Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson Shares Details About Always Sunny Crossover Episode
Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson has shared new details about the upcoming It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia crossover episode.
Earlier this month, it was officially announced that Abbott Elementary Season 4 will feature a crossover episode with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Rob McElhenney, the creator and star of the long-time FX comedy, confirmed the news by sharing a photo on social media featuring co-stars Charlie Day and Danny Devito posing next to Brunson, Abbott Elementary’s Tyler James Williams, and William Stanford Davis.
Per Variety, the Always Sunny cast will appear in episode 409 of Abbott Elementary. Executive producer Patrick Schumacker confirmed that Glenn Howerton and Kaitlin Olson will be in the episode as well.
What did Quinta Brunson say about the Abbott Elementary Always Sunny crossover episode?
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Brunson discussed how doing a crossover episode with Always Sunny “made sense immediately.”
“So Rob McElhenney, there was something online that he saw that someone sent him and said, ‘This would make a funny It’s Always Sunny episode,’ and he retweeted it and said, ‘I think it would be a great Abbott episode,’ and that kind of sparked us talking,” she explained. “The episode has nothing to do with what was sent to him, but it got us chatting and, honestly, I really like Rob. I think we get along because, like me, he’s a writer, creator of a show, loves comedy, he’s from Philly. We just clicked right away, and we started really talking about it and realizing we can really do this. We’re both under the Disney umbrella, we can make this work.
“They represent a part of South Philly, and we represent a part of West Philly that is very real, and it wasn’t a long walk for these characters to interact. It just made sense immediately. And when it came to us that easy, we were like, “Yeah, we have to do this.” So we start putting things in motion at the beginning of this Abbott season because Sunny, they just started writing their season. And Charlie and Rob came into the room with us one day, they were wonderful, just excellent, excellent collaborators. I can’t say enough kind words about them. We had a ball. We’ve been having a ball on set. They’re just a delight to work with. And I can help breathe new life into our world and vice versa. It’s been an absolute joy to work with them. And above all else, Rob and Charlie and them, they’re like me. We like comedy, and we want to make comedy, and we want to do exciting things with comedy. And when you’re working with people like that, who are all on the same page, it’s just magical.”
The first episode of Abbott Elementary Season 4 premiered yesterday, October 9, 2024. New episodes will continue to drop on Wednesdays.
