At the 2024 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour on February 10, ABC announced ‘Abbott Elementary’s Season 4 renewal with help from star William Stanford Davis.
Class is back in session…AGAIN!
Less than a week after Abbott Elementary‘s supersized Season 3 premiere, ABC granted Quinta Brunson’s Emmy-winning comedy an early Season 4 renewal. The network announced that Abbott Elementary would be returning for a fourth season during the 2024 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour on February 10, with help from William Stanford Davis, aka Abbott‘s very own Mr. Johnson.
According to a press release from ABC, the workplace mockumentary “delivered a 3.56 rating in Adults 18-49 after 35 days of viewing across platforms, marking the strongest season average for an ABC comedy since the 2019-2020 season.” The series also ranked as ABC’s most successful multi-platform series, with next-day streaming on Hulu, so it’s easy to see why the renewal came so soon after its Season 3 premiere.
Following its Season 2 finale in April 2023, Abbott‘s writers’ room was set to swiftly reopen on May 1 when the Writers Guild of America embarked on what would become a historic 148-day strike.
