Welcome to Wrexham season 3, the popular soccer docuseries featuring Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, is set to make its highly anticipated return in early May, as announced by FX. Originally scheduled for an April 18 premiere, the third season will now debut on May 2, with FX not providing a specific reason for the delay.
The show chronicles the journey of Reynolds and McElhenney as they take on the ownership of Wrexham, the third-oldest professional soccer club located in the town of Wrexham in Wales. The series, known for its fly-on-the-wall approach, garnered critical acclaim and won five Emmy Awards for its first season, with the second season concluding in December.
Renewed for a third season in November 2023, Welcome to Wrexham showcases the duo's efforts to transform the Red Dragons, a fifth-tier club, into a compelling underdog story that captured global attention. Following a remarkable promotion back into the English Football League after fifteen challenging seasons in the National League, the stakes are higher than ever in the upcoming season.
Season 3 promises viewers unprecedented access to the on-field action, offering a glimpse inside the locker room and capturing the intensity of some of Wrexham AFC's most significant matches. The show will air on FX and subsequently stream on Hulu, with the season premiere featuring the first two episodes to kick off the new installment.
With fans eagerly awaiting the return of Welcome to Wrexham, the upcoming season is poised to deliver thrilling moments and compelling narratives as Reynolds and McElhenney continue their journey in the world of professional soccer ownership.
