How to Watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

The awkward comedy returns with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 15, premiering on FXX on Wednesday, December 1, at 10:00 p.m. The dark comedy sees the gang once again going awry of polite society as they attempt to exploit pandemic aid, sidestep cancel culture, and evade criminal justice, as well as go on a (slightly) more profound journey to explore their origins and homeland roots. Season 15 also marks a landmark for the series, as it breaks the record to become the longest-running sitcom of all time. With its satirical mix of dark comedy and social issues, it has maintained a strong fanbase going into this record year.
