Welcome to Wrexham looks to be returning for season two. The documentary series that follows events surrounding Wrexham A.F.C., as well as their owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, has been a resounding hit.

McElhenney himself confirmed that the show will come back for an additional season. “Oops. Sorry. Tonight is the last episode of Season 1 of @Wrexhamfx,” McElhenney tweeted on Wednesday. “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.”

The actor’s joke is a reference to another show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It has also been confirmed that season 16 of this show will be released sometime in the Fall of 2023.

The website claims the show, starring McElhenney and Reynolds, finished as the seventh-most watched show in the United States for the week of September 2nd.

McElhenney and Reynolds previously bought Wrexham A.F.C in a deal completed in February of 2021. Fans of the team overwhelmingly backed the purchase by the duo with nearly 99% of voters happy with the agreement.

Founded in 1864, Wrexham is the oldest team in Wales. The Red Dragons currently compete in the fifth tier of the English Football League’s system.

Due to the public attraction of the new owners, the club was included in FIFA 22 as a “Rest of the World” team. It was the first non-league club to be included in the video game.
