“Dennis could be gone forever.”
Speculation has been rife as to the future of Dennis Reynolds on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, with actor Glenn Howerton recently teasing that the character isn’t done, after all.
Howerton is set to star as the lead in new comedy show A.P. Bio, which premieres on NBC next month.
In an interview with the Television Critics Association, Howerton said that he could “absolutely” find the time to juggle both projects.
Fans might want to temper their expectations, however, after the man behind Sunny’s ‘Golden God’ took to Twitter on Saturday to address the rumours and his future.
And, well, it doesn’t look great…
THREAD: 1) I don’t know why people are putting out articles saying that I confirmed that Dennis is coming back. I never said that. What I said is that it is POSSIBLE that he’ll come back.

2) What I also said is that whether Dennis comes back or not has nothing to do with AP Bio. They are 2 separate projects. It is a creative decision that Rob, Charlie and I have to make once the writing process starts, which it hasn’t yet.

3) Telling you whether or not Dennis is coming back would be giving away the plot of the next season. So… to clarify once and for all. I don’t know if Dennis is coming back. He left the bar. We take that plot choice seriously.

4) I don’t know why the narrative continues to be centered around whether “I’m” coming back. I’m here. It’s whether or not “Dennis” is coming back. Dennis could be gone forever.

5) Please don’t think that AP Bio is taking me away from Sunny. It isn’t. That’s like saying that Jumanji is taking The Rock away from Fast and Furious. They are different projects. Thanks guys. I can’t wait for you all to see AP Bio. END THREAD

So there you have it; Dennis left the bar at the end of season 12 and may never appear again. Howerton, however, might return in some capacity. Maybe.
