Welcome to Wrexham season 2: how to watch, trailer, premise and everything we know

Welcome to Wrexham Season 2 continued to chart Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's journey as the owners of Wrexham AFC, the world's third-oldest professional football club.

The first season of Welcome to Wrexham introduced us to Ryan and Rob's unorthodox decision to purchase the Welsh football club. Throughout the first series, we saw them and their team of staff and players ride out the highs and lows of their first season together. Along the way, we met plenty of devoted fans and local residents and learned just how much the Red Dragons mean to their working-class town. 

Season two saw FX the football docuseries from the Peabody and Emmy award-winning production company Boardwalk Pictures returning for another round of exclusive, behind-the-scenes coverage from the Racecourse Ground.

Here's what you need to know about Welcome to Wrexham season 2.
