The hit comedy series, which starsQuinta Brunson,Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti and Sheryl Lee Ralph, has been renewed for another season after a successful premiere in December 2021.

“Faculty and Students (aka My Fans),” the note began. “The camera crew I hired to showcase all that I’ve made happen at our beautiful school thinks I’m a star. I mean are we surprised? No, we’re not :)”

“With that said, it is with great pleasure that I share they’ll be returning for the 2022-2023 school year!” the letter continued. “That’s right – Abbott Elementary Season Two is coming to a screen near you.”

“Despite my being a natural in front of the camera, these things don’t come for free, and my staff is having trouble seeing all of my unleashed potential! Something about needing supplies? Anywho, I could use your help getting them (Janine) off my back,” wrote Principal Coleman, before adding a link toDonorsChoose, an organization that helps supply students and teachers with materials, technology, and other classroom essentials.
