Abbott Elementary season 4 plot
We don't have particular plot points for season 4, but we hope that now that Janine and Gregory have kissed without apology, they will finally become a couple. In the meantime, here is the official synopsis of the overall series:
"In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible educators 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."
Abbott Elementary season 4 cast
To date, all of the original Abbott Elementary cast is expected to come back for season 4. That means Quinta Brunson returns in the role of Janine Teagues. Brunson’s career shot to new heights when the sitcom hit the airways. Abbott Elementary has made the actress an Emmy winner, a Golden Globe recipient and a SAG winner, among other distinct honors. The actress/writer has also been spotted recently in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story and History of the World: Part II.
Starring alongside Brunson are Tyler James Williams and Sheryl Lee Ralph as Gregory Eddie and Barbara Howard, respectively. Williams has starred in other shows like Everybody Hates Chris and The Walking Dead. Ralph has also been spotted in series such as Moesha and Ray Donovan.
Rounding out the cast are Janelle James (Black Monday), Lisa Ann Walter (The Parent Trap), Chris Perfetti (The Resident) and William Stanford Davis (Swagger) as Mr. Johnson.
