Hours Before Ryan Reynolds’ Welcome to Wrexham Season 2 Release, Rival New Show Launched in UK

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney must be counting the hours with the second season of Welcome to Wrexham slated to air tonight. The first season of the docuseries received great reviews from fans, who enjoyed the behind-the-scenes of the club’s development. However, the second season could face a challenge in the UK, with a very similar series set to air alongside Welcome to Wrexham.

Ex-EastEnders stars are looking to compete alongside their Hollywood counterparts with a pretty exciting show. While Wrexham fans will be eager for the upcoming season, the series is bound to receive some competition. It seems like there is a surprising catch when it comes to the new competitor.

Welcome to Basildon set to compete with Ryan Reynolds’ show

Just hours into the release of Welcome to Wrexham, the show has already found a competitor. Ex-EastEnders stars Dean Gaffney and Shaun Williamson inspired by the popular docuseries, have surprisingly come up with an idea of their own. Inspired by their competition, Welcome to Basildon is set to revolve around Gaffney and Williamson’s efforts to revive Basildon AFC.

However, there is a big surprise revolving around the show. The former EastEnders stars haven’t bought the actual club. The show is just a parody of Welcome to Wrexham with their own humourous take.

It is surprising to see another pair of Hollywood stars take inspiration from Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Despite the competition, Welcome to Wrexham has been a highly anticipated show amongst the fans. With the show’s release just hours away, it will be interesting to see the response the show receives following a successful first season.
