“The wild global success of ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ is a testament to the courage and vision of Rob and Ryan, the dogged spirit of the Red Dragons, and the hope and devotion of the people of Wrexham,” said Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment. “It’s a story that has only begun to be told and one that everyone can continue to follow along with in the third season. Our thanks to the creative team who captured these thrilling moments and everyone who achieved what seemed impossible only a short time ago.”

McElhenney and Reynolds teamed up to purchase the 5th tier Red Dragons in 2020 with the intention of building an underdog story the world could get behind. After a painful elimination in the playoffs, Season 2 continues to follow the club as they look to get promoted out of the National League and make their triumphant return to the English Football League. “Dedicated staff and supporters hold on to the dream of returning the team and town to glory while bracing for the new-found challenges that fame has brought to their small community,” reads the official description, per FX. The Season 2 finale airs on Nov. 14 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.

In addition to McElhenney and Reynolds, “Welcome to Wrexham” is executive produced by Josh Drisko, Bryan Rowland, Jeff Luini, Nick Frenkel, George Dewey and Boardwalk Pictures’ Andrew Fried, Dane Lillegard, Sarina Roma and Jordan Wynn. More Better Productions, Maximum Effort Productions, 3 Arts Entertainment and Boardwalk Pictures are the studios behind the docuseries.
