How Many Seasons Can We Expect from Abbott Elementary?
Well, Brunson plans to create as many as nine seasons. During an interview with ELLE.com, she said “When I was [first] thinking about Abbott, I thought about a season one and then I thought about a season nine,” adding further “Not that I’m saying it would make it to a season nine because that’s a long way away—I don’t even know if people want [the show] to go to a season nine—but I was like, Where would I like these characters to end up? And I think that, if you know the end of the story, you can do everything you need to do in between to keep it from getting there too soon but still be building up to that.”
Abbott Elementary Season 2 Cast
We can expect the main cast’s return from season 1 to reprise their roles. Here are the names:
- Quinta Brunson to portray Janine Teagues
- Janelle James to portray Ava Coleman
- Tyler James Williams to portray Gregory Eddie
- Lisa Ann Walter to portray Melissa Schemmenti

Abbott Elementary Season 2 Expected Storyline
Though nothing has been hinted at about the plot of the second season but in an interview, the cast shared their expectations for the upcoming season.
While Brunson sought to take more field trips beyond the Abbott Elementary halls whereas Ralph wanted Barbara to begin a choir in the vein of Sister Act 2, Walter sought the crew to visit a teaching convention unless “they can’t afford an expensive one, so it’s like Atlantic City.” Davis wishes “[Gregory’s] got to grow a lot before he’s ready for a relationship, period, let alone with Janine. However from the outside perspective we can see how if they do the work they could really have something special.”

Abbott Elementary fans do not have to wait long as the new season is approaching. Stay tuned on Venturejolt for more such latest updates.
