The news follows months of speculation but makes sense because both shows are based in Philadelphia. Plus, Brunson and McElhenney are both from the City of Brotherly Love, making this the ultimate crossover.

“Abbott Elementary” returns for Season 4 on Oct. 9, while Season 17 of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” is in production.
