ABC’s hit comedy Abbott Elementary is officially returning for an additional season.
In March, the network announced the news in the shape of a memo from Principal Ava Coleman (played by fan favorite Janelle James) to college and students “aka my fans,” she writes. “The camera crew I hired to showcase all that I’ve made occur at our beautiful school thinks I’m a star. I mean, are we surprised? No, we’re not :),” she added. “With that said, it’s with great pleasure that I share they’ll be returning for the 2022-2023 school yr! That is right – Abbott Elementary season two is coming to a screen near you.”
The renewal comes as no surprise given Abbott’s immense success. After it debuted on ABC in December, its rankings quadrupled—a primary for the network—mostly because of viewership on streaming platforms (similar to Hulu.) And anyone on Twitter has probably noticed the show trending after latest episodes air on Tuesdays.
Created by and starring Quinta Brunson, the mockumentary-style workplace sitcom follows a bunch of teachers, their outrageous principal, and the hilarious and lovely kids they teach at an underfunded elementary school in Philadelphia. Along with Brunson and James, Tyler James Williams, Chris Perfetti, Lisa Ann Walter, and Sheryl Lee Ralph are also within the major solid.
Along with the season 2 announcement, ABC also shouted out DonorsChoose.org, where people can share donations to public school classrooms in need across the country. (Ava, nevertheless, would favor $100 spa gift cards for her personal use.)

What’s going to season 2 be about?
While specifics are still under wraps, the solid has shared with ELLE.com their hopes for where the story could go next. (Perhaps they’ll avoid hot air balloons this time around.)
Brunson desires to take more field trips, literally and figuratively, outside of the Abbott Elementary halls; Ralph wants Barbara to begin a choir within the vein of Sister Act 2; Walter wants the crew to travel to a teaching convention, except “they will’t afford an expensive one, so it’s, like, Atlantic City.” Williams hopes for more will-they, won’t-they romance from Gregory and Janine: “[Gregory’s] got to grow so much before he’s ready for a relationship, period, let alone with Janine. Nevertheless, we are able to see, from the surface standpoint, how in the event that they do the work, they might really have something special.”
What number of seasons will there be?
For now, we are able to bank on having a minimum of two. But Brunson has a plan for as many as nine seasons.
“Once I was [first] fascinated about Abbott, I considered a season one after which I considered a season nine,” she told ELLE.com. “Not that I’m saying it could make it to a season nine because that’s a great distance away—I don’t even know if people want [the show] to go to a season nine—but I used to be like, Where would I like these characters to find yourself? And I believe that, when you know the top of the story, you possibly can do all the things it’s essential do in between to maintain it from getting there too soon but still be increase to that.”
