Following a supersized third season premiere, ABC has given Abbott Elementary an early season 4 renewal.
The news was announced by series star William Stanford Davis at the 2024 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour on Feb. 10.
The Emmy award-winning workplace comedy follows a group of dedicated and passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — who are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life.
Abbott Elementary stars Quinta Brunson, who not only created the series but won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Janine Teagues.
Brunson, alongside Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker of Delicious Non-Sequitur Productions, Randall Einhorn and Brian Rubenstein serve as executive producers.
In addition to Brunson, the cast includes Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Janelle James as Ava Coleman, Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti, Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson, and Emmy Award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard.
Abbott Elementary continues Wednesdays, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
