Welcome to Wrexham will officially return for a fourth season.

The docuseries follows Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, who in 2020 teamed up to purchase the 5th tier Wrexham AFC – the 3rd oldest professional football club in the world – in the hopes of turning the Club into an underdog story the whole world could root for. After 15 painful seasons in the National League, the Red Dragons finally achieved promotion back into the English Football League. League Two brought a new level of intensity and the Club continued to be plagued with injury and setbacks. Nonetheless, the team was recently promoted to the English Football League’s League One (3rd Tier), the team’s second consecutive elevation in as many years.

While the journey to that promotion is being chronicled in the show’s third season, Disney+ has already greenlit a fourth season.

At the same time, Wrexham AFC’s Women’s Team, fresh off an undefeated season that saw them promoted to the Welsh Adran Premier League, continue to show why women were meant to be footballers. With new players, a new pitch, and a whole new level of competition, can they continue to dominate and make a name for themselves at the top of the League?

For the first time ever in Season 3, with the team taking their place in the EFL, Welcome to Wrexham’s cameras have unprecedented access on the pitch, bringing viewers inside the locker room and alongside the players, while the action is unfolding in some of the biggest matches Wrexham AFC has ever played.

“Wrexham AFC has exceeded all expectations on the pitch and with fans, scoring back-to-back promotions under the leadership of Rob and Ryan and rising to compete in League One next season,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. “Welcome to Wrexham is scoring big too, winning five Emmy Awards and a fourth season that will continue to document the team’s remarkable journey and its impact on the Wrexham community and growing legion of fans worldwide.”

 

Welcome to Wrexham renewed for Season 3

18th November 2023

Welcome to Wrexham will return for a Season 3 on Disney+.

The docuseries follows the Hollywood stars as they navigate running the third oldest professional football club in the world in a working-class town in North Wales.

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 worry? Rob and Ryan had no experience in football or working with each other. From Hollywood to Wales, from the pitch to the locker room, the front office to the pub, Welcome to Wrexham tracks Rob and Ryan’s crash course in football club ownership and the inextricably connected fates of a team and a town counting on two actors to bring some serious hope and change to a community that could use it.

Season 2 arrived in September and continued to track the club as they fight for promotion out of the National League and return to the English Football League. Now, following Season 2’s finale this week, Disney+ has ordered a third season that will premiere in spring 2024.

“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.”
