revival.
The series documents the club’s dramatic transformation both on and off the pitch. From the struggles of semi-professional football to the sheer determination of players fighting for promotion, New Era offers unprecedented access to team talks, locker room emotions, and community reactions. It captures the evolution of a club reborn — driven not only by celebrity influence but by the passionate fans who’ve stood by it for generations.
Wrexham’s recent promotion to the English Football League and its push for higher tiers serve as the central narrative arc. But the documentary also shines a light on the broader cultural impact: how a small Welsh town became an international symbol of perseverance, and how football continues to bridge divides and inspire unity.
“New Era isn’t just about football,” said Netflix’s head of documentaries. “It’s about identity, legacy, and what happens when the world pays attention to a place that never stopped believing in itself.”
With stunning cinematography, emotional storytelling, and raw authenticity, New Era is poised to become another must-watch addition to Netflix’s growing library of sports docuseries. It premieres globally on June 29, 2025, and promises to deliver more than just matchday highlights — it will tell the soul-stirring story of how a club, a town, and its people dared to dream again.
