The boys are officially on their way back to town — and Sweet Dee (Kaitlin Olson) is coming along too. After wowing audiences with an incredible 17th season of mischief, mayhem, and more half-baked plans than we can count, the crew behind It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia are pushing forward with Season 18. Yesterday, in an Instagram post, series co-creator and star Rob Mac shared an image of a clapperboard with the words “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia 18” on it, signifying a major step forward for the beloved R-rated sitcom. In his caption, the Mythic Quest creator wrote “Back in the kitchen,” pointing to the stovetop that the clapperboard is resting on in the image.
Now billed as the longest-running live-action sitcom in history, Sunny’s 18th season is a huge one of celebration for both the folks at the center and their fans who have been with them for nearly two decades. The last set of episodes graced our screens over the summer and included such hijinks as Frank (Danny DeVito) competing on The Golden Bachelor, Mac (Mac) and Dennis (Glenn Howerton) finding their calling as EMTs, Charlie (Charlie Day) pursuing a career in food service, and the whole crew revisiting one of their very first storylines and retracting their previous beliefs about underage drinking.
The season was one of the best in recent memory, and, after a two-year wait following the one before it, Mac’s message to the world is a promising one that 18 might be closer than we thought. In his review of the latest lineup of episodes, Collider’s Ross Bonaime gave the season eight out of ten stars, writing:
“Season 17, when it’s at its best, reminds of everything that makes It’s Always Sunny such an incredible record-breaking comedy. This season is genuinely hysterical, whether in going too far, playing around with a specific parody, or getting meta with their humor, proclaiming that Disney’s “never going to air this” in regards to Frank’s The Golden Bachelor season.”
What to Expect From Season 18 of ‘It’s Always Sunny’
It’s a true testament to the creative hive mind behind Sunny to see the title move into its record-breaking 18th season with new stories to tell. While we may not know specifics about where the gang will take things this time, DeVito previously praised the brainpower of his co-stars in an interview with Collider’s Joe Schmidt, revealing:
“I'm looking forward to it. Who knows what they're going to do, because you never know. I mean, Charlie [Day] and Rob [McElhenney] and Glenn [Howerton] get into a writers room and, you know, it's probably like, in the Wizard of Oz, you know, but reversed, hurricanes on the inside of the room. They're on brooms. There's shit flying by them, ideas and all kind of crazy stuff. And they know anything they want to do to Frank, they can.”
Check out Mac’s post above and get caught up on the first 17 seasons of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, now streaming on Hulu.
