Grimsby Town Football Club may not be owned by Hollywood superstars like Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney but they’re looking to rival the duo’s Wrexham AFC on TV screens.
Propagate International, the distribution division of Ben Silverman and Howard T. Owens’ production company, has taken the global rights to All Town Aren’t We, a three-part docuseries about the British football club.
The doc, which is produced by Shush Films, will cover the team’s 2021-2022 season, where they beat Wrexham in the semi-finals of the playoffs to achieve an instant return to the Football League.
While the team only finished sixth in the National League that season, they defeated Notts County in the quarter finals and Reynolds and McElhenney’s Wrexham on their way to beating Solihull Moors to win promotion to League Two.
Directed by Jack Spring, All Town Aren’t We follows the club, known as The Mariners, as it across the season. It features appearances from Grimsby Town natives Lloyd Griffith, a comedian, and Gallow’s Pole star Thomas Turgoose.
Spring is already in production on a second season of the documentary, which focuses on the 2022-23 season, which saw the team make it to the quarter finals of the FA Cup, beating Premier League team Southampton, only to lost to Brighton, but still becoming the first club in the competition’s history to knock out five teams from higher divisions.
Spring also produces alongside Giles Alderson with Grimsby Town FC owners Andrew Pettit and Jason Stockwood as exec producers.
It comes as Welcome to Wrexham has become a hit for FX with a second season set to air later this year.
“It has been a brilliant journey documenting what I believe to be the singular best sporting story of the last decade,” said

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The estate of legendary British singer Joe Cocker has entered into an agreement with Irving Azoff’s Iconic Artists Group to acquire and develop the singer’s five-decade catalog. The acquisition includes the singer’s music intellectual property assets, including his interest in his sound recordings, compositions, and his name, image and likeness; further terms were not disclosed. After working as a singer through the early 1960s, Cocker burst into the mainstream in 1969 with his electrifying cover of the Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends,” which topped the British charts and sparked a major U.S. following, thanks in large part to his show-stopping performance at the Woodstock festival (and subsequent film). With his powerful and unmistakable soul-blues voice and explosive stage presence, Cocker’s popularity grew with the “Mad Dogs & Englishmen” tour, live album and film, which featured an all-star band helmed by Leon Russell.
