FX Renews 'Welcome to Wrexham' for Season 4
Welcome to Wrexham Season 3 has just crossed the halfway mark of a much shorter third season (eight episodes, down from the dozen and half or so of the first two seasons), but fans have no worries about there being more. Even before Season 3 arrived, the Wrexham team clinched its second promotion in two years, practically guaranteeing a fourth season. FX confirmed the new season was officially greenlit during Disney’s upfront presentations, all but promising that the next season would return in the show’s new position as a late spring debut.
The promotion to the English Football League’s League 1, coming on the heels of last year’s to League 2, is a remarkable turnaround for the Red Dragons, who were on their 15 seasons in the National League, the lowest of England’s five professional football divisions, in 2020, when owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny purchased the team. Of course, when the two celebrities came to town, the dream was that this would be the outcome. However, the documented journey along the way has been nothing short of remarkable.
Wrexham is now one of the best-known EFL teams in the world despite being a mid-table team in the third division. Season 4 will be a whole new ballgame, if you’ll pardon the pun, as every team who has spent years kicking butt in League 1 and above and yet find themselves obscure in comparison to these underdogs, will have it out for the fan favorite.
