Today FX has announced that it's bring back three of its off-beat comedies: Wilfred, Louie and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.


TV Guide reports that Wilfred- starring Elijah Wood and Jason Gann- will be coming back for a second season of 13 episodes.


Louie- starring Louis CK- will return with a third season of 13 episodes.


Both series have enjoyed good ratings with Wilfred pulling around 5 mill a week, and Louie increasing its ratings to around 3 mill.


They have also been praised for their unique styles and tendencies to eschew the normal.


And "Always Sunny" has nabbed itself a whopping two more seasons (bringing it into the "veteran" catergory with Seasons 8 and 9 on the way). Astoundingly, FX President John Landgraf also said "We actually have an option ... to pick up a 10th season (but) We're just picking up two for now." They obviously have a fan of the show in the big boss- which always helps.


Wilfred's renewal is good news for Eleven on Australian TV, who have been fast-tracking its debut season, while "Always Sunny" has been aired by Channel Seven.


Surely it's only a matter of time before an Australian network picks up Louie?
