9 TV Crossovers That Should Totally Happen

by Allison Nichols and Ashley Bissette Sumerel

Crossovers. They’re the opportunities for television shows we love to come together in wonderful (or terrible) ways. They’re the chance to see a character we’re invested in visit another world and interact with characters they wouldn’t otherwise be able.

It’s pretty common to have these for spin-offs. We’ve seen them with Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel, Grey’s Anatomy & Private Practice, Bones & The Finder, and of course, Arrow & The Flash.

We’ve also seen them happen with shows we never would have expected. Who would have ever seen a crossover between Bones & Sleepy Hollow coming?

There are a lot of shows that seem like obvious choices to crossover, and some we think would just be a lot of fun. So, here are 9 TV crossovers we’d love to see happen!

1. The Flash & iZombie

Barry could be working a case that ties into one that Clive, Liv, and Ravi worked. At some point, Cisco needs to meet Liv because he’s obviously going to be the one who makes the zombie connection. I want Ravi to meet Team Flash and geek out over everyone, and I want to see Barry and Joe try to work with Liv when she’s on one of her crazy brains. Obviously, they need to meet Liv Liv first, and then new brain Liv will happen.

Plus, then we would get Clive trying to explain Liv’s method and her “mood swings.” Joe would instantly be skeptical of Liv being a psychic, and then Cisco would figure out the zombie angle, and I just really need to see Joe’s face when he hears the word “zombie.”

2. Limitless & Scorpion

Picture it. Team Scorpion and Brian and the FBI somehow cross paths and end up working the same case. Team Scorpion first meets Brian on NZT, and they ask him questions about his IQ and everything, and Brian just kind of shrugs and doesn’t answer them. The next day, they meet Brian before he gets his NZT pill, and their Team Scorpion sensors are up. Basically I just want Team Scorpion to be all upset that Brian is smarter than they are, and then suspicious as to how he is so smart, and why he sometimes acts like an average person in the mornings/evenings. I also just want Brian to show up all of Team Scorpion on NZT. Brian could also weigh in on Quintis and Waige. IT WOULD BE PERFECTION.

3. Supergirl & Flarrow

Isn’t this one kind of obvious? We need an epic all star team up. I want everyone to cross paths and for Team Arrow and Team Flash to have run ins with the DEO. I also need Cat Grant and Winn to meet everyone, and then a Barry/Oliver/Kara battle royal to see who is the strongest. There could also be a training session where Oliver trains Kara and Barry just makes quips on the sideline like “Why didn’t you shoot her with an arrow? You shot me in the back with one!” I also want to see how Diggle reacts to Kara. The possibilities are endless, and now that a Supergirl and The Flash crossover is happening, maybe this will open the door to even more DC Universe crossovers.

4. You’re the Worst and UnREAL

Listen, both of these shows are pretty much about terrible people doing terrible things — but we LOVE those people and root for them anyway. Gretchen is a publicist, so it could totally happen. And what could be more entertaining than seeing how she and Rachel would react to each other?

5. Bones & Castle

Honestly, I have no idea why this hasn’t happened already. Who wouldn’t love to see how Brennan and Beckett would react to each other? And imagine Castle trying to bond with Beckett over the fact that they’re both writers, and driving Booth crazy at every turn? There are so many similarities between these two shows as it is, and it would be fascinating to have the chance to see these characters interact with each other to solve a case.
