Apple TV+’s Abbott Elementary is a heartwarming situational comedy created by Quinta Brunson. The series revolves around a group of primary school teachers at Abbott Elementary and the kind of hilarious struggles that they go through. It focuses on Janine Teagues, a character played by Brunson herself, and is filmed in the same mockumentary style as shows such as Parks and Recreation and The Office.

The official synopsis of Abbott Elementary reads:

“A workplace comedy centered around a group of dedicated teachers - and an oblivious principal - in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life.”

Tyler James Williams stars opposite Brunson as Gregory Eddie, her love interest. The series has released three seasons to date, with the latest concluding recently on May 22, 2024. As fans await the premiere of the upcoming season 4, scheduled for October 9, they may be curious about the cast featured in the new episodes.

First and foremost, Quinta Brunson, who created the series, stars as the protagonist, Janine Teagues, in Abbott Elementary. Janine is an emotional, happy-go-lucky, and talented primary school teacher who strives to do the best for her students.

The actress has brought the character to life expertly, and much of the narrative revolves around Teague’s professional and personal struggles. She has appeared in some major series such, as Superstore, Monsters at Work, and Black Monday.

Tyler James Williams plays the second major role in the series as Gregory Eddie. Eddie is a reserved, dedicated teacher who undergoes his fair share of struggles during his job. The character has been involved in a lengthy romantic arc alongside Janine Teagues, and the two can be expected to finally be in a relationship in season 4.

Williams has proven his acting chops in both voice acting and live-action series and movies. He voiced Hawkman in Harley Quinn and has been seen in series such as Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, Instant Mom, and A Black Lady Sketch Show.

Finally, the third major role in the show is played by Janelle James, who portrays Ava Coleman, the principal of Abbott Elementary. Ava is a party-loving, self-absorbed individual who is seen learning the art of being a principal.

Her character adds an obvious charm and humor to the show. Janelle James also has an impressive portfolio of roles across Hollywood already. She has been seen in projects such as Kite Man: Hell Yeah, Life and Beth, and Corporate.
