'It's Always Sunny' cast has discussed ending series
The gang is in a never ending story. 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' has been on the air for a record 20 years, running for more seasons than any other live action sitcom. Now, star Glenn Howerton is weighing in on whether he sees an ending in sight. 'It's hard to say. It changes often, season to season,' he exclusively told The Post while promoting his new Netflix series, 'Sirens.' 7 Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson and Charlie Day in a Season 7 episode of 'It's Always Sunny' that aired in 2011. 7 Glenn Howerton, Milly Alcock and Meghann Fahy in the new Netflix show 'Sirens.' ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' premiered in 2005 on FX, following a group of narcissistic and sociopathic friends who run a dive bar in the titular city. There's Dennis (Howerton), his sister Dee (Kaitlin Olson), their father Frank (Danny DeVito) and their friends Charlie (Charlie Day) and Mac (Rob McElhenney). With two decades under its belt, does the show have a conclusion on the horizon? 'There are some seasons where we're like, 'Oh, I can't do this anymore.' But there are other seasons where everyone is just really stoked and excited to be there, and excited to get the opportunity to continue exploring these insane characters in this insane world,' Howerton explained. 'We were quite invigorated this year. So, I think we're just taking it year by year.' 7 Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton in 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.'

FilmMagic After each season, we 'check in with ourselves,' he noted. 'We never like to have those conversations about what the future of the show is when we finish a season. Because that's when we are like, 'Yeah, I'm done. I can't do this anymore.' It's always good to take a couple months off, and then have that conversation, like, 'Do we want to keep going?'' Their careers have all taken off since the show first premiered in 2005. Olson is now in the Emmy-winning HBO series Hacks' and 'High Potential.' McElhenney (who she's married to) had his Apple show 'Mythic Quest' and his docuseries with Ryan Reynolds, 'Welcome to Wrexham.' Day has been in in movies such as 'Horrible Bosses' and 'Pacific Rim,' and Howerton has led his NBC / Peacock sitcom, 'A.P. Bio' (which ran from 2018 to 2021). 7 Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson in a 2019 episode of 'Sunny.' 7 Glenn Howerton, left, and Danny Devito in a 2008 episode of, 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.'

And, there seems to be endless ways to explore the world through these characters. So, we have no intention of stopping anytime soon.' Season 17 will premiere July 9 on FXX and stream the next day on Hulu.

Rob McElhenney's furious reply to Wrexham haters as Hollywood star tells them 'f*** off'
Rob McElhenney's furious reply to Wrexham haters as Hollywood star tells them 'f*** off' Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney has hit out at the club's critics in a foul-mouthed rant, as the Hollywood star and Ryan Reynolds continue to be mocked by rival fans Wrexham co-owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have fired back at their critics (Image: OLI SCARFF/AFP via Getty Images ) Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney has hit back at the club's detractors by labelling them "jaded p***ks". Since acquiring the North Wales team in February 2021 with fellow actor Ryan Reynolds, McElhenney has been instrumental in propelling them to new heights. The Red Dragons have seen a surge in international support following the popularity of the 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary series on Disney+. The club has impressively achieved three consecutive promotions, rising from the National League to the Championship. Despite their remarkable ascent, not everyone has celebrated Wrexham's achievements, with some rival fans criticising the club and its high-profile owners. A term coined to deride the team is "Disney FC", which also happens to be the title of the latest instalment of the documentary. The episode delves into the scornful attitudes of other supporters, with Reynolds and McElhenney confronting the jibes head-on. In an early scene, McElhenney, known for his role in 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia', delivers a comical expletive-laden tirade. Addressing the critics, McElhenney says: "The rest of you jaded p***ks can go f*** your f****ng selves. " He later continues with a half-hearted apology, saying: "Two things. One, to all the opposing clubs that are upset we didn't choose them and went with Wrexham instead, I am sorry. And two, what was two again?" Article continues below Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have shone a huge spotlight on Wrexham (Image: Leon Bennett/The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images ) Reynolds responds: "One was sorry we thought Wrexham was more special than the other clubs, and two was..." The scene then humorously depicts the duo giving a middle-finger salute to the cameras, coupled with the cheeky flick of the V-sign. Towards the episode's conclusion, McElhenney delves into the "Disney FC" label more sincerely, saying: "We get the Disney FC thing. Trust us, we understand. Obviously, we're having some fun with that. "But in all seriousness, Wrexham is just magic. I don't know why and I don't know how, but it just keeps happening, for the four years we've been there and the 150 years before that."

Following their promotion from League One, the club has been linked with top-level players like Leicester's Jamie Vardy and Fulham skipper Tom Cairney.

'You jaded p***ks' – Rob McElhenney blows his top as Wrexham owner finally bites
Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have faced their fair share of criticism from rival fans since taking over Wrexham and guiding them from the National League to the Championship Rob McElhenney has let rip at Wrexham 's haters after branding them "jaded p***ks". McElhenney bought the Welsh side in February 2021, alongside Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds, and has helped lift them to new heights. The Red Dragons have garnered a new global fanbase thanks to the success of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary, which airs on Disney+. The club has achieved three promotions in a row, jumping from the National League into the Championship. However, Wrexham's meteoric rise hasn't gone down well everywhere, with supporters of rival teams taking aim at the club and its owners. One popular label used to mock them is "Disney FC", which is also the title of the latest episode of the Wrexham docuseries. The main plotline focuses on the negative views of other fans, with the Hollywood actors directly addressing their critics. Reynolds and McElhenney are seen discussing the nickname in an early scene, with the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia launching into a hilarious X-rated rant. In a clear message to opposition supporters, McElhenney says: ""The rest of you jaded p***ks can go f*** your f****ng selves." He later adds: "Two things. One, to all the opposing clubs that are upset we didn't choose them and went with Wrexham instead, I am sorry. And two, what was two again?" Reynolds replies: "One was sorry we thought Wrexham was more special than the other clubs, and two was…" The pair are then shown jokingly giving a middle-finger gesture to the cameras, along with flicking the V sign. McElhenney is featured towards the end of the episode, tackling the "Disney FC" moniker in a more earnest manner. He says: "We get the Disney FC thing. Trust us, we understand. Obviously, we're having some fun with that. "But in all seriousness, Wrexham is just magic. I don't know why and I don't know how, but it just keeps happening, for the four years we've been there and the 150 years before that." Wrexham's rapid progress is showing no signs of slowing, with Reynolds and McElhenney setting their sights firmly on reaching the Premier League. The club has already been linked with a series of top tier talents following their latest promotion from League One, including the likes of Leicester striker Jamie Vardy and Fulham captain Tom Cairney. One of the main criticisms levelled at Wrexham since the takeover has been the millions of pounds spent on wages and transfer fees by the two actors. But club director Humphrey Ker has insisted this week that they are keeping within their means after securing some impressive sponsorship deals in recent years. Speaking during an appearance on the Chris Moyles Show on Radio X, he said: "Everyone's been incredibly nice, but you do see lots of people online like, 'Oh, they're ruining football, and it's disgraceful. This is everything that's wrong with modern football'.

Rob McElhenney's wife makes anger clear over Wrexham call - 'We're still fighting about it'
Rob McElhenney's wife makes anger clear over Wrexham call - 'We're still fighting about it' Welcome to Wrexham has been a huge hit and won several awards since its release, but Rob McElhenney has been criticised by his wife, Kaitlin Olson, over one key decision Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson are at odds over their kids being in Welcome to Wrexham (Image:) Rob McElhenney has been rebuked by his wife for featuring their children in the Welcome to Wrexham documentary. The series focuses on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator McElhenney and fellow actor Ryan Reynolds' journey as co-owners of Wrexham. Since its debut in August 2022, the documentary has won plaudits worldwide, catapulting the club to international prominence. Beyond their starring roles, McElhenney and Reynolds also helm the project as executive producers, earning numerous Emmy awards. However, it has come to light that Kaitlin Olson – McElhenney's wife and co-star on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia – was annoyed by his choice to include footage of their sons, Axel Lee and Leo Grey. Olson voiced her irritation during a joint interview with McElhenney for Variety about their appearances in front of the camera. Both sons are reportedly eager to follow in their parents' footsteps, a prospect that worries Olson. "We'd talked about not showing their faces," she said. "I remember going through puberty – no kid should be seen publicly before they're ready to. "Everyone's got their insecurities, and it's not their fault that we chose this path and that we're famous. Rob went rogue and put them in a f***ing documentary! I'm still unhappy about that." Article continues below Rob McElhenney (left) has been supporting Ryan Reynolds during his legal battle (Image: PA Wire/PA Images ) McElhenney defended his controversial decision, insisting that their children were enthusiastic about the idea. He said: "The kids love it. I have a different perspective. Millions of people across the world say, 'We love to watch them.'". Nonetheless, Olson was not convinced by his justification, making her stance clear. She said: "I don't care about them – I care about my kids. We're still fighting about it." McElhenney also divulged details about his close bond with Ryan Reynolds, noting that they often communicate through WhatsApp messages. He and Olson have shown support for Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, amidst their legal dispute with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni.

"And also me giving and showing as much support as I possibly can with all the other stuff that he's got going on, that I know is so difficult and challenging. "We both are just trying to offer our support in any way that we can that doesn't just simply add oxygen to the fire." McElhenney also admitted that he's considering changing his name due to persistent mispronunciations of his last name. Despite Reynolds' best efforts to educate people with a catchy music video on its correct pronunciation, confusion still abounds. "As our business and our storytelling is expanding into other regions of the world and other languages in which my name is even harder to pronounce, I'm just going by Rob Mac," he said.

Rob McElhenney's wife fumes over Wrexham decision she's ‘still unhappy' about
Rob McElhenney's wife, Kaitlin Olson, has revealed how she was left unhappy over a choice her It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-star made regarding the Welcome to Wrexham documentary Rob McElhenney has been criticised by his wife for deciding to feature their kids in the Welcome to Wrexham documentary. The show highlights the journey of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator and Hollywood A-lister Ryan Reynolds as co-owners of Wrexham AFC. Since it was first released in August 2022, the series has garnered huge acclaim, attracting global support for the Welsh team on its rapid rise through the leagues. Not only do McElhenney and Reynolds appear in the documentary series, they also serve as executive producers, and have bagged several Emmy awards for it. However, it has now emerged that McElhenney's wife, Kaitlin Olson – who stars alongside him as Deandra Reynolds in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia – was angered by his decision to include their children in the programme. Olson expressed her frustration over their sons, Axel Lee and Leo Grey, being seen on-screen during a joint interview with McElhenney for Variety. The pair are said to be keen on emulating their parents' success, much to Olson's concern. "We'd talked about not showing their faces," she said. "I remember going through puberty – no kid should be seen publicly before they're ready to. "Everyone's got their insecurities, and it's not their fault that we chose this path and that we're famous. Rob went rogue and put them in a f***ing documentary! I'm still unhappy about that." McElhenney defended his contentious decision, claiming that their children were all for the experience. He said: "The kids love it. I have a different perspective. Millions of people across the world say, 'We love to watch them.'" However, Olson wasn't swayed by his rationale, saying: "I don't care about them – I care about my kids. We're still fighting about it." McElhenney also shed light on his tight-knit relationship with Reynolds, revealing that they frequently exchange WhatsApp messages. Both he and Olson have rallied behind the Deadpool actor and his wife, Blake Lively, amidst their legal tussle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni. "It's just our way of staying connected and navigating something together," McElhenney said. "And also me giving and showing as much support as I possibly can with all the other stuff that he's got going on, that I know is so difficult and challenging. "We both are just trying to offer our support in any way that we can that doesn't just simply add oxygen to the fire." In addition, McElhenney disclosed that he's pondering a name change due to the ongoing confusion over how to pronounce his surname. Despite Reynolds' attempts to clear up the matter with a music video aimed at teaching the correct pronunciation, the problem persists. "As our business and our storytelling is expanding into other regions of the world and other languages in which my name is even harder to pronounce, I'm just going by Rob Mac," he said. The switch hasn't been entirely well-received at home, with Olson saying: "The kids are really not happy about it, because they have that last name, and so do I, legally." McElhenney has openly acknowledged the ups and downs of their marriage but remains optimistic about their future. He said: "The truth is that marriage is really f***ing hard.
