The gang is back for Season 18.

“It’s Always Sunny in Philaldephia” returns tonight, Aug. 17, with back-to-back new episodes. The longest-running American live-action sitcom is entering its 18th season.

In this supersized season — with 10 episodes — Charlie (Charlie Day), Mac (Rob Mac), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank (Danny DeVito) will be up to some of their usual tricks: “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,” per FX’s official synopsis of the new season.
