Long-running US sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been flying the green, white and orange for years now and in the new season they really prove their Irish credentials with a guest appearance from true blue Dub Colm Meaney.

Meaney, star of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the Barrytown trilogy, will make his cameo on the FX Channel show’s fifteenth season, which is due to air later this year in the US.

The comedy series was in Ireland earlier this year to film episodes and cast members posted pictures of themselves in various locations around the old sod.

In the new trailer for the new season, Meaney strikes up a strong bond with Charlie, who is played by Charlie Day.

The new pals are seen in a cheese shop and they then head off to a graveyard to visit the grave of a man called Michael Kelly, who Meany’s character says, "died from eating rocks, which he thought were eggs".

Also in the new trailer, Rob McElhenney's Mac tries his hand at being a Catholic priest, and Kaitlyn Olsen's Dee sets up her own acting workshop, which goes terrible wrong. Obviously.

It's Always Sunny shared a first-look poster of the new series last week and they went full Irish, with, the cast dressed up as more Irish stereotypes than you could make a shillelagh at.
