Abbott Elementary Season 4 trailer

The fourth season of the popular comedy is soon to drop in Australia. You can watch the trailer here.

What is the plot of Abbott Elementary?

Styled as a mockumentary, the lives of the teachers at Abbott Elementary are documented with a crew in place. A predominantly Black Philadelphia public school, the school is terribly mismanaged that no teachers last more than two years for its poor conditions, except Janine Teagues (Brunson) and history teacher Jacob Hill (Chris Perfetti), who have since gotten used to broken stuff at school.

Joining Janine and Jacob in their mission to help students succeed in life despite their school’s outrageous conditions are kindergarten teacher Barbara Howard (Sheryl Lee Ralph), second grade teacher Melissa Schemmenti (Lisa Ann Walter), and slightly tone deaf principal Ava Coleman (Janelle James). William Stanford Davis also joins the cast as Mr. Johnson (introduced in Abbott Elementary Season 2).

Working at a school that’s terribly mismanaged, Janine and her colleagues are still able to present a stellar attitude toward educating children despite their everyday struggles. The arrival of their latest substitute hire Gregory Eddie (Tyler James Williams) only underscore every issue that affects their school. Shocked by the school’s lack of resources and support, Janine encourages Gregory pretty much most of the time.

Series creator Quinta Brunson also serves as executive producer alongside Randall Einhorn, Justin Halpern, and Patrick Schumacker. The comedy series is a collaboration between production companies Delicious Non-Sequitur, Fifth Chance (season 2-present), 20th Television, and Warner Bros.
