On Wednesday, you have not one, but two hilarious reasons to turn on your TV, as the casts of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Abbott Elementary will deliver their highly anticipated first crossover episode.
Season 4, episode 9 of Abbott Elementary, titled Volunteers, will blend the Philadelphia-set sit-coms and be followed by a second crossover during Sunny’s forthcoming 17th season. The initial episode will see Abbott’s principal Ava announce “the school district is sending a group of volunteers to help out,” per a synopsis, readying two tonally different comedic worlds to collide.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Dennis, Dee, Charlie, Mac and Frank will all feature in the Abbott installment. If you want to catch what will surely be a chaotic episode of the ABC workplace comedy, here’s how to tune in to Volunteers.
When to watch the crossover episode on Hulu
Season 4, episode 9 of Abbott Elementary — the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia crossover — is set to air on ABC on Jan. 8 at 8:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT/7:30 p.m. CT, and is scheduled to stream Jan. 9 on Hulu.
How much is Hulu?
Hulu starts at $10 per month, or $100 per year, for the ad-supported version. If you don’t want to watch commercials, the ad-free version is $19 per month with no annual payment option.
How to watch ABC without cable
A live TV streaming service that includes ABC in its channel lineup will do the trick. Hulu Plus Live TV and YouTube TV are among the options — both start at $83 per month — and you can stream the Abbott Elementary episode with Sling Blue if you’re in a select city.
