On Oct. 18, McElhenney and Reynolds shared news of their two Critics Choice Awards nominations. In that same video, the duo confirmed a second season of Welcome to Wrexham is coming. “We can also confirm that there will be a season 2 of Welcome to Wrexham for our millions of new fans,” Reynolds said.
McElhenney previously teased Welcome to Wrexham Season 2 on Twitter when the final episodes of season 1 were released. “SEASON 2 will return next year,” the It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia creator tweeted. “I have a clause in my contract that stipulates I will not do anything less than 16 seasons of a TV show :)”
