If Charlie Day had his drothers, the Nightman just might cometh back to It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The show’s upcoming 17th season may be slated to feature dog races, medical dramas and two separate ABC crossover episodes, but according to Day, there’s still something missing from its soon-to-air installments: singing and dancing.
“I miss the music episodes,” Day told a reporter while working the red carpet of the Always Sunny 20-year anniversary celebration last night. “Maybe doing another musical or something with music, I wanna get back to that.”
Day’s “maybe next year” may have squashed our hopes that a Season 17 installment could join the ranks of beloved musical episodes like “Sweet Dee’s Dating a (Redacted) Person” and “The Gang Turns Black,” but this isn’t the first time Day has expressed his passion for sprinkling song and dance into the Always Sunny universe.

“There’s a certain inherent entertainment value in a musical,” he told GQ back in 2018, weeks ahead of “The Nightman Cometh’s” 10-year anniversary. “Things are heightened just by the fact that people are up there singing and dancing, and then who knows? If you can bottle up and figure out why one thing hit versus another, you’d be the most successful person in show business. I think it was just a great episode, and it clicked with the audience.”
Though we may have to wait at least another year to see Day venture back toward the musical side of Always Sunny, we’ll still always have this certified banger:
