“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” has set its Season 18 premiere date at FX, FXX, and Hulu.
The hit comedy series will be back starting Aug. 17 at 9 p.m. ET across the two linear channels and streaming service, with the show streaming on Disney+ internationally. Unlike the previous three seasons, Season 18 will consist of 10 episodes rather than eight.
Season 18 continues the show’s record-breaking streak as the longest-running live-action comedy series of all time, a record it set with its 15th season in 2021.
The official description for the new season states:
“Charlie (Charlie Day), Mac (Rob Mac), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank (Danny DeVito) are wrapped up in salvaging inheritances from a dead woman, surviving tent encampments and the great inside-outside divide between the haves and have-nots, withstanding job loss at the hands of workplace automation, embracing a newfound appreciation for neurodivergence, questioning the fabric of society against conspiracy theories, and of course — the biggest elephant in the room — outlasting the public’s pendulum swing against drinking. Not to mention battling nerds, LARPers, and a particularly petulant McPoyle clan at the Renaissance Faire or sportswashing their way back into the good graces of their community by sponsoring a Little League team. All the while trying to maintain order in their personal lives and at Paddy’s, which have become increasingly lawless and erratic.”
