Talk of a crossover first started at San Diego Comic-Con this past July, where Brunson teased the event during the ABC comedy’s panel. When TVLine asked Brunson about the crossover during our Fall Preview Q&A, she would only say, “I am just pumped about it. It’s a really cool thing.”
It’s Always Sunny follows a group of friends who run an Irish dive bar in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, while Abbott centers around the teachers and administrators at a Philly public school. While Abbott and It’s Always Sunny are produced by different studios — Warner Bros. TV and FX Productions, respectively — they both air on Disney-owned networks, ABC and FXX.
Are you as pumped as Brunson about this unique crossover? Hit the comments with your thoughts!
