The last season concluded in November 2019, with the show renewed for four more seasons back in December 2020.
McElhenney revealed the title of the new season’s first episode earlier this year, called ‘2020: Year In Review’. The episode is written by McElhenney, Day and Howerton.
Speaking to NME earlier this year, McElhenney, who bought football club Wrexham AFC with Ryan Reynolds, said he’s working on making Sir Anthony Hopkins a fan of the club.
“He is a big supporter,” McElhenney joked when NME asked about Hopkins’ thoughts on Wrexham. “No he didn’t mention it, but I’m going to make him a supporter.
“I’ve already sent him a bunch of gear and I’m going to hope that he puts it on and puts it up on his Instagram. We’ll see. We’re buds now.”
Along with It’s Always Sunny…, McElhenney also stars in Apple TV’s sitcom Mythic Quest, which recently concluded its second season.
