Will there be a second season of Welcome to Wrexham?

Just a week after the season one finale aired, Wrexham owners Reynolds and McElhenney took to social media to confirm there will be a second season of the hit show.

The first season of Welcome to Wrexham aired on August 24, 2022 with episodes released weekly until October 12, 2022. 

It’s likely season two of the show will follow a similar release timeline to make the most of current interest surrounding the club and acclaim for the show

Welcome to Wrexham was recently nominated for ‘Best Ongoing Documentary’ by the Critics Choice Awards. 

Wrexham’s current campaign will conclude by June at the latest giving the show’s producers a good two months to edit the footage they’ve captured. 

How many episodes will Welcome to Wrexham season two have?

Season one of Welcome to Wrexham consisted of 18 episodes varying in length.

The debut season notably covered a period of time longer than one year and also featured an episode dedicated to explaining Wales itself. 

While episode numbers for season two haven’t been confirmed, it will likely consist of fewer episodes as it focuses more on the Wrexham team’s fortunes in 2022/23.
