It\u2019s Always Sunny In Philadelphia<\/a> is returning for season 18 next month.<\/p>\n

The hit show is now the longest-running live-action sitcom in TV history, and FX has confirmed that the next season will launch on Monday August 17.<\/p>\n

It will premiere at 9pm ET\/6pm PT on FXX, FX and Hulu, and will also be available to stream on Disney<\/a>+ around the world.<\/p>\n

While the past three seasons have been comprised of eight episodes, the upcoming season will bring this number up to 10.<\/p>\n

Returning for the new season are the usual cast, Charlie Day (Charlie), Glenn Howerton (Dennis), series creator Rob Mac (Mac), Kaitlin Olson (Deandra) and Danny DeVito<\/a> (Frank).<\/p>\n

Across the 10 episodes, the show will find them discovering a newfound appreciation for neurodivergence, dealing with unemployment due to workplace automation, getting lost in conspiracy theories, finding a way around the general public drinking less, and trying to get their hands on a dead woman\u2019s inheritance.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Shelly Desai, who was well-known for starring in It\u2019s Always Sunny, passed away aged 90<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As well as the series, he also had credits in The A-Team, Friends, ER, Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? and Curb Your Enthusiasm, as well as films including Phantom Of The Paradise, Toys, Thelma & Louise and Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2.<\/p>\n

Before then, actor Rob McElhenney last summer made the appropriate legal filings to have his name officially changed<\/a> to \u201cRob Mac\u201d, and later admitted that he thought the move was \u201ckinda douchey\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mac was\u00a0interviewed by NME for the Soundtrack Of My Life<\/a> series, in which he shared the songs that mean the most to him.<\/p>\n

When asked about \u201cthe song I can\u2019t get out of my head\u201d, he responded with the Eagles<\/a>\u2019 anthem \u2018Fly, Eagles, Fly\u2019, a song that had been on loop for him in the lead-up to the Super Bowl. He also listed songs by The Beatles<\/a>, Bon Jovi<\/a>, Rage Against The Machine<\/a> and Johnny Cash<\/a>.<\/p>\n
