It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is back and The Gang is going places.
Season 17 kicks off with the highly-anticipated second part to the show’s crossover with another Philly-set sitcom, Abbott Elementary. While The Gang visited Abbott back in January with the episode “Volunteers,” viewers have only seen the Abbott half so far. That all changes tonight with the season premiere, “The Gang F***s Up Abbott Elementary,” where we’ll see the events through the R-rated Sunny lens.
Later in the season, they’ll go even further — all the way to the Bachelor Mansion. That’s right: Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito) is the new Golden Bachelor and Jesse Palmer will even make an appearance as the host of the storied franchise.
