Save The Dates: Eva Longoria's Wrexham Spinoff, Drop On Peacock And More

Necaxa, a new docuseries from Eva Longoria and Welcome to Wrexham duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney Rob Mac, is set to premiere Thursday, Aug. 7 at 9/8c on FXX.

In the Wrexham offshoot, "Longoria sets out to reignite the soul of one of Mexico's oldest and most storied football clubs, Club Necaxa — enlisting the help of fellow owners Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds, fresh off their headline-making revival of Wrexham AFC," according to the official logline.
 
"Necaxa is a gripping bilingual docuseries chronicling a turbulent, transformational time marked by staff shake-ups, career-defining injuries and the relentless grit of a football team determined to defy expectations and deliver hope to its city of Aguascalientes, Mexico," the synopsis continues. "Once a powerhouse in Mexican football, Club Necaxa has spent decades navigating instability including relocations and near-constant reinvention. Though its legacy has flickered in and out of the national spotlight, a passionate core of diehard supporters continues to believe, clinging to the dream that their beloved 'Rayos' will one day rise again.
 
Two episodes will air each Thursday for the first three weeks, followed by one episode each Thursday through Sept. 18. All episodes will stream next day on Hulu.
