Welcome to Wrexham Season 2 has officially hit our screens today and we’ve been getting insight from all areas – including how the whole spectacle was filmed.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have drastically changed life at Wrexham. The small Welsh town is now the epicentre of a Disney+ hit series, the team are in the EFL and they have the likes of Will Ferrell, Hugh Jackman and many more visiting the Racecourse.
If you’d have told a Red Dragons fan that a few years ago, they’d have replied with something that quite frankly we can’t write.
With monumental change at the club, also comes change for the fans. It has been for the better, but the ‘new Wrexham’ has meant crazy matchday experiences for supporters, particularly in the lead-up to the new series.

Fan gives insight into filming of new series
As most of the series follows fans as well as the side, the producers were keen to get dedicated, match-going supporters to take part in the series.
Via the BBC, Wrexham fan Chelsea Humphries was interviewed for the latest season and gave an insight on how fans were involved in the filming.
“They film absolutely everything, home games, away games, everything… It’s absolutely surreal,” she said.
“They also hand out little fan-cams for both home and away. I’ve had a fan-cam for a few of the away games so it’s just waiting to see if any of my snippets of the goals or the celebrations get in.
It’s interesting to see how much goes into it. Fans are a huge part of the show, following the dedicated lives of some of Wrexham’s finest.
It’s nice to show this aspect, as it makes the show entirely more personal – in comparison to other sports documentaries.
“I absolutely love watching football documentaries and so watching one of my town and my club is just unbelievable,” she added.
Well, Chelsea has to wait no longer! Welcome to Wrexham Season 2 is streaming now – go watch it now to see all the magic of last season unfold.
