9-1-1‘s Athena Grant (Angela Bassett) is embarking on another cruise. Hopefully it won’t end like her nearly disastrous honeymoon cruise with husband Bobby (Peter Krause) when their ship capsized in the Season 7 premiere of 9-1-1. This time she’ll board The Odyssey and will meet up with the cruise ship’s Dr. Max Bankman (Joshua Jackson) in a special March 20 crossover episode for Ryan Murphy’s 9-1-1 and Doctor Odyssey.
The meet-up occurs during Casino Week aboard The Odyssey when “unexpected guest Athena Grant (Bassett) suspects two passengers are targeting the ship’s vault. Enlisting Max’s help, Athena raises the stakes in a dangerous game where not everyone will end up with a winning hand,” per the episode’s logline.
It’s not uncommon to see crossovers on Murphy’s shows, such as 9-1-1‘s Oliver Stark (Buck), Aisha Hinds (Hen), and Ryan Guzman (Eddie) guest-starring on an episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star. Murphy’s American Horror Story also featured characters from various seasons seen in other installments. But this marks the first time that a Murphy crossover occurs between two series in different franchises.
