Rob McElhenney has confirmed that “Welcome to Wrexham” will return for a second season in 2023.
The finale of the first season aired on Wednesday night, which was followed by a tweet from McElhenney confirming the show would return next year.
“Tonight is the last episode of SEASON 1 of @WrexhamFX, the actor said.
“SEASON 2 will return next year. I have a clause in my contract that stipulates I will not do anything less than 16 seasons of a TV show,” he added, a tongue-in-cheek reference to his long-running series “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
“Welcome to Wrexham” followed McElhenney and fellow actor Ryan Reynolds as they purchased and took over Wrexham AFC, a fifth-tier Welsh club looking to advance up the English pyramid.
The first season of the show chronicled the end of the 2020-21 campaign and the 2021-22 season, in which Wrexham aimed for promotion out of the National League and into League Two.
Season two will feature Wrexham’s current campaign, which began in August and will run through May.
The series has aired in the U.S. on FX and Hulu and in the UK on Disney+.
Viewers in the U.S. who can’t get enough Wrexham won’t have to wait until season two for more, as ESPN2 will broadcast the club’s FA Cup match against Blyth Spartans this Saturday.
