Danny DeVito Hints It's Always Sunny Could End After Season 18

After nearly two decades of depravity, rum ham, and total emotional stunting, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia might finally be gearing up for its last call.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Danny DeVito — who's played Frank Reynolds since Season 2 — hinted that Season 18 could be the end of the longest-running live-action sitcom in American TV history.
"Well, as long as we have a good ending — I don't know what the ending could be, they probably have one already figured out in their head," DeVito said. "It would be hard to let go, but if it's right and the audience is happy with it, then I think it's a good thing to do."
That might sound like vague old-man musing, but DeVito also compared it to his exit from Taxi — the sitcom that won him an Emmy in the ‘80s. Back then, the cast knew the show was winding down and poured everything into the final season. According to him, Sunny might deserve the same sendoff:
"When Sunny comes to an end, we'll know it and we'll all embrace it. We really dig each other and we'll always work together."
Sunny premiered back in August 2005 and wrapped Season 17 just this summer — running from July 9 to August 20, 2025, simulcast on FX and FXX. Back in 2020, FX renewed the show through Season 18, making it the longest-running U.S. live-action comedy ever.
But after that? Nothing's guaranteed.
In another recent interview, both DeVito and Charlie Day were asked point-blank about a possible Season 19, and Day didn't exactly sound optimistic. So it's not just vague speculation — the cast seems to know the end might be near.
No Official End Date, But the Signs Are There
There's no release date yet for Season 18, but DeVito's comments suggest that fans might want to start preparing themselves emotionally. If this really is the end, it'll mark an almost unheard-of run: two decades of unfiltered chaos, all without the show ever pretending its characters grew or learned anything.
And honestly? That might be the perfect way to go out. One last bar crawl, one last scheme, one last completely unhinged group meltdown — and then a final blackout.
Just don't expect a sentimental farewell. It's Sunny, after all. If it ends, it'll end like it lived: smirking.
