Fans around the world are buzzing with excitement at the recent TV news announcement. It seems that two beloved sitcoms, Abbott Elementary and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, are joining forces for a crossover episode. And let us tell you, this is not just any crossover episode - it's one that we didn't even know we were waiting for.
For those who may not be familiar, Abbott Elementary is a comedy series set in a chaotic primary school, following a group of well-intentioned teachers as they navigate the ups and downs of a Philadelphia public school. Created by the talented Quinta Brunson, the show has already scooped up four Emmys in just three seasons since its debut in 2021.
On the other hand, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has amassed a cult following and stars comedic icons like Danny DeVito. The show follows a group of five friends who run an Irish dive bar, and all the chaos that ensues. These two shows may seem like they exist in completely different worlds, but the creators have just revealed an update that has fans in a frenzy.
In a recent Instagram post by It's Always Sunny's co-creator and star Rob McElhenney, he shared a photo of himself, co-star Charlie Day, and Quinta all crouched outside the iconic Abbott Elementary school. The caption read, "oh hello," and it seems like the gang is definitely up to something. Even Hulu commented, "The gang goes to Abbott Elementary."
But that's not all - another photo on Rob's Instagram story showed Danny DeVito with Abbott Elementary stars Tyler James Williams and William Stanford Davis. Quinta also shared a photo with the caption, "Season four of Abbott Elementary gets real Sunny." It's safe to say that fans are eager to see how these two worlds will collide.
Both Abbott Elementary and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia have won multiple Emmys and have become essential parts of the US sitcom landscape. And with both shows having ties to Disney, a crossover episode seemed like a no-brainer. In an interview, Quinta hinted at what fans can expect from the highly-anticipated episode.
"Deals are made. I want you guys to know that. I'll say I'm really excited for it. You want to find fun ways to shake things up without abandoning what you built," she shared. "I'm excited to just shake things up in this way. I love TV moments, and I miss those big TV moments. Anything I can do with Abbott to help keep that culture alive of fun TV, I will do. So I think this is going to be fun TV."
And it seems like fans agree, with many already sharing their excitement on social media. One user wrote, "This episode is gonna save TV and media for a decade," while another said, "This is going to be the best sitcom crossover to exist and I haven't even seen Abbott yet to know that." The anticipation is real, and fans can't wait to see how this crossover episode will unfold.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Abbott Elementary producer Patrick Schumacker confirmed that there will be an episode for both shows. "We're all getting on the same page about what this could be on both sides. But the idea is that there will be an Abbott episode, and there will be an episode of the other show that incorporates the Abbott characters," he shared.
The new season of Abbott Elementary is set to air on October 9, and Patrick teased that the crossover episode could be the "first episode back from the holidays." Fans are already counting down the days until they can see this epic crossover for themselves. We can't wait to see how these two hilarious shows come together in what is sure to be a memorable TV moment.
