Showtime's Shameless season 9 trailer is out and it looks more politically charged than ever

For the upcoming season, the story starts off on a turbulent note. As political fervor hits the South Side, and the Gallaghers take justice into their own hands.

'Shameless' is coming back for the 9th season and from the looks of the trailer, it seems like it will be a hell of a season. Hitting screens later this year, the Emmy Rossum and William H. Macy starrer is one of the longest-running shows for the network. The series depicts the dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher (Macy), a single father of six children. While he spends his days drunk or in search of misadventures, his kids learn to take care of themselves. He has six kids - Fiona, Lip, Debbie, Liam, Carl, and Sammi but not Ian. He pays little attention to his children on a daily basis but swoops in like Superman everytime there's something crazy going on. He's a contrast of a character - he is supercharged when it comes to political and social issues but makes a living trying to cheat people off their money. Macy's performance has earned him multiple awards and accolades through the years for this show, including a Screen Actors Guild award and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in Television Series Musical or Comedy.
