List of episodes
"The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon 7" is the second episode of the fifteenth season of the American sitcom television series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It is the 156th overall episode of the series and was written by story editors Keyonna Taylor and Katie McElhenney and directed by Pete Chatmon. It originally aired on FXX on December 1, 2021, airing back-to-back with the previous episode, "2020: A Year In Review".
In the episode, upon discovering that their self-made Lethal Weapon sequels have been pulled from the local library, the Gang decides to address their political incorrectness by making the sequel Lethal Weapon 7. The episode is a continuation of the 2010 episode "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth" and the 2013 episode "The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon 6", both of which involve the Gang recreating their own version of Lethal Weapon. The episode was described as a meta-commentary on previous episodes being removed from streaming due to their use of blackface.[1]
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.237 million household viewers and gained a 0.11 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the series' meta-commentary on the previous episodes and the performances of the cast.
