by

In Season 17 of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” which starts airing on FXX on July 9, you can catch up on the gang’s antics a day later by streaming the episodes on Hulu.

This new season of the longest-running live-action comedy show features a fresh angle on the “Abbott Elementary” crossover, now seen through the eyes of characters like Mac, Charlie, Dennis, Dee, and Frank.

In a sneak peek of the upcoming series, the group gets involved with a local Philadelphia elementary school, secretly snatching brownies from students and trying out the children for a possible boy band opportunity.

This year marks the 20th anniversary since the premiere of the TV show ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,’ featuring Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson, and Danny DeVito. The seventeenth season, titled “The Gang Embraces the Corporate Era,” explores how Paddy’s Pub has been influenced by greed and the modern American Dream.”

The main characters in this story will manipulate cross-promotions across networks to boost market dominance, blame an individual within their group to avert negative publicity, take substantial risks for a meeting with the Saudis, circumvent laws through illicit side ventures to accumulate wealth, and alter themselves drastically to gain wider appeal. Essentially, they are corporate figures who covet money and exclusive social status. However, beneath their ruthless exterior, they yearn for human connections such as love, respect, freedom, attention, gratification, and uninhibited eroticism. This has been evident since 2005.

In Season 17 of “It’s Always Sunny,” the show is overseen by executive producers Danny DeVito, Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, Michael Rotenberg, Nick Frenkel, Dave Chernin, John Chernin, Rob Rosell, David Hornsby, Nina Pedrad, and Victor Hsu. This series is created by FX Productions.
