Always Sunny Season 16 Finale Overview: Dennis' Day Off From The Gang
Dennis looks to calm his rage in the overview for FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 16 Finale "Dennis' Day Off From The Gang."
After what might've been one of the funniest & most jaw-dropping episodes in the show's run so far, FXX's Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson & Danny DeVito-starring It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns next week with S16E05 "Celebrity Booze: The Ultimate Cash Grab." Yup, that means we're getting the introduction of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul to the "Always Sunny" universe. But for this update, we actually have a chance to look ahead to the season finale, "Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day," with the official overview added to our updated rundown of the 16th season. Without spoiling anything? It looks like we might get some insight into whether The Gang is the source of Dennis' (Howerton) rage – or what keeps it in check.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 16 Preview
The Gang is ripping straight from the headlines – Inflation, US-Russian relations, mental health, gender equality, injury liability, gun control, and… celebrity-branded products. But here's a headline for you: "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Returns for Sweet Season 16!" But there's nothing sweet about them as Ronald "Mac" MacDonald (Rob McElhenney), Charlie Kelly (Charlie Day), Dennis Reynolds (Glenn Howerton), Dee Reynolds (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito) yearn for the past as they attempt to survive in 2023. This year alone, Mac battles with allergies and long-distance dating, Charlie takes on his long-forgotten sisters, Dee fights for rent control and women's athletics, Frank wrestles for his gun, and Dennis struggles to improve his mental health. At the end of the day, they're navigating 2023 with 16 years of baggage as a few figures from their past rear their heads.
