Abbott Elementary, the mockumentary-style sitcom created by Quinta Brunson, follows the personal and professional lives of the faculty at Willard R. Abbott Elementary School as they are filmed for a documentary on underfunded and mismanaged schools.

The series has been showered with accolades, with 24 Primetime Emmy Award nominations and 4 wins (including Brunson taking home Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 2023). The show has garnered several addition awards as well, including three Golden Globe Awards.

Here are the cast members who are returning for Abbott Elementary season 4:

• Quinta Brunson as Janine Teagues
• Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie
• Janelle James as Ava Coleman
• Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti
• Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill
• Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard
• William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson

While Abbott Elementary season 3 was foreshortened due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023, Abbott Elementary season 4 will include 22 episodes. And better yet, fans won't have too long to see what's in store for their favorite characters, as the Abbott Elementary season 4 premiere is scheduled to air on ABC on October 9, 2024 and will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.

Plus, one additional piece of information was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. According to Brunson, the season will feature a crossover. However, she did not reveal with who, what, where, when or how. But she did mention that she thought "it would change television as we know it." Will you be tuning in when class is back in session at Abbott Elementary?
