The world of sports has recently seen a surge in interest for behind-the-scenes TV shows. From "Formula 1: Drive to Survive" to "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty", fans have been treated with exclusive footage from their favorite teams. Continuing this trend, Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, and Eva Longoria have teamed up to create a TV series about Liga MX club Necaxa.

Necaxa is a century-old team that has shown potential but hasn't quite hit its stride on the pitch. Recognizing the need for new energy and inspiration, Reynolds and McElhenney stepped in - two individuals who have successfully revitalized Wrexham since 2020.

Their success story with "Welcome to Wrexham", an Emmy award-winning docuseries now heading into its fourth season, sets an encouraging precedent for the untitled Necaxa series. The show will also feature team co-owner and actress Longoria as executive producer, adding her expertise in television production and smart business decisions.

Following Welcome to Wrexham's blueprint

Like Wrexham once was, Necaxa is currently struggling. The upcoming show is expected to document the rise and revival of this team's fortunes – a classic rags-to-riches story where the protagonist isn't completely broke but teetering on total collapse.

Reynolds and McElhenney are not alone in their venture; they join Arsenal legend Mesut Ozil and Miami Dolphins' Odell Beckham Jr as part-owners of the club. With plans for both English and Spanish versions of the show, it’s clear that global success is anticipated.

Given Reynolds' acting successes such as Deadpool 3 alongside McElhenney’s fame from 'It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia', fans can expect a blend of quality entertainment and humor.

A potential hit show in the making

The duo's previous successes in movies and TV production, coupled with their knack for reality TV, could make the Necaxa series another hit show. They've seen something promising in Necaxa, and they're ready to bring it to life.

The production is a collaborative effort involving Hyphenate Media Group, Maximum Effort Productions, and 3 Arts Entertainment. Ryan Reynolds' investment in Maximum Effort Productions has previously led to successful advertisements for his gin company which he sold for $610 million - earning him a profit of more than $450 million including Mint Mobile.

Given this track record, don't be surprised if this new venture wins another Emmy. The stage is set for an engaging sports revival story that will captivate both sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike.
