"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" season 17 marks 20 years since the team first made a pilot for FX. "These kids didn't know what they were doing, but they had a vision," said Glenn Homerton (who plays Dennis) on Instagram. "Thank you to FX for trusting that vision. Thank you to our fans who preached the gospel from the start. We are eternally grateful." As the team close in on episode 200, so are we...
"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" season 17 airs on FXX and then on Hulu in the U.S. the following day — viewers abroad can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.
The first two episodes of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' season 17 air on FXX on Wednesday, July 9 at 9 p.m. ET and are available to stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ the following day.• U.S. — Watch on FXX via Hulu with Live TV / Sling Blue / Fubo• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
To make up for the interminable wait between season 16 and 17 (Thank God IASIP doesn't do cliff hangers), the show gets straight into it with a crossover episode with ABC sitcom "Abbot's Elementary". The gang are there as volunteers right? Erm... while the second half of the double bill sees Frank on his death bed and Dee beside herself. Or so we're told.
But is there ever any point wondering what's going to happen next in a show where the whole point of the show seems to be that you don't know what's going to happen next. Except of course, we know that Rickety Cricket is in the cast (played by David Hornsby) so we know that if any bad luck is hanging around, we know where it's going to end up.
