Rob McElhenney weighed in on two topics that have followed It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia as it heads toward its eighteenth season. The co-creator and actor offered new clarity about when the series will return and how many installments fans should expect. His comments arrive as production activity begins to ramp up on the long running comedy.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia gets major updates
Production on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 18 is underway, according to creator and performer Rob McElhenney. On February 11, he announced that cameras were rolling and later shared a photo of himself with Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton wearing tuxedos. The image paralleled the trio’s wardrobe from the show’s 2005 beginning.
A viewer asked whether the forthcoming season would contain more than eight episodes. Mac answered, “yep.” The same commenter wrote, “It’s always over so fast & I’m sad.”
Beginning with season 15 in December 2021, each installment of the FX series has run for eight episodes. Earlier years were longer, with seasons 8 through 14 at 10 apiece and seasons 2 through 7 spanning between 10 and 15. Season 1 totaled seven.
The actor did not reveal a precise number beyond confirming an increase. FX has not addressed the cause of the shorter orders introduced in recent years. A renewal announced in 2020 covered the show through season 18.
FX has not publicized a launch date. The network aired the two most recent seasons in summer 2023 and summer 2025. Set photos confirm Mac, Day, and Howerton will return, and Kaitlyn Olson and Danny DeVito are set to appear.
The finale showed Frank planning to marry Sam, played by Carol Kane, after they appeared on The Golden Bachelor. Producers have not detailed whether Kane will return. The team continues filming.
Mac’s caption read, “Great news, the tux still fits. Season 1 —> Season 18.” Among the responses were “THE BEARD????????? MAC WAS RIGHT GOD MIGHT BE REAL,” and “Pleeeeeeease say we’re getting more than 8 episodes this time!”
