Five to watch this week
Welcome To Wrexham – Season 3 (starts streaming from May 3 exclusively on Disney+)
The second series of docuseries Welcome To Wrexham secured a fairy tale finish when the third oldest professional football club in the world, Wrexham AFC, secured promotion to EFL League Two. Owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney face heightened expectations when Welcome To Wrexham returns for more drama during the 202324 season. The small, closeknit community revels in the club’s return to the fourth tier of English football after a 15-year absence with the tantalising possibility of a second successive promotion. However, the first match of the season is a sobering reality check, reminding dedicated staff and supporters that Hollywood glamour in the stands can’t guarantee victory on the pitch.
Unfrosted (12, 96 mins, streaming from May 3 exclusively on Netflix)
Jerry Seinfeld directs, co-writes and stars in a comedy based on the real-life creation of an alternative to cereal and milk for American families. In the early 1960s, two businesses – Kellogg’s run by Edsel Kellogg III (Jim Gaffigan) and Post run by Marjorie Post (Amy Schumer) – monopolise the breakfast market. Post announces it has perfected the recipe for a fruitfilled pastry that can be cooked to perfection in a toaster. Kellogg’s executive Bob Cabana (Seinfeld) joins forces with food innovator Donna Stankowski (Melissa McCarthy) to beat Post to market with a rival product that will eventually become the Pop Tart. The two companies jostle for supremacy and wreak havoc on interested parties including actor Thurl Ravenscroft (Hugh Grant), who voices Tony The Tiger.
