ABBOTT ELEMENTARY

DISNEY+ | 2021-NOW | COMEDY | SEASON 1 | BINGE FROM WED 1 JUNE

This mockumentary series is set in an underfunded Philadelphia public school for young children, where the dedicated teachers and somewhat tone-deaf principal Ava Coleman (Janelle James) are fighting the odds to give their kids the education they deserve, no matter how useless the school district is. If you’re looking for comedy series Parks And Recreation-style humour, it’s here! Series writer Quinta Brunson, who also plays grade 2 teacher Janine Teagues, will be familiar as a cast member of comedy series A Black Lady Sketch Show (see more about the series on p9).
