It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an American comedy television series created by Rob McElhenney, and developed by McElhenney and Glenn Howerton, who also serve as writers and executive producers with Charlie Day. The series premiered on August 4, 2005, on FX, and moved to its sister network FXX beginning with its ninth season. The series follows a group of five narcissistic underachievers: twins Dennis (Howerton) and Deandra "Sweet Dee" Reynolds (Kaitlin Olson), their friends Charlie Kelly (Day) and Ronald "Mac" McDonald (McElhenney), and their legal father Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito), who run Paddy's Pub, a run-down bar in South Philadelphia.
In December 2020, the series was renewed through an eighteenth season, making it the longest-running live-action comedy series in American television history in terms of seasons. The eighteenth season premiered on August 17, 2026.
