Hulu’s popular sitcom “Abbott Elementary” has been renewed for its fifth season at ABC. The show, created by Quinta Brunson, follows the lives of teachers and staff at a Philadelphia public school as they navigate the challenges of educating unruly students in an underfunded environment.
The series, which premiered on ABC last year and stars Brunson, Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Chris Perfetti, Lisa Ann Walter, William Stanford Davis, and Sheryl Lee Ralph, has gained a significant following. Its latest episode, titled “Strike,” explores the consequences of a school bus strike on the students’ education.
Brunson’s show has received critical acclaim, winning four Emmys, including acting prizes for Brunson and Ralph. The mockumentary-style series has been praised for its authentic portrayal of urban education and has drawn comparisons to other popular sitcoms like “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation.”
With the renewal announcement, fans can look forward to more episodes of “Abbott Elementary,” which will continue to air on ABC’s Wednesday nights at 8:30 p.m. ET, followed by streaming on Hulu the next day.
