An Unusual Release Date/Time and a Plot-Packed Logline!

Today FX announced that Season 18 will premiere on August 17th, 2026 (confirming Leo McElhenney’s leak)! Interestingly, this date is a Monday, a first for Sunny (which originally aired on Thursdays but moved to Wednesdays in 2013, when they moved to FXX with Season 9). The episodes will once again air at 9pm, like Season 17, but unlike Season 17, they will also air at 6pm PST, which is great news for fans on the West Coast, who will no longer have to wait an extra 3 hours for new episodes! 

Also new is the fact that Season 18 is stated to air “on FXX, FX, and Hulu.” In the past, these releases have stated “streaming next day on Hulu…” the absence of that phrasing seems to imply that the episodes will air simultaneously on the streaming service and cable. While that would be quite unusual, a streaming drop at the same time as a cable airing would explain why FX has a simultaneous West Coast airing…(Well, if it’s true, you can bet I’ll be purchasing a no-ads plan from Hulu for August and September, though I hate the idea that not everyone will be watching "live" at the same time!)

Currently, it’s unclear if there will be a double-episode premiere like there has been for the last few seasons, but we’ll likely find out in the next week-or-so!


Along with the announcement of the premiere date, we also received a longline, which reads as follows:

"TV's longest-running live-action comedy series is going into extra innings - we're back to a full 10 episodes, babyyy. That's right: an extra two weeks of shenanigans from your favorite Paddy's Pub perpetrators proprietors. In season 18, "It's Always Sunny" continues its return to its roots, with 10 jam-packed setups only the Gang could find themselves in. Charlie (Charlie Day), Mac (Rob Mac), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank (Danny DeVito) are wrapped up in salvaging inheritances from a dead woman, surviving tent encampments and the great inside-outside divide between the haves and have-nots, withstanding job loss at the hands of workplace automation, embracing a newfound appreciation for neurodivergence, questioning the fabric of society against conspiracy theories, and of course - the biggest elephant in the room - outlasting the public's pendulum swing against drinking. Not to mention battling nerds, LARPers, and a particularly petulant McPoyle clan at the Renaissance Faire or sportswashing their way back into the good graces of their community by sponsoring a Little League team. All the while trying to maintain order in their personal lives and at Paddy's, which have become increasingly lawless and erratic. Get ready for some of the series' most outrageous moments yet, with loads of star cameos, as well as nods to both iconic Philly traditions and other classic TV sitcoms – the season’s writing took place in the Lagoon Building of CBS Radford, the original site of “Gilligan’s Island”. It's art imitating life imitating art. So, step right up to the plate and brace yourself for one hell of a swing. The Gang may be into their 50s and 80s now, but their behavior is more out of control than ever. Who said with age comes wisdom? That person sure is a jabroni.”

Since we already know all of the episode names (and have a chunk of behind the scenes information), we’re able to parse quite a bit of this! The following will contain spoilers we learned from filming, so read forward with caution:


The Gang “wrapped up in salvaging inheritances from a dead woman,” is very obviously related to Frank Marries a Corpse and Dennis and Dee Don’t Get Rich (which we know thanks to Rob’s April Fools prank deals with Dennis and Dee attempting to get something from someone, and we know of two “dead women” thanks to on-set leaks showing a joint-funeral celebration for Bonnie and Samantha). I’d bet that this is a two-episode premiere, along the lines of Season 6’s Mac Fights Gay Marriage and Dennis Gets Divorced, which hopefully gives us Carol Kane as a returning guest star in Ep 1 before they kill her off to give us the “Frank Marries a Corpse” cut-to-title payoff. Predictably, we will also see Charlie face the death of his mom, Bonnie, in these two episodes, with Lynne Marie Stewart having passed away last year. 


Moving on to "surviving tent encampments and the great inside-outside divide between the haves and have-nots..." these words are very reminiscent to me of the scenes we saw on Welcome to Wrexham, which we know belong to 2026: a Virtual Insanity. 

The next clause, "withstanding job loss at the hands of workplace automation,” feels like it also could belong to this episode, but I am not as sure about that. There is a viable theory that Virtual Insanity is an a.i.-related episode, and a.i. certainly is a leader in "workplace automation" causing job layoffs, but how the Gang could be impacted by this is a question to be raised before jumping to any conclusions. Short of Frank splurging on an automaton, how can the Gang's jobs at Paddy's (bartending, bouncing, cleaning, and waitressing) be at risk due to a.i. integration? I think there's more to be seen with this one, however it's hard to figure what other episode it could belong to based on titles alone.


Potentially, it could be The Gang Gets Tested, however "embracing a newfound appreciation for neurodivergence," very much seems to belong to that episode (though it could be both!), given the fact that, when Gets Tested was revealed as an episode title, there was a lot of back-and-forth discussion between fans as to what kind of test the Gang could be undergoing... well, seems the neurodivergent kind is the answer! (Though, Wrexham did show Rob/Mac in a more college-looking setting for testing than a mental health-type setting, so it's possible we still have some wires crossed.) 


The Gang "questioning the fabric of society against conspiracy theories," must belong to the episode with "conspiracy theorists" in the title: Gilligan's Island: A Conspiracy Theorist's Paradise, which we still don't know much about, other than the director, Heath Cullens, confirming it is indeed a Gilligan's Island episode. The end of this new logline stating the writing took place on the Radford lot is interesting, perhaps hinting that they were able to borrow some shooting locations as well? Only visuals will confirm whether or not this does, indeed, take place on an island (but, to further "conspire" that it does, Heath Cullens also mentioned he didn't shoot much in Paddy's this Season). 


The War on Alcohol is obviously what "outlasting the public's pendulum swing against drinking," is in reference to, which we don't have a lot of information on, other than a few small clips from shooting which show the Gang dumping out non-alcoholic beer, so this written tease doesn't do much other than confirm they are indeed going to war against alcohol on the side of alcohol. 


Similarly, "battling nerds, LARPers, and a particularly petulant McPoyle clan at the Renaissance Faire," confirms the title The Gang Goes to the Renaissance Faire, but doesn't give us much new information, as we knew based on costuming that the McPoyles belonged to that episode. This does confirm the Gang will be facing off against the McPoyles during their time there, but did we expect otherwise?


Finally, "sportswashing their way back into the good graces of their community by sponsoring a Little League team," confirms The Gang Buys a Baseball Team as an act not done out of boredom or spur-of-the-moment interest, but done as a result of the Gang fucking up somewhere or something else. We saw during filming that there were Frank's Fluid's products advertised across the baseball field, so they are clearly trying to make their fronts look legitimate in conjunction with Paddy's own image. (I have been hoping this episode would be reminiscent of The Gang Gives Back, and this tease only seems to confirm it!)


"All the while trying to maintain order in their personal lives and at Paddy's, which have become increasingly lawless and erratic," seems like a blanket statement to cover the general in-betweens/vibe of this Season, along with the mention of "their behavior [being] more out of control than ever," but I will use that to mention the other two episodes which seem to have no direct reference to them in this logline: The Guys Have a Sleepover and Mac and Dennis Tear Their ACLs. We saw a tiny teaser of what seems to be Sleepover, and ACLs is all but confirmed to be the Die Hard Episode, so there's certainly still a lot missing from this teaser-packed log line. 


(And barring ACLs and Sleepover, as an educated guess/interpretation, I think it’s possible the order of descriptions here is in order of the episodes’ airing dates (as Season 17's was), and interestingly the description order here lines up pretty well with production order…! But of course, the airing order still remains to be revealed)


And just like that, Season 18 is a month away and information is about to come barreling toward us! Over the next week, I will revamp the Season 18 Updates tab to have pages per-episode where everyone can find the latest information and any updates as they come in. Keep an eye on IMDb for actors to start posting their credits, but remember anyone can update that website, and nothing is official unless or until it's posted by a verifiable source!


Does anyone have a favourite episode yet? Mine's still Baseball (especially given all the logline fodder!)

Heath Cullens Reveals His Season 18 Episodes (new info & confirmations)!

 Thanks to Nathan Greenie of Always Sunny Daily's, latest podcast episode, some new Season 18 information (and minor confirmations!) has come to light from Heath Cullens, a veteran Sunny director, who returns to Season 18 for 4 episodes!

Heath Cullens' 4 episodes in Season 18 are:

  • Mac and Dennis Tear Their ACLs
  • 2026: a Virtual Insanity (#1804)
  • Gilligan’s Island: A Conspiracy Theorist’s Paradise
  • The Gang Buys a Baseball Team

(And, by visual of the slate provided in the podcast, we can confirm that one of those 3 unassigned episodes is #1806, written by David Hornsby.)

Overall speaking about Season 18, Heath shared that they have some "big swings" and it's a very "expansive" season, being really big in scale and busy. He said, at least for his episodes, there's not a lot of time spent in Paddy's, because there's a lot going on out in Philadelphia. 

On The Gang Buys a Baseball Team, this is a really big episode with a lot going on, with the majority of it taking place on the baseball field (check out a small piece of the episode we got from fans on site during filming). He said it's very funny and is very topical in a number of ways. He also said "Charlie turns in a pretty bonkers performance" (unclear if he's talking Charlie Day's acting performance or if Charlie Kelly himself performs) and that Charlie Kelly lovers will really like this episode, as he does a lot of insane stuff in it!

He didn't say much about Gilligan’s Island: A Conspiracy Theorist’s Paradise other than "there's some Gilligan's Island going on" and that it's a great Mac and Charlie episode.

Interestingly, he knows about the leaks and theories we have, so when discussing Mac and Dennis Tear Their ACLs, he brought up the Christmas aspect. He said "um" about half a dozen times and then said he can neither confirm nor deny it's a Christmas episode, but he doesn't think they're going to wait until Christmas to air it, so in addition to that somewhat confirming it is a Christmas episode, that hard confirms that ACLs is, in fact, the episode in which Mac and Dennis are racing in Christmas sweaters (not that we had much doubt lol), which is very likely the Die Hard episode.

For 2026: A Virtual Insanity, other than the "not so subtle" nod to Jamiroquai, there is a reference to a somewhat niche film in this episode, and there's some "really standout Dee stuff" and "great Mac and Dee stuff." (We know from Welcome to Wrexham that there's a lot going on in that episode, and some later-published paparazzi pictures also showed us Mac and Dee together.)

He didn't work on Ren Faire but he said he was on set for a bit of it and that it's going to be a really fantastic and funny episode.

Heath shared that Season 18 isn't as weird as he's gotten with it before (some of his prior episodes include Hits the Slopes, Chardee Macdennis 2, and Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day), but there's a lot of variety, a lot of energy, a lot of excitement, and fans are going to be pleased. He also implied that Nate Corddry would make an appearance in Season 18, and that one of his episodes this season has a unique end credits sequence

And because of course it's a heightened issue on everyone's minds after not having to worry about a renewal for 3 seasons until now, Heath Cullens shared that he's fairly confident Season 18 will not be the last. He believes FX has an appetite for more Sunny, and while RCGKD do have other projects, they all still enjoy making the show and the vibes remain positive toward more seasons!

As of today, there's still no known release date for Season 18 (despite Rob's kid echoing an August premiere), but I suspect we'll hear within the next month! The official Instagram account is most likely the first place where that will be revealed. 

I highly recommend everyone checks out the entire podcast. Heath Cullens shared a lot of stuff outside of Season 18 information, going into detail about his entire career on the show and all of his episodes, and it was really interesting to hear all about!

Welcome to Wrexham Gives Us a NEW look into Season 18's Production!

 Rob McElhenney's 2nd FX show, Welcome to Wrexham, is currently airing its latest season. The show is a documentary and airs yearly to align with the latest soccer season, typically following Rob around across various months and highlighting his dedication as an owner of the club. This Thursday's episode, Hell Week, highlighted just how stretched Rob's schedule tends to be, taking us back and forth between his Wrexham obligations and his time filming Season 18 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Lucky for us, FX took the opportunity to push some cross promotion, giving us a great look at what was happening over a week in March on the Fox Lot (and beyond) for Sunny's latest season! While the segment overall was pretty short, the documentary featured many half-second clips, leading in with slates, for a few of the upcoming episodes:

By and large, #1804 was featured (which we know from the WGA was written by Rob Rosell and Vanessa McGee), showing a truly bizarre combination of scenes, from a Cricket-dwelling-looking location to the return of the Season 16 finale's antagonist, Tsuma:



Now if you're wondering "what is happening?" after looking at all of those shots, you're definitely not alone (I mean, Mac's bare ass is out, guys (Wrexham added that peach, not me)... and potentially... more?), but one great clue from these shots is the hat Dennis is wearing. If you think it looks familiar, you're probably familiar with the song "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquai (and if you aren't, go check out the song), and with that tip-off, you're probably able to put two and two together. This fever dream of an episode must be 2026: a Virtual Insanity. 

(And as you may be able to see, the slate also names the director of the episode, Heath Cullens, who has been a regular director these past few seasons!)

The final scene of the first "highlight reel" of Rob's filming in March shows Mac in a classroom:

This is likely to be The Gang Gets Tested (given the, you know, test Mac seems to be taking) and in a fraction of a frame from this shot, we can see the scene starts with a "7," marking it as #1807, which is written by Charlie Day and Keyonna Taylor. (Unfortunately, the name of the director isn't legible in any frame.)

Seconds later in the latest Wrexham episode, Rob's schedule is "highlighted," and the schedule superimposes various moments from Sunny's filming, giving us a sneak peek at what very obviously is The Gang Goes to a Ren Faire!


 

COSTUMES!!                                                                  (KNIGHT MAC!!!)      

Again, Wrexham was gracious enough to include the slates in these miniature clips, so we are able to confirm that the Ren Faire episode is #1808, written by Dave & John Chernin and Rob Rosell, and directed by Richie Keen (who returns after being absent from Season 17)!

The schedule also gave us a brief look at a slate for #1802, which we already know the writer/director pairings of thanks to Rob's April Fools prank, but catch a few details of Mac sitting down at a dinner table:

Finally, we got a look at Rob watching a Wrexham game while on a break from filming (or waiting to be called). In this moment, we see him in a tux and bolo tie, identical to that of some of the first behind the scenes photos we got of the new Season. Andrew Friedman (Uncle Jack) is visible behind him, and also looks to be dressed in the same wardrobe we saw months ago!

(Ft. Showrunner!Charlie)

And with all of this new information, you can be damned sure I went and updated my spreadsheet! As a quick reminder (or for those who haven't seen this thing before), the green is what we now know (with all but FX's confirmation), the yellow is more-than-likely, and the white is an informed guess (but hinges on vibes):

Given how many pieces of the puzzle we can now confidently fit in, I am much more heavily leaning toward David Hornsby having written The Guys Have a Sleepover (and ICYMI: the GIRLS seem to be having a sleepover, too!), hence why I've slotted that episode into #1806, and surely the Wrexham-forward title The Gang Buys a Baseball Team has to have Rob penning it, no?

Any thoughts on what these new pictures tell us about the latest season? Let me know! It truly seems like a chaotic masterpiece to me.

A McElhenney (not a Mac) Reveals Season 18's Premiere Date (!?)

 This afternoon, Rob's youngest, Leo, took to Rob's Instagram account to conduct an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on behalf of and unbeknownst to Rob (who was driving at the time). Hundreds of Rob's followers flocked to the comments to ask the McElhenney kid (who made it very clear he was a McElhenney, not a Mac, by spearheading the AMA with the hashtag #mcelhenneyovermac) various questions, related to Sunny or otherwise. One of the first answered (and arguably most important) was about when the new Season of Sunny would be out:

Of course, we cannot guarantee that this answer is reliable, as it came from Rob's kid and not Rob himself, however Leo advised in the video prompting the AMA (which has now been removed from Rob's account) that he would be asking his dad the questions fans asked and then reporting back with Rob's answers, so it is more-likely-than-not that "some[ time] in August" are words directly from Rob, himself, and not a potentially informed guess on Leo's part. 

Further evidencing the claim that Rob was providing Leo with answers are other responses given to fan questions across the hour-or-so the AMA remained up:

However, it seemed clear that Leo was going off on his own for a portion of the AMA:


But whether or not this word comes from Rob or is simply an informed guess from Leo (or if neither of them actually know), August as a premiere month for Season 18 would make sense based on its production schedule. Season 18 wrapped filming in mid-April, and it typically takes them between two and three months to edit the Season, meaning a final cut of Season 18 would be delivered to FX some time in July, making it possible (and reasonable) for an August premiere date. (Further, Season 16, which also shot in the beginning of the year but had 2 fewer episodes, wrapped in mid-March and premiered in June.)

Leo's joyride on his dad's account didn't last too long, however he made sure to sign off before leaving:

As of the time of this post (3 hours after the Instagram video(s) and all related comments were purged), Rob has yet to address the claims made by his kid. It's likely he never will (in 2024 Leo took over Rob's Twitter account and the posts were subsequently purged and never addressed), but time certainly will tell if Leo has provided us with an accurate date! If the premiere is in August, we should be getting word soon (potentially, as soon as June 10th!). 

Keep using #mcelhenneyovermac!

Season 18 Episode Titles AND Writers are revealed! (But who wrote what?)

 The WGA has blessed us again this Saturday by uploading not only the list of writers for each numerical episode, but the episode titles as well!

The names of the episodes are as follows:

It is impossible to link to the episode names source, however you can go to this link and type "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" into the search bar and sort by "Date Pub on Web" to see this list for yourself!

And the episode writers are as follows:



The list of episodes were published all at once, and therefore sort in alphabetical order, so except for the episodes we have solid information on, the only way we're able to correctly match the episode # and writer to its title is by looking back on the behind the scenes information we got during filming to try and line up dates (unless they filmed out of order).

The easiest one we do have solid information for is Dennis and Dee Don't Get Rich, Episode 2, written by Charlie and Glenn, thanks to the redacted script Rob gave us for April Fools Day. Logically, then, Frank Marries a Corpse is likely Episode 1, written by Charlie, the lead-in to Dennis and Dee Don't Get Rich.
 
The other episode we do have a solid connection for is Episode 5, thanks to Rob's birthday video showing a fake non-alcoholic beer on the table while a slate denoting 1805 was also present. We also got a little sneak peek of filming outside of Paddy's, which showed the guys pouring out non-alcoholic beer, so The War on Alcohol is very likely 18-5, Dave and John Chernin's episode (which is fitting, given the Gang are definitely on the side of alcohol here).

After those three, I become less certain. Obviously we know the Ren Faire episode is The Gang Goes to the Ren Faire and the Little League episode is The Gang Buys a Baseball Team (lmfao at that title), but we do not have any markers to tell us who wrote those episodes other than assuming they were filmed in the order they're numbered. If that's the case, I am putting my money on these being Episodes 7 and 8, respectively (I also had my money on Rob Rosell writing the Little League ep, so I might be a little biased there). 

Mac and Dennis Tear their ACLs is very interesting, as Mac and Dennis racing each other outside of Paddy's was another piece of BTS footage we got this year. This was theorized to be a Die Hard episode, based on Rob posting a graphic a few days later that seemed to tie in with Mac and Dennis wearing Christmas sweaters, but obviously there is no Die Hard episode title to be seen. Given that, I do still think the "Die Hard" episode could be Mac and Dennis Tear their ACLs, and given how early that was filmed, I'm assigning it as Episode 3, written by Charlie and Glenn. (Though, Mac and Dennis racing could also be The Gang Gets Tested, if the test is endurance-based of some kind.)

And speaking of missing episodes, A Tale of Two Charlies, the episode title we got from an alleged featured actor in an upcoming episode, is nowhere to be found. However, this is definitely an episode that exists, it just clearly isn't by that title (which could mean the title changed, it was just referred to by that name on set, or this guy just made it up). The episode filmed in mid-March at a College campus for a week, which based on the episode titles we have left I have no idea how to place. However, if filming at the college campus was for a college campus setting, this also could be The Gang Gets Tested, if the test is intelligence-based of some kind. (Or it could be related to The War on Alcohol, if the episode is about how college-aged kids aren't drinking as much anymore!)

Clearly The Gang Gets Tested is a hard one for me to place, as is 2026: a Virtual Insanity. That seems like it's the A.I. episode Charlie briefly mentioned, and the name is reminiscent to me of Charlie Rules the World in Season 8 (originally entitled "The Gang Goes Virtual), written by David Hornsby. Since we don't have a ton of information, I am settling with both of these episodes being Hornsby's (perhaps mostly based on vibes), with the latter being in conjunction with Biniam Bizuneh (one of the new, and younger, writers). 

The other new (to Sunny) writer is Vanessa McGee, whose episode is with Rob Rosell (the two of them both worked on Dave together). Again, since we don't have much information, I am going to assign Gilligan's Island: a Conspiracy Theorists Paradise to the two of them based on vibes. 

Finally, we have The Guys Have a Sleepover (which very much invokes Mac's Banging the Waitress in Season 4 for me). Obviously this episode would have been filmed on the closed set (unless they had a sleepover on a college campus!!), so it's pretty much impossible to pin down when it was filmed. I am just going to slot this one in at the end and give it to Charlie, Ross, and Rob (Rob's only episode!).

And that's all ten (10! which seems like a LOT now) episodes. In summary, the green is what I am certain on, the yellow is what I think is likely, and the white is, well, I pretty much have no clue but I want to put them somewhere:


(And as a reminder, the episodes are listed in production code order, not [technically] airing order!)

Looking back, maybe anything could have been set at that college campus... Can you tell I'm overthinking just a bit? Let me know your theories/ideas for who wrote what episode! Did I miss anything obvious?

Producing Credits Roll in on Season 18, with Two New Additions!

This morning, the WGA finally updated its credits on Season 18 for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, revealing the producers of the upcoming Season:

Sunny's credited Producers give us a pretty solid idea as to who was in the writer's room this Season, if not heading at least one script, so it's always interesting to take a look at these credits, and given they were published post-filming, they should be very accurate (however as with anything on an editable site, they are also subject to deletions or additions).

In addition to RCG and Hornsby (who are a given), Dave and John Chernin are back again as Executive Producers (having returned with Season 17), along with Rob Rosell (who returned with Season 15) and Scott Marder (who had an EP credit on Season 16, but hasn't been on a script since Season 12). Keyonna Taylor has been bumped up from Producer in Season 17 to Supervising Producer, and similarly, Ross Maloney was bumped up to Story Editor from Staff Writer in Season 17. 

All of these names were expected and originally deduced, however there are two brand new names on this list, one of those being an Executive Producer, which comes as a surprise: 

Vanessa McGee has no previous ties to Sunny (at least, none that I can find), however she is familiar with the Network (FX) and Sunny crew, having been an Executive Producer (and writer) on FXX's Dave, alongside Rob Rosell, Luvh Rakhe (Seasons 5-8), and Lee Sung Jin (Seasons 4-5). (Also, for some sense of confirmation that this isn't a misplaced credit, an upcoming screenwriting course in Maine credits her for Sunny.)

Biniam Bizuneh, the other new name on the list, also comes from Dave (where he served as a Story Editor). Interestingly, he is a standup comedian and an upcoming show lists Sunny as a show he's written for (seemingly confirming he has at least one script credit this year).

These two have presumably stepped in for Victor Hsu and Nina Pedrad, who were Executive Producers on Season 17, but are missing from 18. It should be interesting to see, if they are tied to specific scripts, how these new voices meld with the long-standing writers on the show. Ross and Nina, who are/were relatively new to Sunny, have penned some of the highest rated episodes in recent years (Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day and Mac and Dennis Become EMTs, respectively), so I am cautiously optimistic to see what Vanessa and Biniam's input will bring to Sunny this season.

So there we have it! 12 names to tie to the 10 upcoming episodes we're getting in Season 18. And while it's impossible to predict when, the update of producing credits is a good indicator that writing credits (a list of each writer attached to a certain episode, but not necessarily the name of any episode) will be the next piece of information we get for Season 18! I'll be sure to update here (along with my best guesses as to who belongs to what episode based on the BTS information we already have) as soon as those go live!

And with this information, I am crossing my fingers for Ross being on that Little League episode...

That's a Wrap on Season 18! (But not on spoilers!)

Season 18 has officially wrapped filming! We now enter the post-production part of the Season, which mostly consists of editing the episodes. This process typically takes 2-3 months, and then the Season will be ready to air, only awaiting a spot on the schedule from FX! Unfortunately this is somewhat unpredictable, as it could range from an immediate date, meaning we would get Season 18 this summer, or a much later date, setting Season 18 for a September or October premiere. 

The good news is, in addition to a cast photo, the end of filming brings a wrap gift!

In addition to a bottle of Four Walls Whiskey (lmao), the wrap gift also looks to include a jersey for the "Paddy's Pinstripes"! Based on the note, we can probably safely assume that the Little League team the Gang are involved with this season is named after their infamous pub! (Very cute.) 

And speaking of that note, we knew about the Ren Faire from Charlie, and the parade was a recent addition to our roster of Season 18 plots, but there's a new mention: a wedding

Well, I say "new," but this was actually something we speculated pretty early on in this Season, as the finale of Season 17 ended with Frank proposing to Samantha. So it's probably safe to assume the wedding is between the two of them...but it's Sunny, so you never know!

We got quite a bit of information from filming this year (much more than I could have predicted!), and while the frequency might slow down, we're certainly not done as we head in to post-production. Keep checking back for updates and more information as and when we manage to come across it! 

This Season is looking like an all-timer already
