After considerable anticipation, the trailer offers the best look yet at the unlikely crossover between the two series set in Philadelphia, and confirms an imminent release. OneAbbott ElementaryandIt’s Always Sunnycharacter pairingwas previously confirmed by Davis, who revealed thatMr. Johnson will spend much of the episode with Frank.

Every Season Of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Ranked
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia has been remarkably consistent since day one, which makes finding the best season tough.
Mac (Rob McElhenney) and Ava appear to be another character pairingas Mac unsubtly tries to hit on her. As for Gregory (Tyler James Williams), it seems that Deandra (Kaitlin Olson) will be the latest woman pursuing him despite his current relationship with Janine and his heart clearly belonging to her. These character pairings and the entire trailer make theAbbott ElementaryandIt’s Always Sunnycrossoverlook appropriately chaotic given the two wildly different casts of characters.
Our Take On The It’s Always Sunny And Abbott Elementary Crossover
It Looks Like A Hilarious First Episode Of 2025
BetweenIt’s Always Sunny’s charactersbeing initially unsure of where they are and Mr. Johnson arguing with Frank, the crossover looks like it will be comedic gold. Even though the two series are set in Philadelphia, I wondered howAbbott Elementarywould explain the crossover, andIt’s Always Sunny Charactersbeing unqualified volunteers sent by the school district is a premise that works perfectly for both series. I am eager to see the crossover begin onAbbott Elementaryand look forward to it continuing later onIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
