Looks like the dynamic duo of Rob and Ryan are ready to move into F1 and join that circus ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/66016904  ) according to this, which probably answers what the shelf life of welcome to wrexham was.  I imagine as long as they keep getting promotions the docu-series will continue in one form or another, maybe trimmed down:

Wrexham Football Club owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are part of an investor group taking a 24% equity stake in Formula 1 team Alpine.

Alpine's parent company, Renault, announced on Monday the two Hollywood actors are investing alongside Otro Capital and RedBird Capital Partners.

The 200m euros (£171m) deal values Alpine Racing, which is based in Britain, at about £706m.

Alpine are fifth in this year's F1 constructors' championship.

Reynolds and McElhenney completed their takeover at Wrexham in 2021 and the Welsh club were promoted back to the Football League after a 15-year absence when they won the National League title in April.

US investment firm RedBird is an investor in Fenway Sports Group, the owner of Premier League side Liverpool and the Boston Red Sox baseball team.

RedBird bought Italian Serie A club AC Milan in August 2022 in a 1.2bn euro deal and also has a controlling stake in French Ligue 1 side Toulouse.

Alpine chief executive Laurent Rossi said: "This association is an important step to enhance our performance at all levels."

Rossi added the investment would "boost" the F1 team's media profile, which in turn would support Alpine's "performance over the long term".

The fact that Reynolds and McElhenney have a diverse portfolio of investments is, in itself, no indicator whatsoever that they are taking a lesser interest in Wrexham.

They’re both very shrewd business men, Reynolds makes the majority of his earnings from his investments. He sold Aviator Gin for around 650 million and Mint Mobile for 1.35 billion. Having the sort of worldwide profile he does certainly helps the growth of these companies.

Just another two very wealthy men "dabbling" because they can. The world is full of them sadly.

At the end of the day, our involvement with Wrexham will boil down to two 90 minute league games, and possibly a play off shot.

Didn't go too badly last time.

The idea was always to build it up and sell it off. It’s what Reynolds does. They’re both very smart.

At what point this happens? Championship I suspect.

I still don't really mind Wrexham , if we still had our previous custodian i may view things differently .

I am very happy with Jason & Andrew and don't envy any other club .

I would suspect the documentary has a wider narrative than just to give us fans something to enjoy , but to  make us noticeable to. Wider audience and to potential investers when they think the time is right and required .

I don't mind what they're doing at Wrexham and it's a bit unfair to label them as typical rich owners. They've clearly put a lot into the club other than just money, bringing in sponsors and a much greater global reach. It's just the media obsession that's irritating.
