Welcome To Wrexham season two to arrive on Disney+ later this year

A second season of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s documentary series Welcome To Wrexham will be coming to Disney+ later this year, it has been announced.

The series documents the progress of Welsh side Wrexham AFC after being taken over by the Hollywood stars almost three years ago.

Their takeover of the club in September 2020 was considered by many to be a publicity stunt, though they have been praised for engaging with players and supporters alike.

They have made multiple donations to the club and community, including over £1,000 for youth football club kits and £10,000 to support a Wrexham player following the death of his baby.

Reynolds also sent a personal message to a young fan who had been diagnosed with cancer.

Welcome To Wrexham won the 2022 Critics Choice Documentary Award for best sports documentary, and the pair have even been honoured by the Welsh Government for their efforts.
