Share this @internewscast.com

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is back and The Gang is going places.

Season 17 begins with the eagerly awaited continuation of the crossover with another Philadelphia-based comedy, Abbott Elementary. While The Gang made a visit to Abbott last January in the episode “Volunteers,” up until now, only the Abbott segment has aired. This changes tonight with the season’s first episode titled “The Gang F***s Up Abbott Elementary,” where the unfolding events will be viewed through the R-rated lens of Sunny.

As the season progresses, they will venture further, reaching the Bachelor Mansion. Indeed, Frank Reynolds, played by Danny DeVito, is set to be the new Golden Bachelor, and Jesse Palmer is slated to appear in his role as the host of the renowned franchise.
