FX has renewed its freshman comedy “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” the network confirmed Thursday.

The ensemble series was one of two original comedies launched by the Fox Cable Networks-owned channel this summer. The other, the eating disorder comedy “Starved,” has not been renewed.

Both shows averaged about a 0.9 — less than the average viewership of FX’s popular dramas — and divided critics. As its name implies, “Sunny” was the more upbeat of the two programs and featured a younger cast.

A renewal decision has not yet been made on FX’s Iraq war drama “Over There,” according to a spokesperson.
