In its ongoing tradition, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia moves forward with Season 17, diving once again into outrageous situations that showcase some of the most audacious and morally questionable antics ever seen on TV.
As a dedicated cinema enthusiast, I’ve just witnessed the culmination of an exciting crossover between the latest season and the Philly-based sitcom, Abbott Elementary. This engaging collaboration was first introduced on the office mockumentary series earlier this year, much to the joy of both critics and fans alike.
In July, following the U.S. debut of new episodes, co-creator Rob Mac (previously known as Rob McElhenney), expressed his belief that this was the “finest season of Sunny yet” (as stated through X). Earlier in the same month, he also clarified the reason behind his sudden name change.
On social media, Mac discussed a video where he clarified that his original name was often misspelled or mispronounced during his rise to fame. To eliminate any future confusion, he decided to make the spelling of his name simpler.
If you’re eagerly anticipating the seventeenth season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, here’s what we currently know about upcoming episodes, as well as some conjecture regarding their potential release date in the United Kingdom.
When will It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17 arrive in the UK?
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17 does not yet have a confirmed release date in the UK.
On Wednesday, 9th July, the most recent episodes aired on FXX in the U.S., and they were accessible for streaming on Hulu the next day.
In the United Kingdom, many FX and Hulu series often make their way to Disney+, serving as a similar streaming platform for the local audience. However, unlike most shows, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has remained on Netflix for quite some time instead of moving to Disney+.
The usual practice is that the broadcaster releases new seasons of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” on Netflix approximately two to four months after their US debut. Therefore, we can anticipate a tentative UK premiere for season 17 around late summer or autumn 2025.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17 cast
The principal actors from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia are coming back, with Charlie Day playing Charlie, Glenn Howerton portraying Dennis, Rob McElhenney as Mac, Kaitlin Olson as Dee, and Danny DeVito reprising his role as the disreputable Frank, leading the gang at Paddy’s Pub.
In addition, they will also bring back familiar faces like David Hornsby (portraying the corrupt ex-priest known as Rickety Cricket) and Mary Elizabeth Ellis (depicting the waitress who has received Charlie’s affection unwillingly).

Additionally, you might encounter cameos from the actors of Abbott Elementary, including its creator Quinta Brunson, during the joint finale of both shows set in Philadelphia, which will be featured in the premiere episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Here’s a reminder of the core It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia cast heading into season 17.
- Charlie Day as Charlie Kelly
- Glenn Howerton as Dennis Reynolds
- Rob Mac (formerly known as Rob McElhenney) as Ronald ‘Mac’ McDonald
- Kaitlin Olson as Deandra ‘Sweet Dee’ Reynolds
- Danny DeVito as Frank Reynolds
- David Hornsby as Matthew ‘Rickety Cricket’ Mara
- Mary Elizabeth Ellis as The Waitress
What will happen in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17?
The sneak peek of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17 hints at more outrageous escapades from the Paddy’s Pub gang. They seem to have a collision course with the staff of Abbott Elementary, and there might be a romantic twist for Frank on a reality TV-like dating show.
The gang yearns for wealth and exclusive social status. This desire has been evident since 2005. Yet, they are more than just their desires; they are complex individuals with human emotions.

They yearn for affection, recognition, a degree of liberty with conditions, consistent praise, dramatic levels of focus, continual satisfaction, and unrestrained, joyful intimacy.
Suffice to say, it sounds like the gang’s outrageous antics won’t be slowing down anytime soon.
