In the interview,Rob McElhenneysaid, “We are going to start writing in three weeks season 15.” Because writing has not even begun yet, it’s probable that theAlways Sunnygang will tackle a multitude of relevant topics - specifically COVID-19. McElhenney confirmed in a tweet in January thatAlways SunnySeason 15 would be “all about” the pandemic. This makes sense for the show as it has a tendency to bring extreme satire to real-life hot topics. Fans can only guess what kind of ridiculous schemes and hijinks theAlways Sunnygang will get into during a worldwide pandemic.
It would not be the first time that McElhenney would use one of his shows to portray the pandemic, however, as his Apple TV+ showMythic Questfilmed a specialquarantineepisode after Season 1. In the same interview with NME, McElhenney discussed the upcoming Season 2 ofMythic Quest, specifically the acquisition of Sir Anthony Hopkins for narration. He said.
“I was talking to Craig Mazin, a writer on the show, and I said, ‘I think we need somebody with some heft. Originally my character was narrating the piece and I heard it and I’m so sick of my own voice. It worked narratively but I just felt like we wanted to have somebody that right off the bat could make it feel magical. There’s maybe four people on the planet who have a voice like that and they’re all knighted. So we realized we had to go to the UK to find a knight. Dame Judi Dench was thrown about, and then Craig said, ‘What about Anthony Hopkins?’ and I said, ‘Yes 100 per cent, but we need this recorded tomorrow’, and he said, ‘Oh I know his lawyer’ so we called his lawyer and within 10 minutes I was talking to Anthony Hopkins and he said yes.”
As for otherAlways Sunnycast members, each of them have been busy filming various projects throughout the show’s hiatus.Glenn Howerton(Sunny’s Dennis Reynolds) has spent his time filming both Seasons 3 and 4 of his Peacock showA.P.
