Fans of the Day Man rejoice! EW has learned that FX comedy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia will return for a 4th season. The half-hour show, about four friends and the Irish dive bar they operate when not getting into unwholesome trouble, is scheduled for a 13-episode run. An air date has not yet been determined, but the writing staff is already sketching out story ideas with production tentatively set to begin in June. The main cast will return in its entirety, including Danny DeVito as the gang’s twisted father figure.
Later this week, EW.com will be interviewing series creator and co-star Rob McElhenney (pictured, center), who plays the sweetly aggressive Mac. We’ll be picking his brain about what madness he, Charlie Day (Charlie, right), and Glenn Howerton (Dennis) have planned for the upcoming season. Got a question you want us to ask? Leave it in the comments and we’ll see if Rob thinks you’re funny enough to get an answer.

How long have these guys been friends for? And are they really as crude in person as they are on the show?
Best show on FX!!!
I love this show!!! Yet I find it cruelly ironic that I go to school in Philadelphia yet I don’t get this channel.
Love this show. Where do they get some of their story ideas from? Are they things they had done or had happen to them. And why are they always so mean to Sweet Dee?? Plus, will Charlie ever get with the waitress. And will Carmen (Brittany Daniel’s character) be back. Oh, can we have more musical eps please. Love the one where the gang dances their a**es and day man by the way. Sorry I have so many questions.
YAY for more Sunny!! Will there ever be an issue/plotline you guys WON’T touch on the show?
This is one of the best and least talked about shows on TV.
I’m an addictions counsellor. When can I schedule an appointment for Dee and Dennis? And maybe everyone else, too?
Rob you made acmeo last year on LOST; any tidbots you can share to unravel the mystery of the island. Any plans to make another appearence on the show. Or will you have Locke make a guest appearance on your show.
this show is sooo under-rated! so happy that FX is sticking with it. the two lead actors (yes, i’ve watched this show since the beginning and still don’t even know their names…sad but true) are really sexy
PLEASE ask about the origin of ROCK FLAG AND EAGLE!
Please tell me a real child does the drawings for Sweet Dee’s clothing sketches…?
I am just so pumped we’ll be getting more Sunny. So hilarious and yet so overlooked.
The greatest comedy on television today is BACK. Praise (I’m in love with a man. His name is) God (Am I gay for God? You betcha!)! BTW…more Green Man: The Mascot of Fun! I want to be on this show, too!!!!!!
How is it working with Danny Devito?
Are you planning on bringing on any other celebrities this season as the show is becoming more popular?
When can I get my hands on Season Three on DVD??? and will there be even more cool extras than the Seasons 1&2 package?
This is the funniest half hour comedy on the air – period. This is fantastic news. Maybe one of these gifted geniuses will finally get an Emmy nomination for last seasons brilliant episodes. (The fact that Kaitlin Olsen “Sweet Dee” has never been nominated is just another example of Emmy’s obliviousness to what is funny.)
Ask them if Stephen Collins is going to be back as Dee and Dennis’s dad. (The fact that Stephen Collins appears on this show is just another example of its brilliance.)
I heard about the show through a friend, and I am completely hooked! I bought the dvd for the first and second season but sadly, ive missed out on the third season.
All I Wanna Know is, when will the Season 3 DVD Be Released so that new fans like me can watch the show before the fourth season begins???
Is there any way we can eliminate the McPoyles from all episodes going forward? Love the show, aside from these characters.
Your show rocks, and my friends and I watch it all the time. I heard Danny DeVito was cast after expressing how much liked the show. Now, while I’m not what one would call a star or a celebrity, and have never acted before, I’m originally from the Philly area and would absolutely love to be on your show. Is that at all possible?
How crazy was it filming the episode where Dee & Frank pretend to be a couple. I love your show!!!!!
I love this show! This just makes my day!
Yes!! This is one of my favorite shows! When will season 3 be out on DVD?
hooray hooray hooray hooray
Any plans to release a soundtrack?? With “Go For It,” “Rock Flag and Eagle,” and “Day Man,” its sure to go platinum. Maybe Glenn (Dennis) could even do a duet with Rick Astley.
this show is freaking hilarious! i hope it is on for many years to come
Great show keep up the good work. McPoyles add nothing to the show and are kind of a weird distraction.
Sunny rawks! If you ever need a short 1/2 asian 1/2 italian scot mutt lesbian to dance like a bumbling fool in the background I’ll totally take the Fung-Wah bus down to Philly from Boston!
ps: I also like to wear mustaches and am named The Commander in my sister’s dance-electro-disco-pop band “Taiphoon Fantastic” if you’d like to book us. We’re at http://www.myspace.com/taiphoonfantasticbeats/
I love this show, it’s so funny. Who came up with the day man idea, that was one of the funniest moments on you guys’ show, I even put that clip on my myspace.
I love your show. Got hooked after randomly seeing Mac Bangs Dennis’ Mom. If you had to choose one of the 4 of your characters, who is the worst person of all? I gotta say Dennis, but there are arguements for everyone for sure. I guess 5 if you include Frank. Keep it up. Hilarious.
