Disney+ has revealed that the award-winning global hit docuseries 'Welcome to Wrexham’ will return for a second season. The new season is set to premiere on Wednesday, September 13.
The recent announcement comes after “Welcome to Wrexham” received six Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Unstructured Reality Series.
The recent announcement of the nominations came as Wrexham AFC embarked on their first US tour of friendly matches against the likes of global footballing giants Chelsea and Manchester United.
“More than a town,” shared @disneyplusza. “FX's Welcome to Wrexham is back for season 2. Coming soon to #DisneyPlusZA.”
The first season of ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ showcased Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds finding their feet as they learn how to run the club, which is notably the third oldest professional football club in the world.
The pair famously teamed up to purchase the fifth tier club back in 2020 in the hopes of turning things around at Wrexham AFC despite neither having any experience in football or working with each other.
The docuseries tracks the two actors as they embark on an entertaining crash course in football club ownership and explores the emotive side of the game as Reynolds and McElhenney carry the hopes of a working-class town in North Wales, UK.
A press release from Disney+ painted the picture of the upcoming second season, “After a painful elimination in the playoffs, season two continues to track the club as they fight for promotion out of the National League and return to the English Football League.
“Dedicated staff and supporters hold on to the dream of returning the team and town to glory while bracing for the new-found challenges that fame has brought to their small community.”
