A New ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Star Spotted in the Trailer for ‘Mythic Quest’ Season Four
Ronald “Mac” McDonald and Matthew “Rickety Cricket” Mara may already be main characters on AppleTV+’s Mythic Quest, but more of the Paddy’s Pub Gang are on their way.

“Interesting to see Pootie back. I’m curious to see where that plotline goes,” another fan wrote of the story thread that will presumably incorporate Day into the Mythic Quest universe.
But on Twitter, the response to Day's long-awaited appearance on the cult-beloved and Always Sunny-adjacent series was largely — and fittingly — nonverbal:
