Charlie Day Hints at What’s in Store for ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s 18th Season

The It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17 finale is less than a week away, and Charlie Day still isn’t ready to think beyond the Golden Bachelor’s final rose. 

The Always Sunny co-creator recently revealed his approach to writing the show’s upcoming 18th season, explaining that he’s doing his best to keep a clear head before joining Rob Mac and Glenn Howerton in the writers’ room later this fall.

“I try not to think of anything until right before I get into the writers’ room, and that’s gonna be this October,” he said during an appearance on The Today Show.

Day says he hopes to keep The Gang’s antics as relevant as possible. “The world keeps throwing us crazy stuff,” he explained of the creative process. “I imagine there will be some chaos between now and October, safe bet.” 

No matter what current events wind up inspiring Always Sunny’s Season 18 storylines, Day and his co-writers can be confident that Danny DeVito is ready to get real weird with it. 

Earlier this summer, DeVito expressed his excitement for Always Sunny’s future, telling Collider that he’s “looking forward” to reading his co-stars’ new scripts. “Charlie and Rob and Glenn get into a writers’ room and it’s probably like, in the Wizard of Oz but reversed,” he speculated, envisioning the trio flying “on brooms” and battling “hurricanes on the inside of the room.” “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.”

In that case, do your worst, Rat King.
