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.
“We can also confirm there will a season two of Welcome to Wrexham for our millions of new fans,” Reynolds said in a video posted to Twitter.
