The FX comedy series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia just will not stop as long as its writers keep having new ideas for the antics of its insane gang. And as this new trailer reveals, Season 18 will only keep going harder — with the episode count increasing to 10 episodes, a return to the show’s roots.
As the official description reveals, the show will continue its mix of super-topical comedy and absurdism:
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.
The new season will also bring back Carol Kane as Frank’s now-fiancé (hope those two crazy kids can work it out). It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns to FX on August 17th, streaming on Hulu. Check out the new trailer below, and also take a moment to look back on the madness of last year’s Sunny/Abbott Elementary crossover.
