It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17, Episode 7, or The Gang Gets Ready for Prime Time, airs on Tuesday, August 13, 2025, at 9:00 PM ET/PT on FXX. Standing as the penultimate episode of the ongoing season, this episode might as well have a climactic function within the new narrative structure of the show. It will be available to stream the next day, Wednesday, August 14, 2025, on Hulu.
Following the satirical and chaotic portrayal of aging by the gang in Season 17, Episode 6, there should be more of the show's raw humor. Although no official preview or synopsis has been released by FXX, the next episode seems to pick up from where episode 6 ended, but does not confirm any particular plot events.

What happened in the previous episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?
On Episode 6, Overage Drinking: A National Concern, the gang went back to the subject of their Season 1 episode on underage drinking, but this time, they used it for senior citizens. The team tried to get immersed in senior social life, reproducing their earlier adventures from teen parties, but now in a retirement age group.
The program brushed up against issues of aging, obsolescence, and social decline, all wrapped up in the program's signature cast of dysfunction and satire.
What can we expect from the upcoming episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17 Episode 7 is titled The Gang Gets Ready for Prime Time and focuses on the gang getting ready for Frank's "Hometown Visit" with his Golden Bachelor partners. While this is just a fairly short logline, it does give us an idea of what direction this episode is headed, and it looks like quite a mix of parody, performance, and the gang's typical chaos.
The term "Golden Bachelor partners" is probably an allusion to reality dating television programs, particularly age-based spin-offs like The Golden Bachelor. This sets the audience up for a story in which Frank is probably engaged in or mimicking such a program, bringing romantic tension, public exposure, and image issues to the forefront of everyone's minds.
The title "Hometown Visit" is particularly insightful, as it implies the type of over-the-top segment that can be found in dating shows where couples have friends and relatives meet the other half. The rest of the gang, Mac, Dee, Charlie, and Dennis, appear to rehearse their acting in anticipation of this visit. This probably implies viewers are going to see caricatures of their already ridiculous personalities, through the lens of what normal families or good friends are supposed to be.
Given previous episodes, one can expect their rehearsals to go awry, with fictionalized personas, uncomfortable interactions, and possibly a full-on performance for Frank's possible romantic visitors. As this is the penultimate episode of the season, it might also act as a bridge to the Season 17 finale. Although It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia never truly follows classic serialized television, the last couple of seasons have pushed more continuity.
Trending
Episode 7 may set up a final conflict, confrontation, or running gag that culminates in Episode 8. While no official full trailer or longer preview from FXX exists, the title and logline strongly indicate a reality-TV spoof infused with the gang's usual preoccupation with notice, image control, and interpersonal sabotage.
