It looks like school will be back in session, because ABC has confirmed that Abbott Elementary season four is officially a go.
Per Deadline, William Stanford Davis, who plays Mr. Johnson on the Emmy-winning sitcom, announced that there will be another season during Disney’s Television Critics Association Press Tour in February. The renewal comes as no surprise, however, given the show's massive success since it first aired in 2021.
When asked about what makes the show such a big hit, creator and star Quinta Brunson told ABC News, "The secret sauce is comedy first. Since the show has come out, there have been many things added, many facets like, 'Oh, Abbott shines a light on teachers,' which we do, [and] 'Abbott shines a light on a diverse community,' which we do...That to me is not as important as making comedy first and foremost. That is why I think we're having continued success, because my main goal is to make someone be able to sit down and share a laugh with us."
So, what can fans expect to see in season four? Which characters will return? Here's what we know so far.
