Abbott Elementary just announced a crossover episode and fans have wild theories

Crossover episodes are the stuff of legend. Why settle for one show you love when you could have an epic meeting of the minds, a meshing of the worlds too glorious to be sustained for more than one network half hour?

Sadly, the practice has gone somewhat out of fashion as prestige TV and the streaming wars have kept ramping up. Gone are the days of the Friends friends rubbing elbows with the characters from the Mad About You universe.

Do we live in a universe where ‘Glee’ and ‘Abbott Elementary’ combine? The internet thinks so.

Or are they? According to a Pop Base announcement, Quinta Brunson’s beloved sitcom Abbott Elementary’s newest season will include a crossover episode. But with what show?

It would make sense for the show to crossover into the universe of another school, which makes Euphoria a delicious, and hilarious, theory.

But what about a skit show like I Think You Should Leave?

Or another workplace…comedy?…like The Bear? Just think about the incredible power of seeing Ayo Edebiri and Quinta Brunson on the same screen, in the same universe. Move over MCU!

We’d say that Glee would be the perfect crossover property, but we’ve lost too many lives to that cursed franchise already.

But if we’re being honest, White Lotus would be the most chaotic of all the possible crossover arcs. Team getaway to Turks and Caicos with a side of…murder…?

Whatever this crossover ep turns out to be, we shall be seated for it. Abbott Elementary will return for Season 4 in early October, and we will be counting the minutes.
