FX has officially announced they’ve renewed Welcome to Wrexham just hours prior to the sports docuseries’ season two finale. The six-time Emmy nomination series follows Wrexham AFC’s Red Dragons following the purchase of the team by Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) and Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia).

“The wild global success of Welcome to Wrexham is a testament to the courage and vision of Rob and Ryan, the dogged spirit of the Red Dragons, and the hope and devotion of the people of Wrexham,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. “It’s a story that has only begun to be told and one that everyone can continue to follow along with in the third season. Our thanks to the creative team who captured these thrilling moments and everyone who achieved what seemed impossible only a short time ago.”

Season one premiered in August 2022 followed by season two in September 2023. The just-announced third season is targeting a 2024 premiere.

Series stars and football club owners McElhenney and Reynolds executive produce. Additional executive producers include Josh Drisko, Bryan Rowland, Jeff Luini, Nick Frenkel, George Dewey, and Boardwalk Pictures’ Andrew Fried, Dane Lillegard, Sarina Roma, and Jordan Wynn. The series is More Better Productions, Maximum Effort Productions, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Boardwalk Pictures production.

FX offers this description of the documentary series:

In 2020, Rob and Ryan teamed up to purchase the 5th tier Red Dragons in the hopes of turning the club into an underdog story the whole world could root for. The world took notice and change is afoot. 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.

From Hollywood to Wales, from the pitch to the locker room, the front office to the pub, Welcome to Wrexham follows Rob and Ryan’s stewardship and the inextricably connected fates of a team and a town in the midst of history in the making.
