The primary school comedy scores another early pickup.
January 21, 2025
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.

Most of the comedy comes from the characters and not the story. But we've seen these characters for several seasons so there's little they do now that keeps me interested.
