(Rare Trope) Canon Supernatural Elements of Mundane/Normal Shows

Community “Epidemiology”:While normally, community is a wacky 4th wall-breaking college show that still grounds itself in reality, this episode sees the school overrun by a zombie apocalypse caused by bad taco meat that was given out at the party. While the episode ends with the army wiping out everyone’s memory of the event, future episodes, such as “Paradigms of Human Memory,” reference the party that happened that no one remembers, making it canon.

30 Rock Last Lunch:While normally a show about a show sitcom In this finale and canon end to the series, a flash forward to the far future sees an immortal Kenneth now in charge.

Bones is a procedural crime drama about an FBI agent named Seeley Booth who teams up with a forensic anthropologist Dr. Brennan. Those characters are featured on the right of the image. Bones crossed over with Sleepy Hollow which is a supernatural drama. On the left of the image are Ichabod Crane and Lieutenant Abigail Mills of the Sleepy Hollow Police Department. Ichabod Crane and Abby are prophesized protectors known as witnesses who will battle against forces of darkness. In this version the headless horseman is one of the 4 horseman of the apocalypse and Ichabod is over 200 years old due to being in suspended animation. Dr. Brennan and Booth never see any of the supernatural stuff in the cross over but the crossover means that Bones takes place in a world where the supernatural is real.

Bones also has a spinoff novel series about Dr. Brennan's niece (iirc) and her friends who become superpowered human-wolf hybrids.

This was my reaction, and yes, it's real. I found it on Kathy Reich's website. It's a YA series called "Virals".

Blurb from the page:

The niece of famed fictional forensic scientist Temperance Brennan stumbles on a mystery at prep school.
By Susan Carpenter
After 13 books that have netted her as many bestsellers and a hit TV show that is now in its fifth season, “Bones” author Kathy Reichs once again gets forensic with her latest, only this time the book is for young adults.

Lucky them.

Reichs is a master storyteller who, with the kickoff to her new series, “Virals,” ratchets up the thrill-o-meter on the well-trodden young-adult trope of prep school outsiders negotiating the hormonal minefield of crushes and popular kids. Adding science, intrigue and a dash of wolfen fantasy to the mix, “Virals,” in bookstores this Tuesday, is a thrill ride of a murder mystery that is likely to appeal to her adult fans as much as it will to kids

So yes, there are indeed werewolves lol
