Production

On August 6, 2011, FX announced it had picked up the show for a ninth season.[5] It premiered on the new FXX channel.[6] As of this season, Sunny was moved to Wednesday nights.[7]

Rob McElhenney revealed on May 14, 2013 that Game of Thrones series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss wrote an episode of the ninth season of Sunny:[8] according to Charlie Day, it's a "Flowers for Algernon" type of story about "Charlie getting smarter" [9] in a "Limitless" style, and is called "Flowers for Charlie" (this episode is directed by Dan Attias,[10] whose last work on Sunny was presented seven years ago in Season 2).

In addition, there will be an episode called "The Gang Tries Desperately to Win an Award", which mocks the show's lack of Emmys and Golden Globes (even nominations), and a Thanksgiving special, which brings back Gail the Snail, McPoyles and other enemies of the Gang. Plus, there will also be another animated sequence (inspired by a Pixar animation) in the episode called "The Gang Saves the Day".

Aaron Paul cameo was announced, but, will not appear due to scheduling conflicts.[11]

Seann William Scott will guest star in an episode where he will play Mac's cousin who arrives from a rural area outside Philadelphia to spend some time with "City Mac".

Rob McElhenney revealed at Comic Con 2013 that he had written an episode for this season involving the gang becoming contestants on the game show Family Feud. While Family Feud producers were receptive to the storyline, FX refused to allow the episode to proceed to production.[12]

The season premiered on September 4, 2013 and contains 10 episodes. The series' landmark 100th episode aired on October 9.[1]

Apparent Drop in Ratings

The first episode of the season premiered with the lowest amount of U.S. viewers since it has been tracked for the show. This is primarily due to the new channel, FXX, being unavailable from many television providers. Many Suddenlink Communications franchises, although carrying the channel, have required the subscriber to buy a "Sports Package" in order to receive the network.[13] Nonetheless, president of FX Network John Landgraf says that "the numbers last night <...> far exceeded our highest expectations".[14] "To have just launched the channel three days ago and get these ratings is thrilling," Landgraf added.
