‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Season 16 Preview
When “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” premiered its 15th season in 2021, it became the longest-running live-action American comedy series, breaking the record for number of seasons set by “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet,” which ran for 14 seasons between 1952 and 1966. So every subsequent season of “It’s Always Sunny” sets a new record and it has been renewed through 18 seasons.
The FXX press release teases of season 16 that the gang is “ripping straight from the headlines” this season.
It reads:
The Gang™ is ripping straight from the headlines – Inflation, US-Russian relations, mental health, gender equality, injury liability, gun control, and… celebrity-branded products. But here’s a headline for you: “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Returns for Sweet Season 16!”
But there’s nothing sweet about them as Ronald “Mac” MacDonald (Rob McElhenney), Charlie Kelly (Charlie Day), Dennis Reynolds (Glenn Howerton), Dee Reynolds (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito) yearn for the past as they attempt to survive in 2023.
This year alone, Mac battles with allergies and long-distance dating, Charlie takes on his long-forgotten sisters, Dee fights for rent control and women’s athletics, Frank wrestles for his gun, and Dennis struggles to improve his mental health. At the end of the day, they’re navigating 2023 with 16 years of baggage as a few figures from their past rear their heads.
The premiere episode is titled “The Gang Inflates” and its description reads, “Dennis and Mac get into inflatable furniture to deal with the economy’s inflation, while Dee tries to find a place to crash after being evicted by her greedy landlord and Charlie wants to pitch Frank his crypto/online investment idea. And in this inflation episode everything gets bigger – Dee’s desperation, Mac’s lips, and even Charlie’s apartment!”
Immediately following the premiere is episode two, titled “Frank Shoots Every Member of the Gang.” Its description reads, “After Frank shoots Dennis and Dee, they resolve to take Frank’s gun away. Mac and Charlie go on a road trip with their moms to get their inheritances — for Mac, it’s letters written by his grandfather which have fallen into his Uncle Donald’s hands, while for Charlie, it’s a jar of teeth that is now in the hands of his sisters, Bunny and Candy.”
Then on June 14 comes episode three, titled “The Gang Gets Cursed.” Its description reads, “The Gang’s going to be on Bar Rescue but a series of bad omens leads them to believe they are all cursed. They set off to undo the curses and make amends to the people/things they’ve wronged. While Mac, who’s on a run of good luck, meets Chase Utley and invites him for a catch.”
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on FXX.
