What’s on TV This Week: ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ and the MTV Video Music Awards
The documentary series about a soccer club owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney returns for a second season. And the annual award show airs live.
Between network, cable and streaming, the modern television landscape is a vast one. Here are some of the shows, specials and movies coming to TV this week, Sept. 11-17. Details and times are subject to change.
Monday
THE PARENT TRAP (1998) 5:45 p.m. on Freeform. If you grew up in the ’90s, like I did, there is a good chance that you know by heart the quite intricate handshake made famous by this movie, which stars Lindsay Lohan as identical twin sisters separated at birth who accidentally meet at summer camp. They decide to switch places and hatch a plan to get their parents back together. Obviously, shenanigans ensue.
Tuesday
MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS 8 p.m. on MTV. Starbucks has released their pumpkin-themed menu, influencers and celebrities have flocked to New York for Fashion Week and people are saying it’s fall even though temperatures are dangerously approaching 100 degrees. All of this can only mean one thing: It’s time for the annual MTV VMAs. Airing live from the Prudential Center in New Jersey, Olivia Rodrigo, Demi Lovato, Lil Wayne and many others will perform, and Shakira and Sean “Diddy” Combs will be among the awardees.
WELCOME TO WREXHAM 10 p.m. on FX. In 2020 Rob McElhenney (of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” fame) and Ryan Reynolds (of “Deadpool” fame) bought the third oldest soccer club in the world, which resides in Wrexham in North Wales, with the goal of bringing it back to glory. Now, the second season begins as the team, McElhenney and Reynolds prep for a visit from King Charles III.
