It’s official! “Abbott Elementary“, ABC’s flagship comedy series, is returning for a fifth season.
This beloved show, made by and starring Quinta Brunson, continues to lead the way as ABC’s top-performing comedy.
The Season 5 renewal was announced early, once again cementing its spot on the 2025-26 schedule.
True to the show’s spirit, the news came via an adorable video featuring schoolchildren, rather than the cast, delivering the big reveal.
Season 4’s Record-Breaking Numbers
Season 4 of “Abbott Elementary” has been nothing short of spectacular.
The January 8 crossover episode with FXX’s “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” brought in record-breaking ratings:
- Total viewers: 8.05 million
- Adults 18-49 rating: 2.57
- Streaming performance: Achieved the highest episode views on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ within seven days.
Notably, these impressive numbers exclude the iconic post-Oscars episode from last season, making the success of this season even more remarkable.
The Genius Behind “Abbott Elementary”
Produced by Warner Bros. Television and 20th Television (part of Disney Television Studios), “Abbott Elementary” tells the hilarious yet heartfelt story of a group of teachers at an underfunded public school in Philadelphia.
The show’s stellar cast includes:
- 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
- Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard
Quinta Brunson leads the creative team as executive producer, alongside Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, Randall Einhorn, and Brian Rubenstein.
What’s Coming Up In Season 4?
Season 4 of “Abbott Elementary” airs on Wednesdays on ABC, with episodes available to stream the next day on Hulu.
In the January 22 episode, the teachers face a relatable challenge: adapting to hybrid learning as a city bus strike prevents many students from attending school.
This storyline is another example of how the show weaves real-world issues into its comedic narrative.
