Up The Town! 5 Lovely Surprises From 'Welcome To Wrexham'
Welcome To Wrexham – FX’s sports docu-series about the increasingly good fortunes of a historic but seemingly ill-fated Welsh football club — returns to our screens in May 2024, barely six months after Season 2’s finale, with a two-episode premiere for the series’ third season. We’ve covered the fortunes of Wrexham AFC and its celebrity owners, Rob McElhenney (Mythic Quest) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), a few times, and even if you’ve never watched an episode, you’ll be able to dive right in with Season 3 and not be lost.
The new season’s trailer arrived hot on the heels of Wrexham AFC clinching promotion to League One for the 2025 season, allowing them to bypass a dreaded playoff series. It’s the Red Dragons’ second promotion in as many years, so even though there will be plenty of opportunities for nail-biting anxiety (this is a sports reality show, after all), viewers can go into the third season with the reassurance that no matter what sticky situations the team gets itself into, success is assured.
If you’re a completist type of new viewer who likes to get all of their assigned reading done ahead of class, Welcome to Wrexham’s first two seasons are available to stream on Hulu and Disney+ in their entirety. They’re solid binge options, featuring both standard 42-minute episodes and bite-sized episodes under 30 minutes. If you’re a Cliff’s Notes kind of person, though, there’s no shame in relying on a high-quality study aid. To get a feel for the series, read on for some surprising — let’s call them winning! — highlights of Wrexham’s first two seasons.
