I\u2019ve got to go back tonight and I\u2019m going to film tomorrow,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have the McPoyles coming back, and we also have Guillermo del Toro coming back, reprising his role of Pappy McPoyle. It\u2019s going to be a great season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThis time around, Day shared, \u201cThey\u2019re all fairly large episodes. But I feel like Season 17, we got a bit of our fastball back, and we brought back the same room and had the same chemistry. So Season 18 here, I think, is going to just pick up right where we left off. I can guarantee there will be some episodes that people will love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tNow the longest-running live-action sitcom in TV history, It\u2019s Always Sunny is an <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/fx\/\" id=\"auto-tag_fx\" data-tag=\"fx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FX<\/a> comedy following a group of deeply self-absorbed friends \u2014 played by Day, Glenn Howerton, series creator Rob Mac, Kaitlin Olson, and Danny DeVito \u2014 and their chaotic misadventures while running the failing Philadelphia dive bar Paddy\u2019s Pub.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tSome of the show\u2019s most popular recurring characters, The McPoyles are a similarly bizarre group who often wind up in conflict with the core characters. Nate Mooney and Jimmi Simpson portray brothers Ryan and Liam McPoyle, an unsettling pair of milk-drinking, whisper-shouting ne\u2019er-do-wells, and in Season 8 episode \u201cThe Maureen Ponderosa Wedding Massacre,\u201d Oscar-winning filmmaker Del Toro was introduced as Pappy, the creepy, soft-spoken elder of the clan. That first appearance was in 2012, with Del Toro returning for a second episode in 2016.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tIt\u2019s Always Sunny returned for its 17th go-round last July and has not yet set a preiere date for its new season. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tDay is at SXSW in support of his starring role in Kill Me, a darkly comedic whodunnit that premiered at the Austin, TX festival on Thursday, which he also produced.
