Kaitlin Olson's TV Tightrope: Sunny & High Potential Clash?
16 Feb
Summary
- It's Always Sunny Season 18 will have more episodes than recent seasons.
- Kaitlin Olson's role on High Potential was capped to accommodate Always Sunny.
- Olson's filming schedule for High Potential's second season remains uncertain.
Kaitlin Olson faces a scheduling challenge balancing her roles on ABC's High Potential and FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Production for It's Always Sunny's 18th season has commenced, with an expected premiere in late 2026. This upcoming season is set to feature an increased number of episodes, a welcome change for fans.
However, Olson's schedule on High Potential's second season, reportedly consisting of 18 episodes, may cause conflicts. The first season of High Potential was intentionally shortened to 13 episodes to accommodate Olson's prior commitments to It's Always Sunny. It remains uncertain if filming for High Potential's second season has concluded.
Producers for It's Always Sunny are reportedly planning to accommodate Olson's potential absence by writing around her character, Sweet Dee, if necessary. This approach, coupled with the show's history of standalone episodes, suggests her presence might be phased. High Potential has also subtly acknowledged Olson's other role.
