It might be arguable, but many believe that mockumentaries are one of the most fun narrative styles for sitcoms. The Office proved that for a decade and beyond that. Fox’s latest sitcom, Welcome to Flatch, seems to be following suit, and who knows, it might end up becoming as popular. Because the after the success of its first season, the second season is all set to release, and fans are hoping that it goes a long way.

Premiered in March 2022, Welcome to Flatch is a fun-filled comedy series done in a documentary style, where a filming team goes around the titular small town in Ohio (don’t Google it, because it’s not real), documenting the lives of its residents. The town seems to be packed with intriguing and quirky personalities, of which two people Kelly Mallett and her cousin and best friend, Shrub Mallet, seem to be at the forefront of all action, and on screen.

The sitcom comes from the executive producers of The Office and Sex and the City and is based on the British series This Country created by Daisy May Cooper and Charlie Cooper. Welcome to Flatch is created by Emmy-winner, Jenny Bicks, who also serves as one of the executive producers on the show, along with Paul Feig, Angie Stephenson, Daisy May Cooper, and Charlie Cooper.

What Is Welcome to Flatch Season 2’s Story?

The premise of Welcome to Flatch is very simple. A documentary film crew is working on the lives of people in small-town America. And they land at Flatch, in Ohio. It’s a pretty decent-looking, peaceful place, and you might want to stay there if you could find decent-looking accommodation. However, Flatch seems to be filled with a bunch of eccentric but fun people. The crew starts following a group of young adults to see how they live and what they do around the town. The documentary explores their dreams, ambitions, problems, day-to-day lives, how they are at home and outside, events, as well as that of their neighbors, families, friends, and the works. However, the focus of the film appears to be on cousins Kelly and Shrub, and their peculiar whatnots.

Season 1 sets the foundation of the story and the townsfolk, digging into each character and what they are up to, which is a lot; and you can find it all out as and when you watch the show. The highlight of the first season is the local annual Scarecrow Festival where Kelly and Shrub compete. There are also the storylines of the local minister, Father Joe who mentors and guides the cousins, his girlfriend, Cheryl, who is the editor of The Flatch Patriot, the local newspaper, and so on. The first season ended with Episode 14, Merry Flatchmas, revolving around the town’s Christmas celebration. Kelly’s dad put her in charge of the festivities and as you would expect, it doesn’t really end up well.

Welcome to Flatch Season 2 will pick up right from where the previous season ended. But since it’s a documentary-style narrative, it might just begin like a new day with new events but old faces
