“Abbott Elementary” is going on its biggest field trip yet next season.
Creator and star Quinta Brunson revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that the ABC comedy series will crossover with another show during Season 4.
“I’m not gonna tell you with who, or with what, or where, or when, but it’s really exciting and I think it’ll change television as we know it,” said Brunson, 34, as the crowd cheered over the weekend.

The actress was joined by co-stars Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Chris Perfetti, Lisa Ann Walter and William Stanford Davis when she shared the exciting news at the show’s panel.
Brunson told Variety that she loved watching the 2006 crossover episode between “That’s So Raven,” “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,” and “Hannah Montana” on Disney Channel, called “That’s So Suite Life of Hannah Montana.”

“Those things are what reinvigorate TV viewers, TV watchers, and I think it’s always fun to find ways to reinvigorate our audiences,” she said. “What’s important with ‘Abbott’ is we protect the show. Because it’s a ‘mockumentary’ we have to protect what we’re doing, but to find a way for it to still be possible to do something cool like that.
“It makes me really, really happy. It’s just like an ode to the medium,” Brunson added.

Responding to a post on X (formerly Twitter) about a viral Willy Wonka-themed pop-up in the UK, he wrote, “A lot of you are saying this feels like an episode of Sunny, but to me it feels more like an @alwayssunny and @AbbottElemABC crossover episode.”
Other shows speculated about for the crossover include “American Idol,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The Bear” and “The Simpsons.” They all air on Disney-owned networks or streaming services.
