It’s the crossover no one knew they always needed: ABC’s “The Rookie” will air an episode “prominently” featuring the cast of “Game Changer,” a competition series from indie comedy platform Dropout (formerly CollegeHumor).

The upcoming episode of Season 8 of the Nathan Fillion-led police procedural, which will air March 2 at 10 p.m., is titled “Fun and Games.”




The episode will feature Dropout CEO and “Game Changer” host Sam Reich, as well as frequent Dropout collaborators Vic Michaelis (Peacock’s “Ponies”), Jacob Wysocki, Zac Oyama and Anna Garcia.

Per ABC’s official logline for the crossover episode, which was filmed in part at Dropout’s own studios in Los Angeles, “Harper and Miles feel the weight of their recent mistakes, while Harper is tasked with training Miles. Nolan and Celina are dispatched to a robbery call at the Dropout TV Studios where Nolan encounters a familiar face.”
