FXXIt's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is about to make television history.
FXX announced today that it has renewed the sitcom for not one but two more seasons, 13 and 14, tying for the record of longest-running live-action comedy in television history (with The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, which ran from 1952 to 1966).
The show, which just completed its eleventh season, was already renewed for season 12, which will debut in early 2017.
That means three more years of your favorite possibly racist, definitely screwup bar owners Mac (Rob McElhenney), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Charlie (Charlie Day), Dee (Kaitlin Olson) and Frank (Danny DeVito), who somehow manage to keep Paddy's Pub open despite actively sabotaging it on a practically daily basis.
"If anyone doubts the power of a camcorder and a dream, just look at It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which was a DIY backyard pilot when Rob, Charlie and Glenn brought it to FX and will go down in TV history as one of the most loved and enduring comedies," said FX Networks and FX Productions Original Programming President Nick Grad. "Few shows make it this far or have such devoted fans, and we owe it all to the creative vision and great humor of the creators and cast who keep Sunny fresh and inventive every season."
Season 11 ended with a two-part episode that saw the gang go to hell after committing all manner of sins aboard a Christian cruise—or just in an insurance claims adjustor's office telling him their story after the boat sank. Typical.
