Premise

A documentary crew is recording the lives of teachers working in underfunded, mismanaged schools. One of the places they have decided to document is Philadelphia's Willard R. Abbott Elementary School, a predominantly Black Philadelphia public school. Conditions at the school are harsh and most teachers do not last more than two years. Second grade teacher Janine Teagues and history teacher Jacob Hill are two of three teachers in a group of twenty to make it past one year. They work with experienced kindergarten teacher Barbara Howard, second grade teacher Melissa Schemmenti, tone-deaf school principal Ava Coleman, and recent substitute hire Gregory Eddie.

Production

Background

The fictional school of Abbott Elementary is named after Joyce Abbott, one of Brunson's elementary school teachers.[30]

Development

Randall Einhorn directed the first five episodes of Abbott Elementary

On September 3, 2020, an untitled workplace comedy pilot starring Brunson landed a put pilot commitment at ABC.[31] In February 2021, ABC gave the project an official pilot order, originally with the title of Harrity Elementary.[32] In May, the project was given a series order.[33][34] Filming for the first season began on August 16, 2021, in Los Angeles, California, and concluded on November 5, 2021.[35][36] In August, three crew members tested positive for COVID-19 but production was not impacted.[37] The first season premiered on December 7, 2021,[38][39] and concluded on April 12, 2022, consisting of 13 episodes. On March 14, 2022, the series was renewed for a second season.[40] According to a tweet made by Quinta Brunson, the first day of filming for the second season began on July 18, 2022. On July 21, 2022, ABC ordered the second season of 22 episodes, giving it a full-season order.[5]

Casting

In March 2021, Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti, and Sheryl Lee Ralph were announced to star in the series alongside Brunson.[41] In November of the same year, William Stanford Davis was confirmed to recur as Mr. Johnson, the janitor.[42] On July 20, 2022, it was announced that Davis would be promoted to series regular for the second season.[43]

Music

The series does not use any original music or score written or recorded for it, instead using pre-existing and/or library music, often used as diegetic music (or source music), often performed "live" by cast members. The previously released song, "Hold'em", performed by Maker, was used as its main title theme.

Release

In the US, the show airs on ABC. In Australia and New Zealand the show was first released on Disney+ under the Star content hub on February 16 as a Star Original with a 6 episode premiere with new episodes weekly before airing in several countries in Europe such as UK, France, Italy and Germany.[44] [45]

In Canada, the series airs on Global, with episodes available to stream on the Global TV app the next day.[46] Season 1 is currently available to stream on Disney+ under the Star content hub.

Season Rotten Tomatoes Metacritic
1 98% (45 reviews)[47] 80 (16 reviews)[48]
2 100% (11 reviews)[49] 90 (8 reviews)[50]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds an approval rating of 98% with an average rating of 8.3 out of 10, based on 45 reviews.

Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter said "[it] works well enough to deliver a consistent good time — and I suspect that given time, Abbott Elementary could blossom into something truly special". Han also said the first episodes "[are] a willingness to deal with class head on, while also finding humor in the characters' situations", and concluded that Abbott Elementary is "crowd-pleasing."[51]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season has received an approval rating of 100% with an average rating of 9 out of 10, based on 11 reviews.
