In March 2017, following the twelfth season finale in which Glenn Howerton 's character was seemingly written off the show, Howerton expressed doubt in his return for the thirteenth season, describing it as `` partially a creative and personal decision. '' He also suggested that the show would take an `` extended hiatus '' in order to accommodate the cast 's other projects. In late April, Kaitlin Olson confirmed Sunny 's extended hiatus ahead of the thirteenth season due to the cast 's busy schedules. In August 2018, Rob McElhenney confirmed that Howerton is `` in pretty much every episode '' of the season.
