The American mockumentary sitcom, Welcome to Flatch, is back for a second season. Welcome to Flatch will air Season 2 episode 1 this Thursday, September 29 at 9 pm ET on FOX.
The Fox series is unarguably rising in popularity and is expected to make its mark as one of the best sitcoms on the network. The success of the first season made way for the series to be renewed for another season.
Welcome to Flatch premiered in March 2022. The comedy series was made in a documentary style, where a filming team went around the fictional small town of Flatch in Ohio as they documented the proceedings of the place and its residents. Flatch is packed with some intriguing and quirky personalities, like Kelly Mallett and her cousin and best friend, Shrub Mallet. Needless to say, they are the protagonists of the series.
All about Welcome to Flatch Season 2
The mockumentary style sitcom in its season 1 set the foundation of the story and the townsfolk by digging into each character and picking out their peculiarities. The highlight from season 1 was the local annual Scarecrow Festival where Kelly and Shrub competed. The local minister, Father Joe, was entrusted with mentoring and guiding the two cousins, his girlfriend Cheryl, the renowned editor of the local newspaper The Flatch Patriot, and others.
The season ended with its fourteenth episode titled Merry Flatchmas, which was set around the time of the town’s Christmas celebration. The highlight of the ending was that Kelly had put her dad in charge of the festivities and things went south.
The second season takes off from where the first season ended. So we can hope to see what happens next after the Christmas disaster. Sadly, we don't have a trailer for season 2 yet. It looks like we will be deep-diving into Flatch when the new season arrives.
So far, only three episodes of season 2 have been announced. Episode 1 is titled Welcome to (Barb) Flatch.
