Jennifer Love Hewitt has expressed interest in a crossover event between 9-1-1 and High Potential, sparking excitement among fans. As production begins on the ninth season of 9-1-1, Hewitt envisions a unique collaboration between the two shows set in Los Angeles, offering a fresh direction for the popular first responder drama.
Jennifer Love Hewitt Shares Her Ideal Crossover Concept
Although a crossover between 9-1-1 and The Rookie seems like a natural fit given their shared network and setting, Hewitt has her sights on a different ABC series. In an interview with Awards Buzz, she revealed her admiration for High Potential, Kaitlin Olson’s second show on the Disney-owned network, highlighting its thematic connection to 9-1-1 through dispatch references.
I am obsessed with the show High Potential,
Hewitt said.
They’re in LA, and she’s always referencing dispatch. And I’m like, ‘She has got to come to the dispatch center, or I have to go to hers.’ Or I feel like we could do both, like one of their episodes could end with her coming to my dispatch center, and then I could enter her next episode. But I just need to work with that show. I just wanna be on that show. I think it could be so much fun.

Potential and Past Crossovers in the 9-1-1 Universe
A crossover between 9-1-1 and High Potential is not merely speculative, as Hewitt has already imagined plot possibilities. The 9-1-1 series previously integrated a crossover with The Bachelor by having the 118 team respond to an incident at the Bachelor Mansion, indicating the franchise’s openness to intertwining storylines. While a crossover with The Rookie or High Potential remains unconfirmed, the framework exists for such collaborations.
Additionally, cast members from 9-1-1 have floated crossover ideas with upcoming spinoffs. Oliver Stark, who plays Buck, suggested connecting his character to Chris O’Donnell’s Don Hart in the forthcoming 9-1-1: Nashville series, which would also create opportunities for Hewitt’s character to travel to Nashville. This concept is inspired by successful crossovers on ABC, such as the one between Abbott Elementary and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, suggesting that a multi-show crossover is plausible.
Upcoming Seasons and Streaming Availability
The ninth season of 9-1-1 is set to premiere on Thursday, October 9, allowing viewers to anticipate new storylines and possible surprise events. Meanwhile, High Potential season two will debut earlier, on Tuesday, September 16. Both series are accessible for streaming on Hulu, providing fans multiple ways to engage with these interconnected dramas.
