Just as the seventh season of It's Always Sunny is launching, FX has announced that they have given a thirteen episode order to a new animated series from the same minds behind their twisted sitcom.

Several actors will be lending their voices to the series, including; Justin Long, Kristen Bell, Romany Malco, Kaitlin Olson, and Alexa Vega.
Unsupervised is produced by FX, in association with Floyd County and RCG Productions; the company founded by Sunny stars; Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton. Archer executive producers, Adam Reed and Matt Thompson will be handling the animation. Unsupervised is the first project to come from the deal between FX and RCG closed last month.
