What is Abbott Elementary about?

Abbott Elementary is a mockumentary sitcom TV series created by Quinta Brunson (Lazor Wulf, Miracle Workers) for ABC. It stars Brunson as Janine Teagues, an optimistic second-grade teacher at the underfunded Abbott Elementary school, located in Philadelphia.

The season 2 finale, which aired in April 2023, focused on Janine and Gregory (Tyler James Williams) finally talking about their romantic feelings. Despite fan expectations, the duo chose to remain friends after Janine claimed she needed time to prioritize other aspects of her life instead of dating. Season 3 plot details are unknown at this point, as the short promos released so far have focused on the show's signature comedy instead.
