When does Abbott Elementary's crossover episode with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia premiere? The highly anticipated collaboration is right around the corner. Here's what we can expect from the cameo.
When Does Abbott Elementary's Crossover Episode with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Premiere?
As FX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia joins ABC's Abbott Elementary in a first-look photo from Deadline, fans are wondering when they can expect the crossover episode to premiere on Disney Plus.
Considering that Abbott Elementary season 4 puts a large focus on the school's neighborhood in Philly, there's no doubt how this crossover would make even more sense to unravel.
That said, fans can expect Abbott Elementary's crossover episode with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia to air on January 8, 2025, at 8:30 PM ET.
What to Expect from the Highly Anticipated Crossover Feature?
Abbott Elementary returned for its fourth season in early October, and while the special episode could have aired then, co-showrunners and executive producers Patrick Schumacker and Justin Halpern confirmed that the crossover had yet to wrap up production.
Schumacker describes the production as "a real puzzle" in trying to figure out the cast's availability.
While there are no exact plot details yet, Schumacker did say this: there were some filmed scenes that may be too NSFW to "ever make it to ABC."
According to the showrunner, Rob McElhenney had an improv with Ava that he "did not know was coming."
"[It] made me spit out my coffee, and then wish that we had just an episode that was like a gag reel of all the stuff that we can't use," Schumacker continued, "I hope it exists at some point in time because it's so damn funny."
