It's Always Sunny Will Be the Longest-Running Live-Action Comedy Series in History

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has been renewed for a 15th season, which makes it the longest-running live-action comedy series in history. As originally reported by Deadline, TV network FX revealed its television slate through 2021, including the historic renewal for It's Always Sunny. The comedy had previously been tied with ABC's The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet with its 14th season last year. The show's fifteenth season puts it ahead of that competition... and there's no real chance that Ozzie and Harriet ties again with It's Always Sunny again, as its final episode aired in 1966.

It's Always Sunny star Rob McElhenney recently told IGN when asked about continuing the show. "I'll do it forever. If people keep watching it and we keep having fun, why would we ever stop? It's my dream job. That paired with FX chairman John Landgraf's statement to Deadline about how FX was "actively talking" to some of the cast about another season for the show had fans excited at the prospect of a 15th season so it's nice to have the record-breaking season confirmed. It's Always Sunny is a show about a gang of friends — McElhenney, Charlie Day, Kaitlin Olson, Danny DeVito, and Glenn Howerton — and their going-ons in the city of Philadelphia. The show airs on FXX and is produced by FX Productions, RCG Entertainment and 3 Arts Entertainment. While the new season has been announced, it's unclear as to when fans of the show can expect episodes to begin airing, but considering it's on the slate of FX programming through 2021, we at least know it will air within the next TV season or so.
