Gloria Sanchez, the production partnership between Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum that ramped up after Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy ended their long partnership, today launches Theater Camp. Coming on the heels of the Apple TV+ musical Spirited, Theater Camp premieres shortly at Eccles as an acquisition title. Directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman, the film stars Gordon and Ben Platt as longtime best friends who return to an upstate run down theater camp which is imperiled when its founder lapses into a coma due to an unfortunate strobe light incident. Her son takes over, and he tries to stave off foreclosure even though he initially has little interest in greasepaint and the boards. The project grew out of Booksmart, another Gloria Sanchez production. Elbaum & Ferrell produced with PictureStart’s Erik Feig (who financed), Samie Kim Falvey, Julia Hammer, Ryan Heller, Maria Zuckerman, Noah Galvin, Gordon, Lieberman and Platt.
Ryan Reynolds And Rob McElhenney Strike Gold For Season 2 Of ‘Welcome To Wrexham’ With Welsh Soccer Club’s Huge Upset Of Coventry
08.01.2023 - 04:17 / deadline.com
Welcome to Wrexham, the FX docuseries about a fifth-tier Welsh soccer club recently bought by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, just got some pretty juicy material for its forthcoming Season 2.
Wrexham pulled off a massive upset today in the third round of the FA Cup, holding on to beat Coventry 4-3. The English club plays in the Championship, three tiers higher than their opponents. The premise of Reynolds and McElhenney acquiring the club and producing a show about it was to take viewers through the twists and turns of resurrecting the down-on-its-luck club and giving diehard fans reason for hope. (It’s a close cousin of series like Netflix’s James Corden-produced Sunderland ‘Till I Die.)
A premiere date has not been announced for Season 2 of Wrexham, whose first season concluded last October. The show streams on Hulu. Its upcoming season is focused on the still-unfolding 2022-23 season, meaning that today’s thriller seems more than likely to factor into the narrative. Visiting Wrexham took a 3-1 lead at halftime, eventually pushing it to 4-1. It went on to outlast Coventry, which narrowed the game to 4-3 and nearly scored the equalizer in the closing minutes, missing on one chance directly in front of the goal.
“I’m completely and totally speechless,” Reynolds tweeted. “What a club. What a town. What a win.”
McElhenny tweeted a “mind blown” emoji, then adding, “Wow. Just … wow” before vowing, “We’re just getting started.” Reactions from fans have poured in all day across social media.
In a media twist to the game, the livestream on ESPN+ experienced an outage at the moment the final seconds were ticking down and the tension was reaching its peak. “The feed at ESPN+ went down!!!” McElhenney frantically tweeted.

Apple TV+ is in the awards mix for the Ryan Reynolds-Will Ferrell musical Spirited, in particular for the big song and dance number Good Afternoon that has made the shortlist. This is a rip roaring full blown musical number, one that tests the stars ability to not only sing, but dance as well. Here, Reynolds, who suggested the song, discusses pulling it off with songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, best known for La La Land and for teaming with Hugh Jackman on The Greatest Showman. The same Jackman who is publicly campaigned against the tune for fear that Reynolds will be extra insufferable when they reprise their superhero characters Deadpool and Wolverine.

Ryan Reynolds: An Oscars Performance Of ‘Good Afternoon’ Is “On The Table” If Nominated
