Necaxa Synopsis:
In FX and Disney+ Latin America's Necaxa, Eva 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 McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, fresh off their headline-making revival of Wrexham AFC.
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. Once a powerhouse in Mexican football, Club Necaxa has spent decades navigating instability including relocations, relegation battles 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.

A portrait of faith, resilience and the enduring power of hope, Necaxa dives into the lives and dreams of the people who surround the team. Will Club Necaxa make it, or will they lose another season and the hearts of Aguascalientes once and for all?
