Welcome to Wrexham has netted three more seasons.
FX has renewed the documentary series, which follows the Welsh soccer team Wrexham AFC following its purchase by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac in 2020, through its sixth, seventh and eighth seasons.
“A three-season order for a TV series is nearly unheard of and is only possible through the ground-breaking work of our Emmy-winning documentary team and the relentless rise of Wrexham AFC and all those working so hard to make sports history,” Reynolds and Mac say in a statement. “We are forever grateful to our equally fearless and tireless partners at FX for being with us every step of the way.”
They add, “We are so happy we get to keep telling the Wrexham story for years to come.”
The series extension is set to keep Welcome to Wrexham on the air into 2029.
In the meantime, the fifth season of Welcome to Wrexham will premiere on May 14 via FXX and Hulu.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News, FX and Hulu.

Let’s go back, back to the beginning, because The Reunion: Laguna Beach is here.
Nearly 22 years after Laguna Beach introduced the world to the lives of a group teens from Orange County, California, the cast came together for the ultimate reunion special, which was filmed in October 2025 and is set to air Friday, April 10, on The Roku Channel.
Stars Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, Stephen Colletti and more spoke with ABC News Digital at the premiere last month, which was held at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, California.
The idea to bring everyone back together came after the Laguna Beach High School alums had their own 20-year high school reunion.
“We’ve had a lot of events recently,” Conrad said. “We had our 20-year high school reunion, Stephen and Kristen did a beautiful podcast where they reflected on the whole show, and one by one, we all went on their podcasts and talked to them — and I think everyone walked away from that feeling really good about the experience.”
She added, “So it started the conversation of, like, should we all get together as a group, which we haven’t done, and kind of reflect on this show, celebrate what it meant and talk about the fact that a lot of us are still really good friends?”
In a Q&A during the screening, Cavallari said that even though she and Colletti have invited everyone to appear on their podcast individually, “The one thing that was missing was getting everyone together in the same room.”
In Laguna Beach, Conrad’s storyline included a love triangle between her, Cavallari and Colletti.
Although Conrad and Cavallari previously addressed their alleged beef in 2022 on Cavallari’s podcast, the trailer for the reunion features her and Cavallari finally sitting down in person and addressing how the show framed them as enemies.
Cavallari said during the Q&A, “We actually have a lot more in common than I think I thought.”

Kerry Condon is heading into the woods with Maya Hawke.
The Oscar-nominated actress is set to star opposite Hawke in Netflix’s adaptation of Liz Moore’s bestselling 2024 novel The God of the Woods.
As previously announced, Hawke will play Judy Luptack, an investigator working to solve the disappearance of a 13-year-old girl from her family’s upstate New York summer camp. Condon will play Alice Van Laar, the teen’s mother who’s been hardened by grief and past trauma.
The multigenerational drama series will explore how the girl’s disappearance may be connected to an earlier family tragedy. “As the past and present collide, the Van Laars’ wealth and influence unravel, revealing the damaging consequences of privilege and the abuse of power,” the description from Netflix reads.
Liz Moore and Liz Hannah will serve as co-showrunners, writers and executive producers.
“We love making TV and can’t wait to bring The God of the Woods to life with our partners at Sony and Netflix,” Moore and Hannah tell Netflix. “We hope everyone falls in love (and hate) with these characters as much as we have.”

Michael J. Fox is quashing fears that he had died with humor and reassurance.
The Back to the Future actor took to social media on Wednesday to confirm he is alive and doing “OK” after a CNN package mistakenly posted online appeared to indicate that Fox had died.
“How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?” Fox wrote on Threads after a now-deleted CNN package titled “Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox” was shared online, according to media reports.
Fox went on to list a few theoretical ways one may react to seeing reports of their own death.
“Do you…A) switch to MNSBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour scolding hot water on your lap, if it hurts your fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, (E) Ask yourself wtf?”
“I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m ok,” he added.
The actor signed the post “Love, Mike.”
A CNN spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News on Thursday that the package “was published in error.”
“We have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family,” the spokesperson added.
Fox has been open about his health issues since announcing his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 1998.
The actor spoke to People in 2020 about his decadeslong experience with the disease, saying, “Optimism is sustainable when you keep coming back to gratitude, and what follows from that is acceptance. Accepting that this thing has happened, and you accept it for what it is.”
He continued, “It doesn’t mean that you can’t endeavor to change. It doesn’t mean you have to accept it as a punishment or a penance, but just put it in its proper place. Then see how much the rest of your life you have to thrive in, and then you can move on.”
Fox attended PaleyFest in Los Angeles this week, appearing at the Shrinking season 3 wrap celebration on Tuesday evening, according to an Instagram post that Fox reshared on his Instagram Story Wednesday.
The actor appeared in three episodes of the Apple TV+ series this past season, guest-starring as Parkinson’s patient Gerry.
Pink’s transformation into the ultimate Broadway mom is complete: She’s hosting the Tony Awards in June.
Pink’s daughter, Willow Hart Sage, has set her sights on being a Broadway star, so Pink has moved the family to New York City to help her pursue her dream. Pink has also taken Willow to multiple shows, complete with cast meet-and-greets, and sent the teen out to interview Broadway stars when she guest-hosted The Kelly Clarkson Show.
But the Tony Awards is some next-level stuff. Pink says in a statement, “When I was asked to host the Tonys, I immediately thought, ‘I have to get permission from my daughter.’ I’ve never been on Broadway, and shouldn’t you have to have been on Broadway in order to host? That seems fair and right.”
“But when I asked my daughter, she was really excited about being able to have a ticket to go to the Tonys, so I’m hosting the Tonys and I’m really, really, excited and very nervous because that girl is a tough crowd!”
On Instagram, Pink posted a video of herself fulfilling her Tony Awards host requirement to be “on Broadway” by stepping one foot onto the stage during a performance of The Great Gatsby.
“Special thanks to the team at @bwaygatsby for letting me share the stage, even just for a moment,” she wrote.
The 79th annual Tony Awards will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on June 7.

The story continues in Gilead, and this time, it’s being told by a younger generation.
The Testaments, a new Hulu series based on the 2019 novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood and set 15 years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, focuses on a group of teens who have grown up in the fictional dystopian society of Gilead as they navigate Aunt Lydia’s elite preparatory school for future wives.
“You’ll see how things change over time,” Ann Dowd, who reprises her role as Aunt Lydia in The Testaments, told ABC News. “What happens to these girls in this journey, this coming-of-age story? I think you’re going to find an entirely different experience than you did with ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.'”
Joining Dowd in the new series are Chase Infiniti as Agnes (previously known as Hannah in The Handmaid’s Tale), Lucy Halliday as Daisy, Rowan Blanchard as Shunammite, Mattea Conforti as Becka and Brad Alexander as Garth.
Infiniti began production on The Testaments after working on director Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, crediting the Oscar-winning film with sharpening her experience in ensemble work.
“I feel very grateful that I get to work with another ensemble, let alone a group of girls who are around my age,” she told Good Morning America at the premiere of The Testaments in Los Angeles on March 31. “I felt so grateful to have been a part of that, because we poured so much love into each other — we poured so much love into the story.”
Elisabeth Moss, who starred as June Osborne in all five seasons of The Handmaid’s Tale before the series wrapped last year, also appears in the new show.
“She loves this project so much and poured so much into it,” Infiniti said, adding that Moss extended her hand to the cast to let them know that if they needed anything, she was there for them.
The first three episodes of The Testaments are available to stream now on Hulu. New episodes will arrive every Wednesday through May 27.
The Walt Disney Co. is the parent company of ABC News, Disney+ and Hulu.
The official trailer is out for Remarkably Bright Creatures, a new Netflix film based on the 2022 bestselling novel by Shelby Van Pelt. Sally Field plays Tova, a widow working at an aquarium who befriends an octopus named Marcellus. “Unbeknownst to Tova, Marcellus is on a mission to solve a mystery that will heal the widow’s heart and lead her to a life-changing discovery,” the movie’s description says. Lewis Pullman plays a young man who takes a maintenance job at the aquarium and has some healing of his own to do. The film debuts May 8 …

Poster for ‘Breaking Glass: The Pat Summitt Story’ (ABC News Studios)
The story of legendary Tennessee Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt is told in Breaking Glass: The Pat Summitt Story, now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. The documentary follows her journey through her coaching career and features many of the people she impacted. Director Dawn Porter says it also highlights an often overlooked aspect of her legacy.
“Something I think people don’t talk about enough is Pat invited a number of Black women into the University of Tennessee to play for her when that wasn’t that common,” she says. “She didn’t make a big deal of it. … She invited the best players.”
One of those players was WNBA star Candace Parker, who still carries lessons she learned under Pat’s leadership.
“I talked with Candace Parker, who played for Pat, and she said that they were required as Lady Vols to sit in the front row in the classroom. Candace says to this day, when she’s somewhere, she sits in the front row,” says executive producer Robin Roberts. “There were many life skills … that had nothing to do with basketball, but still stays with all these women … decades later.”
With so many meaningful moments embedded in the documentary, Robin hopes viewers walk away understanding how deeply Pat cared.
“I hope people will realize how much she truly cared, not just about the Tennessee Lady Vols, not just about women’s basketball, but how much she truly, truly cared and how she saw you,” she says. “When you were in front of Pat Summitt, you thought you were the only person on earth. She made you feel important. She made you feel seen and heard.”
Dawn adds, “I hope people understand that she was a leader through and through, and she just treated everybody the same. … She was not a person who was only caring about the superstars. She cared about everybody.”
Eric Dane appears in a scene from season three of ‘Euphoria.’ (HBO)
Euphoria creator Sam Levinson is dedicating the new season of his hit show to Eric Dane, Angus Cloud and producer Kevin Turen.
At the season 3 premiere of Euphoria in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, Levinson addressed the audience ahead of the screening and paid tribute to the late actors and producer, who died in the years after season 2 aired on HBO.
“Some people ask why it took so long between seasons 2 and 3,” Levinson said, addressing the four-year gap. “There were obvious factors — the [writers and actors] strikes, how to make a schedule work with our very in-demand cast. But the real time was trying to figure out how to find a way to pay respect to those who we lost.”
Cloud, who starred as Fezco in Euphoria seasons 1 and 2, died in July 2023 from an accidental drug overdose. He was 25.
“When Angus died, it was tough. I loved him deeply. And I fought hard to keep him clean,” Levinson said at the premiere.
He also pointed to the opioid epidemic and discussed how it has affected many people across the U.S.
In 2023, approximately 105,000 people died from drug overdose, with 76% involving either an illegal or prescription opioid and 69% involving synthetic opioids other than methadone, “primarily illegally made fentanyl and fentanyl analogs,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Approximately 73,000 people died from fentanyl overdoses in 2023, according to the CDC, representing “nearly 92% of opioid overdose deaths.”
“I learned a whole lot that year, but what I realized more than anything is that death is what gives life meaning,” Levinson said at Tuesday’s premiere, referring to Cloud’s death. “You can’t be arrogant about existence. You’re forced to reckon with the fact that life itself is a wonder, a gift, a profound blessing.”
Four months after Cloud’s death, Turen died from multiple heart issues, according to a medical examiner’s report.
Dane, who starred as Cal Jacobs in Euphoria, died in February this year, following a battle with ALS.
Prior to Dane’s death, he returned to his role for the show’s third season. Fans got a preview of his final performance in the season 3 trailer, which was released March 30.
“I’d like to dedicate this season to those who we lost: Angus, Kevin and Eric,” he said. “The Rebbe says, ‘The only way to see great light is to pass through great darkness.’ Well, it feels good to be on the other side.”
Euphoria season 3, starring Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney, will debut on HBO and stream on HBO Max on Sunday.
