The Gang is back this week with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia kicking off its 18th season. Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson, and Danny DeVito are all reprising their roles as the narcissistic owners of Paddy’s Pub — and continuing the show’s record as the longest-running live-action sitcom ever.

At a Glance: How to Watch Always Sunny Season 18

• Stream: DirecTV, YouTube TV, Fubo, Sling, Hulu (next day)
• TV channel: FXX
• Premieres Monday, Aug. 17

Always Sunny Season 17 ended with [spoiler] Frank (DeVito) getting engaged to Sam (Carol Kane) in the show’s parody of The Golden Bachelor. But judging by the title of the Season 18 premiere episode, “Frank Marries a Corpse,” things might go wrong. Other confirmed episodes include “Dennis and Dee Don’t Get Rich,” “The Gang Gets Tested,” “2026: A Virtual Insanity,” and “The Gang Goes to the Ren Faire.”

New episodes of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 18 will air first on FXX before coming to Hulu the day after. If you want to watch episodes right when they come out, you can watch them using a live TV streaming service like DirecTV, YouTube TV, Fubo, or Sling. If you don’t mind waiting a day, head to Hulu.
