911's Jennifer Love Hewitt Wants To Crossover With ABC's Hit Detective Show With 96% RT Score

If 9-1-1 star Jennifer Love Hewitt had to have a crossover with another show, it would be one of ABC's latest hit. The procedural drama isn't new to crossovers. Characters from 9-1-1 joined the 9-1-1: Lone Star squad for an episode when it was still on Fox, and Angela Bassett's Athena Grant-Nash guest-starred in one episode of Doctor Odyssey.

Hewitt evidently wants to keep the ball rolling and have more crossovers in 9-1-1 season 9. During an interview with Awards Buzz, Hewitt gushed over her love for ABC's hit police procedural TV series High Potential, and revealed that it was her dream to have her character, Maddie Han, share the screen with Kaitlin Olson's Morgan Gillory. Hewitt explained:

"I am obsessed with the show High Potential. And she's [Kaitlin Olson's Morgan] always referencing — 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 her.' Or, I feel like we could do both ... one of their episodes could end with her coming to my dispatch center, and then I could enter her[s] next episode. But I just need to work with that show. I just wanna be on that show."

What Jennifer Love Hewitt's Comments Mean For 9-1-1 Season 9

The Upcoming Season Could Easily Feature A Crossover With High Potential

Perhaps Hewitt's wish for 9-1-1 to crossover with High Potential can come true during the 2025–2026 broadcast TV season. For starters, it would be easy (well, easier than most) for the two series to collaborate because they both air on ABC. The logistics behind planning a crossover would be much simpler because 9-1-1 and High Potential belong to the same network.

ABC easily did this with 9-1-1 and Doctor Odyssey last season. Yes, it was a tiny crossover as only Athena climbed aboard The Odyssey and interacted with the other show's characters. However, that's exactly what Hewitt is proposing. She wants her character, a 9-1-1 dispatcher, to work alongside Morgan in either an episode of 9-1-1 or High Potential (or both).

It doesn't have to be a proper crossover, like the ones that NBC's One Chicago franchise produces. The entire casts of both TV series don't need to get involved. It could simply feature Maddie popping in for one episode of High Potential season 2 to help Morgan and co. on a case.

Our Take On A Possible 9-1-1 & High Potential Crossover

Both Shows Would Benefit From A Collaboration

9-1-1 and High Potential are two of ABC's biggest shows. The former is heading into its ninth season and still thriving, while the latter was a major, record-breaking success during its first season and is looking ahead to its second. As such, it would be wise for ABC to take Hewitt's suggestion and organize a potential crossover between 9-1-1 and High Potential.
