Season 3 of FX’s Welcome to Wrexham focuses on the trials and tribulations that come with a league promotion for the Red Dragons after their successful season 2, where they were finally rewarded with a long-awaited league promotion. The season premieres with two episodes on Thursday, showcasing the challenges and obstacles faced by the team in their new league.
One interesting cameo in the new season is from Hugh Jackman, who is a Wrexham fan and wanted to meet the players. However, he may not have received the warm reception he expected, as his visit followed a tough loss for the team. Ryan Reynolds, one of the co-owners of Wrexham and star of the show, described the loss as a “good old-fashioned pants-down spanking in the supermarket,” highlighting the emotional impact of defeat on the players.
The atmosphere in the locker room after a loss is described as somber and devastating by Reynolds and his co-owner, Rob McElhenney. Despite the disappointment, the owners make sure to show their support for the team win or lose. The focus of the season is on portraying the realities of the soccer world, highlighting the dedication and passion of the players and the impact of wins and losses on the team’s morale.
The show has garnered a positive response from viewers, allowing them to connect with the story and feel part of something bigger than themselves. The co-owners emphasize the importance of storytelling in creating a sense of community and belonging, especially for fans who can now watch the games and engage with other supporters through social media. The impact of the show has extended beyond Northern Wales, with fans from all over the world finding connections with the team and its journey.
Reynolds and McElhenney are not just co-owners of the team; they are avid fans of the Red Dragons, closely following the players and games. They share a genuine connection with the team and the entire club, appreciating the hard work and dedication of everyone involved. Despite their busy schedules and commitments, they make time to support the team and experience the excitement of watching the games live.
The owners emphasize the importance of living in the moment and appreciating the journey, both in their private lives and with Wrexham. They highlight the significance of gratitude and taking the time to savor special moments before moving on to the next challenge. Reynolds shares a personal anecdote about teaching his kids to be present in the moment and not just go through the motions, reflecting on the importance of immersing oneself in experiences and appreciating them fully. The new season of Welcome to Wrexham promises to continue exploring these themes and sharing the emotional journey of the Red Dragons with viewers around the world.
