‘Shameless’ Season 6 Trailer: Gritty New Preview Released [Watch]
Showtime's "Shameless" has featured some of the grittiest and most hilarious themes on television, but by the looks of the Season 6 trailer, it is about to reach a new level of comical human depravity.
According to Deadline, the show's sixth season is going to be set just a few months after Season 5, and it will be going back into the winter time for the Gallagher family with their infamously comical exploits and troublesome themes.
The show has notoriously exploited the plight of an urban lower class family who is always broke and always fighting just to stay alive. They break all laws known to man, and beneath their entire charade, there has been one thing that they have always clung to -- family.
Even though they have one of the hardest lives anyone can ever imagine, they never stop surviving, and in some way, make their way in the world of modern day Chicago.
The series has never been known to shy away from any taboo topic in American culture, which includes rape, incest, larceny, organ theft, drugs, underage sex or onscreen sodomy.
So that sets the stage for Season 6, which features many of the taboo topics just mentioned and a few others the show has not explored yet. That includes child incarceration, teen pregnancy and William H. Macy getting caught pleasuring himself in a graveyard in the middle of the day.
The show is based off a series of the same name that originated in the U.K. and has been a hit for the premium cable network over the past five years. Suffice it to say, even though it is billed as a straight comedy, it has enough juicy and forbidden themes to shock viewers to their core. It is rated TV-MA for television, and for good reason.
"Shameless" is set to premiere on Jan. 10, 2016, at 9 p.m. EST.
Check out the hilarious new trailer below for Season 6 titled "Just Family Stuff."
