“Abbott Elementary” Renewed For A Fifth Season
Disney has announced that it has renewed the hit comedy series, “Abbott Elementary”, has been renewed for a fifth season.
This workplace comedy tells the story of a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — 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. Though these incredible educators 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.
“Abbott Elementary” stars Emmy Award winner Quinta Brunson as Janine Teagues, Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Janelle James as Ava Coleman, Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti, William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson and Emmy Award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard.
Quinta Brunson created the series and serves as executive producer alongside Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker of Delicious Non-Sequitur Productions, Randall Einhorn and Brian Rubenstein. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Disney’s 20th Television.
The fourth season is currently being released each week on ABC, Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States. The series is also available on Disney+ around the world.
“Abbott Elementary” is the first show to secure its slot on the 2025/2026 winter schedule and it shouldn’t come as a surprise, as when the show returned for its recent midseason premiere, it scored an all-time series high for episode views on streaming, based on the first seven days on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
Roger’s Take: “Abbott Elementary” is one of the biggest successes for ABC, and it’s not a surprise that Disney has renewed it since hit comedy shows aren’t easy to make. Long-running comedy series aren’t common nowadays and I’m sure this news is going to keep fans happy!
