Disney has announced details on the upcoming 17th season of FX’s “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, which is the longest-running live-action comedy series in television history.

The fan-favorite, ever-inventive series marks the 20th anniversary of its series premiere this year. The new season will include The Gang’s take on meeting ABC’s Abbott Elementary in the conclusion to the highly anticipated crossover.

In the latest season, “The Gang Embraces The Corporate Era:” The story of how greed and the New American Dream have consumed Paddy’s Pub.

Seventeen seasons on, Ronald “Mac” MacDonald (Rob McElhenney), Charlie Kelly (Charlie Day), Dennis Reynolds (Glenn Howerton), Dee Reynolds (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito) return to shamelessly shed their “niche” label for grander aspirations.

They’ll exploit cross-network promotion to increase market share; they’ll scapegoat one of their own to avoid a PR backlash; they’ll risk everything for a handshake with the Saudis; they’ll bend the laws with side hustles to pad their pockets; and they’ll change everything about themselves to appeal to a broader audience.

And sure, like any corporate goon, the Gang craves money and parasitic social privileges. That’s been plain since 2005. But they’re also human beings. They crave love.. respect… conditional freedom… constant adulation… histrionic amounts of attention… non-stop gratification… and unfiltered, slaphappy eroticism.

In Season 17, they’ll chase them all down. And the money. Obviously, the money. They don’t want to spend the rest of their lives working like dogs.

Check out the trailer for the 17th season below:

The new season will be executive produced by creator Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Michael Rotenberg, Nick Frenkel, Dave Chernin, John Chernin, Rob Rosell, David Hornsby, Nina Pedrad, and Victor Hsu. The series is produced by FX Productions.

The show will return on Wednesday, 9th July 2025. The premiere will include the first two episodes beginning at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FXX linear channel, with episodes streaming next day on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ in Canada.  The new season is also coming to Disney+ internationally at a later date.

The previous seasons of “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” are also available to stream on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ internationally.
