It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Mac & Dennis Form Country Boy Band?

Look, you have to cut us some slack. We've been riding shotgun with FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia since its first episode, so to be covering The Gang as they head into their record-breaking 15th season is an honor on a number of levels. So with filming kicking off this week, we will readily admit that we've been social media stalker-ish but you can't blame us. Between Rob McElhenney offering a look at the cover of the S15E01 script, Kaitlin Olson & Glenn Howerton in the midst of a poop prank battle, and Charlie Day lounging on a very familiar sofa bed in a very familiar apartment, there's been a lot to dive into. But I think we have our last update for the day, kicking off with Olson posting some love and appreciation for her "hair fairy", hairstylist Abby M. Roll:

Here's a look at Roll's post from earlier in the week expressing gratitude at being a part of the production "gang":

And then there's the matter of this. Earlier today, McElhenney posted a look at what can best be described (by McElhenney) as "Your Pop Teen Country Boy Band." Much like the preview below, Dennis and Mac's garb combined with them being by a voting station has us already laughing at the possibilities:

As we mentioned earlier, McElhenney took to TikTok to share a look at the front of the script for the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season opener. Written by McElhenney, Day & Howerton, and directed by Todd Biermann, the season will kick off with S15E01 "2020: A Year In Review"- with McElhenney offering a look at Mac that has us really, really concerned about how he spent his days leading into the new year.

Now here's a look at McElhenney's TikTok video from earlier with the reveal:

Here's a look back at McElhenney and Olson in full-on Mac and Dee mode on the set of Paddy's pub:

Bleeding Cool had the opportunity to ask Glenn Howerton about the upcoming 15th season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia during our one-on-one interview ahead of the most recent season of A.P. Bio late last year. In the clip below, Howerton explains that the combination of pandemic-related delays and other projects that the cast is committed to (for example, the second season of McElhenney's Mythic Quest, Olson's Jean Smart-starring comedy Hacks, the fourth season of A.P. Bio, etc.) has made it difficult to finalize a production ("at this point, it's more of a timing thing"). Though they may still be in the process of "trying to figure it out," Howerton expressed how excited and committed they are to a strong 15th run (saying "maybe even a sixteenth" at the time).
