The Abbott Elementary series is currently the most-awarded scripted series on network television. Unfortunately, awards don’t necessarily translate to lots of viewers and big ratings. Will Abbott Elementary be cancelled or renewed for season five on ABC? Stay tuned.
A workplace mockumentary series, the Abbott Elementary TV show stars creator Quinta Brunson, Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Chris Perfetti, Lisa Ann Walter, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and William Stanford Davis. The story follows a group of dedicated, passionate teachers (as well as a slightly tone-deaf principal) navigating the Philadelphia public school system. Despite the odds stacked against them, Willard R. Abbott Public School staff is determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don’t love the school district’s less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children. The teachers include Janine Teagues (Brunson), Gregory Eddie (Williams), Melissa Schemmenti (Walter), Jacob Hill (Perfetti), and Barbara Howard (Ralph). Ava Coleman (James) is the school’s inept principal, and Mr. Johnson (Davis) is the eccentric janitor.
