What to expect from Abbott Elementary season 4?
The Quinta Brunson creation can be expected to take things up a notch in season 4. This season is expected to finally give substance to the romantic arc between Janine Teagues and Gregory Eddie, Tyler James Williams’ character. The two have been involved in a longstanding ‘will, they won’t they?’ arc, which is set to result in an actual relationship soon.
Further, season 4 will feature a crossover episode with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The crossover will include major stars from both shows, setting things up for a truly entertaining episode. All major cast members from Abbott Elementary are expected to reprise their roles in the upcoming season.
Tyler James Williams recently teased that Gregory and Janine will undergo further struggles to maintain their relationship. According to US Weekly, he said:
"[It is] new and fresh and different from what the previous seasons were. This season should feel tonally different for them. [When season 4 starts], this will be the first time that Gregory is in the school having fully disclosed and tried to explore what happened with Janine."
He continued:
"Obviously, it’s a workplace and it’s going to make things a little complicated. The biggest thing that I can tease is how do you interact with a coworker that you have now expressed feelings for and definitely had some sort of physical interaction with? That’s really his biggest challenge this year."
Hence, fans can expect some more obstacles as the two attempt to kickstart their romantic relationship.
Quinta Brunson is delighted with increased episode count
Abbott Elementary season 4 is set to include a total of 22 episodes, a vast increase from the 14 episodes in season 3. According to US Weekly, Brunson shared her excitement about the increased count, stating:
“What’s fun about 22 episodes is being able to have multiple arcs throughout the season. I’m just so excited to return to having longer arcs that last six episodes long. But then also having some that only last two episodes within the 22."
She continued:
"I am really pumped to be able to tell those kinds of stories again because with our truncated season 3, it was a little bit harder to do and minimized the amount of different arcs we would’ve done.”
Abbott Elementary season 4 will be available to stream on October 9, 2024.
