There’s information out about Season 13 of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” and the good news is that it’s been renewed. Fans of the long running show are in for another hilarious round. The sad news is that there is a possibility that Glenn Howerton will not be returning. The FX network sitcom may be in for some serious changes, but the rumors have not been confirmed one way or another as of yet. Here’s what we know about it so far.
Hints at a news release in February
“It’s Always Sunny”‘s writers room is scheduled to open in February of 2018. Writers will be doing their thing and getting ready for the release of season 13 episodes which will air sometime in the fall. Glenn Howerton plays the character Dennis on the show. We’re likely to know more as the writers pen the scripts for the new episodes, but for now, FX isn’t saying much about about the content or what we cn expect. Nobody is talking about whether or not Howerton will be writtten in again or if he’s going to make his exodus from the show. With production of the show kicking off in April of 2018, it’s just a few months before the cast returns for filming. When Howerton was askedif he’ll be back or not, he was non-committal. The writers are staying mum on the topic and are simply not responding to questions about the character’s fate. McElhenny did, however indicate that there would be multiple surprised for viewers.
Did Dennis leave town for good?
Dennis Reynolds left the group to be with his newborn child in season 12. Howerton has already accepted a role in an NBC sitcom titled “AP Bio.” The show will make its premiere early in the upcoming year. From what we’re told, a lot depends on Howerton’s schedule and availability. He simply may not be available for shooting. If the new show is a success, it’s likely that he won’t return, but if it doesn’t go in a postive direction, we may not have seen the last of Dennis Reynolds.
Good will upon his leaving
There are no hard feelings as Howerton is doing what actors do. When a role with amazing potential comes up, sometimes you just know that it’s time to move on. The future of the character Dennis is as up in the air as the success of Howerton’s new sitcom. It remains to be seen. For now, everyone is playing their cards close to the vest because nobody really knows what is going to happen in this situation. It appears that the writers have purposefully left Howerton’s character on “It’s Always Sunny” open for a possible return. For now, it seems to be a topic that nobody is very interested in discussing. Perhaps there is some hopefulness that Howerton will return at some point, but this will not halt production or alter the forward progress of the weekly series. With or without Glenn Howerton, the show will go on and we’re excited to find out what the writers have in store for us with season 15.
