Season nine will see 100th episode come to air

Showtime comedy Shameless has its season nine premiere Sunday, Sept. 9. Starring William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum, Shameless depicts the hapless but endearing Gallagher clan in Chicago.

In season nine, political fervor hits the South Side, and the Gallaghers take justice into their own hands. Frank (Macy) sees financial opportunity in campaigning. Fiona (Rossum) tries to build on her success with her apartment building and takes an expensive gamble. Lip (Jeremy Allen White) distracts himself from the challenges of sobriety by taking in Eddie’s niece, Xan (Amirah Johnson). Ian (Cameron Monaghan) faces the consequences of his crimes as the Gay Jesus movement takes a destructive turn. Debbie (Emma Kenney) fights for equal pay and combats harassment. Carl (Ethan Cutkosky) sets his sights on West Point. Liam (Christian Isaiah) must develop a new skillset to survive outside his private school walls. Kevin (Steve Howey) and V (Shanola Hampton) juggle the demands of raising the twins with running the Alibi.
