ABC announced today that Abbott Elementary has been renewed for a fifth season. It's another early pickup for the workplace comedy, coming midway through its Season 4 run. The move makes sense, as the acclaimed series is one of the network's stronger performing original shows.

The half-hour sitcom follows a group of passionate teachers, along with their slightly tone-deaf principal, doing their best to help their students succeed at a Philadelphia public school. Outnumbered and underfunded, these dedicated educators still love their jobs, even if the school district has a less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.

Look for Season 5 of Abbott Elementary this fall as part of the 2025-2026 season.
