LONDON, U.K. (2 February 2023) – Today, Disney+ announced that the highly-anticipated second season of the critically acclaimed “Abbott Elementary” will arrive on the platform on 1 March with 10 episodes. More episodes will be available on Disney+ later this year.
“Abbott Elementary” is a workplace comedy following a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal —as they navigate the Philadelphia public school system. Despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life, and though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don’t love the school district’s less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
Quinta Brunson – who recently won the Golden Globe® for Actress in a Musical or Comedy TV Series – created and stars as Janine Teagues, and she serves as executive producer of the series alongside Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker of Delicious Non-Sequitur Productions, and Randall Einhorn. In addition to Brunson, the cast includes Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Janelle James as Ava Coleman, Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti, Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson, and Emmy® Award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard.
Disney+ is available for £7.99 per month – with no hidden costs and the ability to cancel anytime. There’s something for everyone to watch, adding new TV series, blockbuster movies and exclusive originals throughout the year from our six key brands: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and Star. Series streaming exclusively on Disney+ include “Modern Family”, hit comedy series “Only Murders in the Building” and award-winning series “The Bear”. With our endless library of entertainment spanning everything from documentaries to critically acclaimed drama, and comedy to classic animation, you’ll find plenty of the stories you expect, plus so many more you wouldn’t.
