With It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia recently concluding its Abbott Elementary crossover event, Kaitlin Olson could have the opportunity to infuse two more TV shows.
Ahead of 9-1-1‘s Season 9 premiere on Oct. 9, Jennifer Love Hewitt pitched a crossover event for Ryan Murphy‘s flagship ABC series and Olson’s Hulu procedural High Potential, which was renewed for its sophomore season in January.
“I am obsessed with the show High Potential,” she told Awards Buzz. “They’re in L.A., and she’s always referencing dispatch. And I’m like, ‘She has got to come to the dispatch center, or I have to go to hers.’ Or I feel like we could do both, like one of their episodes could end with her coming to my dispatch center, and then I could enter her next episode. But I just need to work with that show. I just wanna be on that show. I think it could be so fun.”
Hewitt continued, “Wouldn’t that be cool? Same family. Same Disney. Same ABC. Same all that stuff. But I think it would be really fun, because her character is so fun, and I feel like she and Maddie would be really fun to watch together.”
Following the It’s Always Sunny/Abbott crossover episodes on Disney’s FXX and ABC, respectively, Hewitt could be onto something.
