" We will be doing an interesting crossover this season . I ’m not gon na assure you with who or with what or where or when or how . But just know , it ’s very exciting , and I believe it will exchange television set as we know it , " Brunson offer – and with that , our dumpster firing of random speculation began raging – with Halpern and Schumacker dump evenmorefuel on those fires .
Duringan interview with EW , the EPs were postulate if there were any clue or clew about the crossing that they could share . " I will just say that when she get to us with it , I was like , ' How are we become to make this work ? ' I was really excited about it , but I was like , ' I do not know how this is going to work . ' But I cogitate we ’re close to figure it out , " Halpern responded . " Without giving anything away , we were able to expend some prison term in the writers ' room with some of the creative force behind the other show that will stay unidentified . And we ’re all getting on the same page about what this could be on both sides . But the idea is that there will be an ' Abbott ' episode , and there will be an sequence of the other show that incorporates the ' Abbott ' characters , " Schumacker added , noting that the " Abbott " episode would run " after " the end - of - the - year break – " Possibly the first episode back from the holiday .
