The renewal comes after the highly anticipated start of season three, which was postponed due to last year's strikes. Not only did the episode provide a fitting explanation for why the camera crews missed the first half of the school year, but it also featured some super-sized guest stars.
Season two of Abbott Elementary was a hit for ABC with an average audience rating of 3.56 for adults 18-49 in the 35-day viewing period. That was the strongest season average for an ABC comedy since the 2019-2020 season.
Recently, creator and lead actress Quinta Brunson also took home the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for season two.
Starring alongside Brunson are Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Janelle James as Ava Coleman, Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti, Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson and Emmy Award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard in the series.
Brunson, along with Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker of Delicious Non-Sequitur Productions, Randall Einhorn and Brian Rubenstein serve as executive producers.
