Abbott Elementary Season 2: Release Date, Cast, How to Stream
In case you haven’t had a chance to visit yet Abbott Elementary School nevertheless, a treat awaits you. The biggest new comedy of the year, created by Quinta Brunson, premiered in December 2021 and joined the ranks of Teddy Lasso and Schott’s Creek as one of our favorite comedy series of all time. The mockumentary-style feel-good show follows the teachers of an underfunded public school – and their hilarious principal – as they do their best to shape young minds (played by equally hilarious child actors) with the help of few but tons of resources to put their hearts into it.
