Their journey, chronicled in an 18-episode debut season, has garnered significant attention.
The show received a remarkable 6 Emmy nominations in categories such as Directing, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Cinematography, Picture Editing, and the highly acclaimed Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program.
McElhenney, sharing his thoughts on the experience, said, “Meeting the folks in Wrexham made us realize that their story could touch hearts across the globe, as they see themselves mirrored in it.” Reynolds, too, chimed in, noting, “Even people who’ve never had an interest in sports before have found themselves drawn to this team.”
With an endearing fanbase and an underdog narrative that’s hard to resist, support for the team comes naturally. The much-loved series “Welcome to Wrexham” is gearing up for its second season, set to premiere on September 12 on FX.
Notably, FX is under the wing of The Walt Disney Company, which also owns this very ABC station.
The story of Wrexham and its newfound journey is indeed a captivating tale of passion, connection, and the beautiful game that unites us all.
