The story of two friends who pool their resources to purchase a struggling football team in Wales is told in the movie Welcome to Wrexham.
Okay, so calling the two buddies “scrape” for two successful actors like Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney is certainly a stretch. But the rest is accurate! They actually did purchase Wrexham A.F.C., a Welsh football team that competes in the fifth level of English football.
In our preview, we referred to season one as “a real-life version of Ted Lasso,” and by the time the 18-episode first season was up, we were left wanting more.
Fortunately, we are getting just that. Reynolds and McElhenney stated that a season two was confirmed and in the works not long after the season one finale aired. So after reading what to anticipate and when, if you haven’t already, go to Hulu (or Disney Plus outside of the United States) and binge-watch the entire first season.
Welcome to Wrexham season 2 release date speculation
We don’t yet have a release date for the second season, despite the fact that Ryan Reynolds announced it on Twitter exactly one week after the first one ended on October 12, 2022.
In a sense, we don’t even know what will be covered in the second season. The inaugural season ran from the completion of the 2021–2022 season in late May 2022 until Reynolds and McElhenney’s purchase of the team in September 2020. This second season is anticipated to be a little bit shorter and will only cover the 2022–2023 season, which ends at the latest in early June 2023.
If so, it wouldn’t be out of the question for the show to premiere in late August 2023. Since the first season premiered on August 24, 2022, there is precedent for following that schedule.
Who are Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney?
The titular role in the Deadpool superhero picture series made Ryan Reynolds famous in Hollywood. He is a Canadian-born actor, producer, and businessman. From 2008 until 2011, he was wed to the actress Scarlett Johansson; he is currently wed to Blake Lively. Three kids were born to the couple.

When did they take over Wrexham FC?
The club first expressed interest in making an investment in September 2020, and the acting couple finally took control of Wrexham in February 2021 when they made an instant investment of £2 million in the National League team.
With a whopping 98 percent of Wrexham supporters supporting the deal, the sale was overwhelmingly approved.
What are their plans for the club?
“Our goal is to grow the team, return it to the English Football League in front of larger attendances at an enhanced stadium while making a good influence to the wider community in Wrexham,” the two said during a call with supporters before the takeover was finalised.
We want to attend as many of the games I can make at the Racecourse Ground, Reynolds continued. We want to share a pint with the supporters, be fantastic club ambassadors, and represent the club on a global scale.
Since then, they have added a new manager and players to the team, putting them just short of being promoted to the professional football league.
Ryan Reynolds responded that he wants Wrexham to compete in the Premier League when asked what his ultimate goal for the team was prior to the most recent FA Cup match against Sheffield United.
What happened in Season One of Welcome to Wrexham?
The focus of the series was the two stars’ successful takeover of Wrexham after careful planning, as well as their efforts to strengthen the team and the surrounding Wrexham neighbourhood.
Immediately after Reynolds and McElhenney took management, the club improved to eighth place in the National League from 20th place before the takeover.
In the first full season following the ownership, Wrexham finished in second place, just missing out on promotion to the English Football League second level.
Along the way, a wide range of individuals associated with the football team and the Wrexham neighbourhood were presented to the viewers, including supporters, players, volunteers, and local business owners.
What will Season Two be about?
A week after the first season ended in October of last year, Ryan Reynolds tweeted that there would be a second.
Season Two of the club’s developing success, which presently has them in first place of the National League and fighting to extend their FA Cup run after forcing Sheffield United to a replay following a thrilling 3-3 draw, is anticipated to continue.
The success of Wrexham AFC women, King Charles III and Camilla the Queen Consort visiting the Racecourse Ground, ongoing funding issues for a new stand, convincing the Wrexham Supporters Trust to give up the lease on the Racecourse, and plans for Wrexham to play American teams in the off-season are additional plots that are likely to be included.

What will Welcome to Wrexham season two cover?
The second season of Welcome to Wrexham will cover the town’s progress from 2022 to 2023.
The series is anticipated to begin off where it left off in season one, with the club recovering after a tumultuous season in 2021–2022.
Wrexham is seeking to move up the English football pyramid from the National League, which is the fifth division, to the EFL League Two.
