Oliver Stark Pitches His Enjoyable Concept for a ‘9-1-1’ and ‘The Rookie’ Crossover

The transfer from Fox to ABC opened 9-1-1 to a contemporary world of alternatives, together with a brand new viewers and crossover alternatives. With the community having a number of reveals set in Los Angeles, the logistics of staging a crossover turn out to be simpler. There have been requires the present to crossover with one other ABC fan-favorite, The Rookie. In a dialog with TV Fanatic, collection star Oliver Stark revealed which reveals he can be open to his character crossing over with. “As many as they’ll have me in,” the actor stated. He echoed something said before, speaking about how good a crossover with The Rookie can be. “I do know we’ve stated this earlier than, or I’ve stated this up to now, however The Rookie looks like an apparent and simple crossover,” he stated. Stark pitched some potential storylines, saying:

“I consider their present is ready in Los Angeles, in order that appears to make sense to me that there may very well be some mass casualty occasion that each one the police stations and all of the firehouses are at. Or, a extra enjoyable route, I consider they do police versus firefighter soccer video games or no matter. So perhaps we rock up on The Rookie and take them down in some sporting occasion.”

How Doable Is a Crossover Between ‘The Rookie’ and ‘9-1-1?’

Alexi Hawley is the creator and showrunner on The Rookie. He’s addressed this question earlier than telling TV Line it might be “laborious” to perform. With many of the logistics working themselves out due to the character of each reveals, Hawley gave his causes. “To me, that’s a tough crossover,” he started, including, “simply because you’ve got an expectation that you simply’re going to see [9-1-1 characters] on a regular basis.” He continued, presenting his objection to the thought of a crossover. “If we’re each in the identical universe in Los Angeles, how are we not stumbling over them on a regular basis?”

Suffice to say viewers should not count on a crossover between 9-1-1 and The Rookie any time quickly, if ever, based mostly on Hawley’s feedback. In the meantime, a crossover between two of Ryan Murphy‘s shows on ABC is ready for a while this month. Athena (Angela Bassett) is predicted to look aboard The Odyssey throughout a casino-themed week whereas chasing down robbers focusing on the ship. “Sudden visitor Athena Grant suspects two passengers are focusing on the ship’s vault. Enlisting Max’s (Joshua Jackson) assist, Athena raises the stakes in a harmful recreation the place not everybody will find yourself with a profitable hand,” the official logline for the Doctor Odyssey episode reads.
