1802 - Dennis and Dee Don't Get Rich

Written by: Charlie Day & Glenn Howerton

Directed by: Todd Biermann

Airing as Episode 2 on August 17, 2026 at 9pm EST

Synopsis: The Reynolds twins push themselves to the limit to secure Sam's transfer of wealth. Charlie and Frank plan a proper memorial for Bonnie during the annual Mummers Parade.

What we know:

• This is the "Redacted Script" episode. Anything left un-redacted on the script is real/official dialogue. Accordingly, Mac's uncle, Donald, is a side character in this episode, as well as Uncle Jack. 
• This episode was partially filmed at the very end of filming, on April 15th and 16th in the "New York Streets" of the Fox Lot:

• A cannon with Bonnie AND Samantha's faces was spotted on set, indicating Samantha's death (if not already assumed by #1801's episode title):

• The Mummers Parade is a New Years Day tradition, meaning this episode takes place in December/January (year unconfirmed, but likely 2026/7)
• Kaitlin Olson posted a photo of herself and Glenn on set at the Parade, dressed in all black:

• Behind the scenes from Welcome to Wrexham revealed Mac at the dinner table with a man who looks much more like Luther than Donald, in scene 10:

In the script, Mac is with Donald, his mother, and a redacted character, who is likely Luther, in scene 10:

Possibilities/Questions:

• A Tsuma banner was spotted on set, calling into question whether Tsuma is a fictitious company from Dennis' mind or a real Tesla-like company in the Sunny-verse:

• It's interesting Mac's B-plot is not mentioned at all, given how much of the script it encumbers. It is likely a later episode description will cover this.

Notes:

• This episode is likely the second of a loose two-parter with Frank Marries a Corpse
