The boys are back in town! Returning for the second series of Welcome to Wrexham, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney document another season with their beloved football club Wrexham.
After the series’ much-anticipated release, fans have been racing to watch the latest installment on Disney+, but there’s a catch. While all eighteen episodes of the first season were available to watch right from the start, Disney+ has made some changes this time around, meaning episodes will air weekly.
Sparking an outcry from fans, many took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to vent their frustrations. “Disney+ what do you mean I can only watch 1 episode of Welcome to Wrexham a week!? What do you mean???” written by one.

“I’m not a fan of waiting a week for another episode of Welcome to Wrexham,” added another. Meanwhile, a third wrote: “Welcome to season 2 of Wrexham. One episode a week though, really? The point of streaming websites like @DisneyPlus is to binge watch. #WelcomeToWrexham.”
