Also in attendance are Kyle and Martin, friends who first bonded in New York City after college. Martin extended the invitation to Kyle, who arrived alongside his parents, Jack and Diane.

Will there be more crossovers in the future?

Beyond the Gates creator Michele Val Jean isn’t ruling out future crossovers. “Right now, we’re so new. And we’re establishing our own characters and our own world. So, I mean, the door is always open to possibilities like that. But right now, as a writer, I want to concentrate on building up our own… the community that we exist in right now,” she told press, including TV Insider, at the CBS TCA Winter Tour presentation.
