Welcome to Wrexham Season 3 review: Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney embark on League Two journey in latest chapter

Wrexham FC are back in the EFL and looking to continue their climb up the English football pyramid in the new season of the hit show from Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Reynolds and McElhenney own the club, which earned promotion to League Two in the second season of the docuseries.

"Welcome to Wrexham" has given casual American soccer fans unprecedented inside access into the everyday world of lower-league English football. The show led to astronomical growth of the club's fanbase, especially in the United States.

The 2023-24 season began with a summer preseason tour of the United States against the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United and ended with a second consecutive promotion — this time to League One, the third tier of English football.

The Sporting News secured an early look at the first three episodes of Season 3, which does a wonderful job of highlighting the growth of the club and the tension of a long season while navigating the weekly monotony of lower league football. The show also serves up a strong mix of realistic day-to-day footage and media narratives.

Fans have become used to the kind of exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the club that "Welcome to Wrexham" provides, but the show has outdone itself with the level that Season 3 provides. With cameras and microphones in places and situations you'd never expect, Season 3 of "Welcome to Wrexham" makes viewers feel like they're not just on the pitch for matches, but truly part of the club. It's no wonder fans in another continent have grown an affinity for the Welsh club.
