FX’s Emmy-nominated docuseries Welcome to Wrexham is set to kick off its second season with a premiere on September 12. The show follows the journey of Philly native and Always Sunny creator Rob McElhenney and Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds as they aim to revive the once-proud Wrexham Red Dragons, a fifth-tier football club from a small town in North Wales.
In the first season, despite earning six Emmy nominations, McElhenney and Reynolds fell short of their goal to promote Wrexham. But in the upcoming season, they will be determined to push their team to new heights. However, if you’re eager to know how the season unfolds, the real-life club’s season has already ended, so you can easily find out the results.
Philly fans won’t have to wait until September to catch a glimpse of Wrexham in action. The team is currently on tour, playing friendly matches against top Premier League clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United. On July 28, they will be in town to face the Union 2, the reserve squad of the Philadelphia Union, at Subaru Park.
For those who missed the first season and want to catch up, all episodes are available on Hulu. Additionally, each episode of the upcoming season will be available to stream on Hulu the day after it airs on FX.
Welcome to Wrexham not only focuses on the efforts of McElhenney and Reynolds to resurrect the club but also highlights the dedicated working-class fans of Wrexham. These fans live and breathe for their beloved team, which holds the distinction of being the third oldest professional football club in the world.
With its intriguing blend of Hollywood star power, underdog story, and diehard fan culture, Welcome to Wrexham captivated audiences and earned critical acclaim, including the six Emmy nominations. The second season promises to continue the gripping tale of passion, determination, and the pursuit of glory on and off the pitch.
Fans of the show and football enthusiasts alike can mark their calendars for September 12 and tune in to FX for the premiere of Welcome to Wrexham. The docuseries offers an intimate look into the world of a historic football club and the people fighting to bring it back from obscurity. Stay tuned for another season of exhilarating highs, heart-wrenching lows, and the power of the beautiful game.
