Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Returns This Fall, With Dennis in North Dakota

It's Always Sunny premiere date

In 2016, FXX renewed the comedy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia for a 13th and 14th season, which will tie it with The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet as the longest-running live-action comedy series in American television history. So we knew the show was coming back, but last year’s season 12 finale left things in a dramatically different place for Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Mac (Rob McElhenney), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), Charlie (Charlie Day), and Frank (Danny DeVito). Keep reading to learn the newly-announced It’s Always Sunny premiere date, as well as what to expect in this new era of the show.

The season 12 finale was the first time a season of It’s Always Sunny ended on a genuine cliffhanger: Dennis unexpectedly learned that he was a father and decided to leave Philadelphia to be with his child. Now a new press release (via IndieWire) says Dennis “takes on the new role of father in North Dakota” for season 13, which premieres on FXX on Wednesday, September 5, 2018.

The Gang Returns…mostly…in the 13th season of the FXX original comedy series ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.’ Mac, Charlie, Dee, and Frank return to their duplicitous, scheming ways at Paddy’s Pub, while Dennis takes on the new role of father in North Dakota. Last season, the Gang experienced new highs — Mac acknowledged his sexuality and Charlie convinced the Waitress, his longtime target of affection, to move in with him — and the lowest of lows — Frank became the official beverage sponsor of a terrorist group, Dee helped a man reach rock bottom, and Dennis was investigated for murder.

Even without Dennis Reynolds, the Gang has its hands full as Charlie hopes to have a child with the Waitress, Mac sets out to understand his newfound sexuality, Dee takes feminism to new heights, and Frank goes to great lengths for the Gang to experience the greatest moment in Philadelphia sports history — an Eagles Super Bowl victory.

It’s Always Sunny has unquestionably experienced some ups and downs over the years, but it’s yet to hit a creative bump that threw it off for more than a few episodes at a time. Separating a key member of the gang sounds like a challenge, especially since Kaitlin Olson previously implied that Howerton’s Dennis won’t be returning for every episode in the season.

Dennis is arguably the biggest schemer of the group, so his loss could drastically change the dynamic of the remaining members. The description makes it seem like there may be room for some self-reflection after years of being some of the most selfish people ever, but hearing about Frank’s Super Bowl antics also ensures that they probably won’t be straying too far from the selfish douchebags we know and love.

Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: The Women of Marvel Deserved More in ‘Avengers: Endgame’

(Welcome to  The Soapbox , the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything. In this edition: Avengers: Endgame doesn’t honor its female characters in a way that actually carries weight. ) There’s no question that Marvel has a women problem. In the past decade and over the course of its 22 movies, only one of them was led by a woman, and one had a woman sharing the title. But the studio has been eagerly trying to make up for it in recent years, releasing Captain Marvel to critical and box office acclaim , and slowly introducing female fan favorites — some of whom would go on to get double billing in the big established movies. As we headed into  Avengers: Endgame , the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filled to the brim with strong, complex, rich female characters — some super, some not — who were on course to outshine even some of the male heroes. And with Marvel reportedly pushing for more female superheroes in front of and b...

‘Ghostbusters 2020’ First Look: Jason Reitman Reveals the Film’s Family As Production Begins

Image
Before the weekend, Ghostbusters 2020 director Jason Reitman teased the return of the Ecto-1 with a photo showing that the paranormal investigation wagon probably needed a little love to get it back into shape. But he saved an even better look at the forthcoming sequel for later in the day with a Ghostbusters 2020 first look photo revealing cast members Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Carrie Coon as the family at the center of the story. Check it out below. Ghostbusters 2020 First Look Photo Mckenna Grace looks like she’ll make quite the new Ghostbusters, which is good since Reitman’s entire inspiration for this movie came when he envisioned a 12-year old girl sporting a proton pack. Grace has a look that feels reminiscent of Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters. Is there any chance that this family turns out to be connected to Harold Ramis’ character? Perhaps he had an estranged daughter who never knew him. As you can see in the photo posted to Twitter , the film’s wo...
