Olson credits “Sunny’s” longevity to the fact that “we only do 10 episodes a season, so we’re able to make 10 great episodes of television. If you’re forced to make 23, you’re going to get some stinkers in there. And then, because we took a year off, everybody came back to the writers’ room really fresh and was excited to get going.”

Noting she was “really proud of what I did” on “The Mick,” Olson also has another potential series in the works, a Fox comedy co-created by McElhenney and teaming her with Leah Remini as spouses raising the sons of one of them. “I had a million reasons why I didn’t want to do it,” Olson allows, “but ultimately, I’m very excited to play a very different character. The multi-cam sitcom has always scared me a little bit, but I feel like we can do something really special with it.”
