A few hundred years ago we had gladiators, now we have the cinema, and it looks like 2017 is the year we get to see our favorite actors beat each other up. The new Red Band trailer for Ice Cube and Charlie Day’s Fist Fight starts off with a brief overview of how horrible the students are at this rough school, but it’s the teachers themselves who’ll start a royal rumble once one of them gets on the other’s bad side.
FXX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia shows no signs of stopping, already booked for three more seasons, but one has to wonder if the decade-strong cast will ever run out of ideas. Certainly not in 2017 at least, as Charlie Day teases everything from water parks to another musical in Season 12.
In high school there was almost nothing more exciting than a school fight. It starts with a buzz of murmuring, then a frenzy breaks out as a swarm of bobbling backpacks rush to the center of the quad to see the brawl go down. The only thing that would make that refreshing break from youthful ennui even more thrilling is if that fight was between teachers. And thus, we have Fist Fight.
FX and FXX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia had already cemented that Paddy’s Pub would stay in business an additional year after the recent 11th season, and now the gang’s good misfortune may never end. FX has officially ordered Seasons 13 and 14 for Dennis, Dee, Mac, Charlie and Frank, tying a sitcom record in the process.
