It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia S15 May Be "Our Best in Many Years"

Aside from giving Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin OlsonGlenn Howerton, Charlie Day, and Danny DeVito opportunities to flex their artistic muscles so that they return to Paddy's creatively refreshed, the other thing we like about The Gang working on projects that aren't FXX and FX on Hulu's record-setting It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? The things we learn about the upcoming seasons when they hit the trail to do the press junkets for the show or film they're currently committed to. That was the case with Howerton this week, stopping by Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote the fourth season of A.P. Bio on Peacock. Towards the end of the interview, Seth Meyers asked Howerton if it was difficult still coming up with ideas for a show that's been on for so long. Revealing that the upcoming 15th season will be his first time working in the writers' rooms since Season 12, Howerton described the process as "absolutely brutal" because of the care & concern put into the show not repeating itself. That said, Howerton also threw down the creative gauntlet regarding Season 15, describing it as "probably our best in many years."

While the "Always Sunny" talk kick in at around the final two minutes, check out the entire interview for some great back-and-forths between the two as they discuss Howerton adopting dogs, the new season of Peacock's A.P. Bio, and his relationship with his two sons:

McElhenney shared a TikTok video that (if we're looking at it through the proper lens) could only be viewed one way. The Gang has started cloning Danny DeVito. As you're about to see, it's pretty clear that that's what's going on- and we don't blame them. I mean, DeVito is a national treasure just for Trollfoot alone. Don't get us started on his pre-Paddy's television career. And then there's the fact that DeVito's Frank has become so ingrained in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia that you forget he hasn't been with the show since the first episode. So here's a look at the shocking evidence before it's taken down. But don't let them try to tell you that it's a "body double" or a "stunt double." That's what they want you to think…

Here's a look back at what we've seen so far as production rolls along, beginning with Howerton's recent "Four clowns crammed in a hot car doing jokes" Instagram post:

Here's a look at the TikTok video from McElhenney showing the love & respect DeVito and his peaches get on set:

Previously, Day posted a look that was very familiar to any "Sunny" fan out there. In the interest of full disclosure, we had to make sure that the image below was new and not from Season 5 Episode 7 "The Gang Wrestles for the Troops." And we're about 98.76% sure that it's a new image, which means the "Birds of War" might just be taking flight once again:

For a look at The Gang back together on the set (and being pimped out by McElhenney to promote Wrexham AFC), check out the video below:

McElhenney took to TikTok last month 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.
