‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’ Sets Return For Expanded Season 18 At FX

FX has set Monday, August 17 for the Season 18 premiere of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It returns with an expanded 10-episode season, up from eight episodes in the previous three seasons. It will premiere at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on FXX, FX and Hulu, and streaming on Disney+ internationally. The network also released Season 18 key art, which you can see below.

Now the longest-running live-action sitcom in TV history, It’s Always Sunny follows a group of deeply self-absorbed friends — played by Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, series creator Rob Mac, Kaitlin Olson, and Danny DeVito — and their chaotic misadventures while running the failing Philadelphia dive bar Paddy’s Pub.

In season 18, Charlie, Mac, Dennis (Howerton), Dee (Olson), and Frank (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.

Season 18 is executive produced by Mac, Day, Howerton, Michael Rotenberg, Nicholas Frenkel, David Hornsby, Rob Rosell, Scott Marder, Dave Chernin and John Chernin, and Vanessa McGee for FX Productions.
