What Time Does ‘Abbott Elementary’ Premiere on ABC? How to Watch Online

Philly’s finest educators are back from summer break, and that can only mean one thing: It’s time for Abbott Elementary Season 2.

ABC’s Emmy-winning mockumentary, created and produced by Quinta Brunson, follows a group of teachers at an underfunded public elementary school in Philadelphia. Brunson, who also serves as a writer on the show, stars as second grade teacher Janine Teagues. Janine gets by with a little help from her colleagues, and since the Season 1 finale showed her breaking up with her longtime boyfriend, she’s going to need their support more than ever in Season 2.

The description for Abbott Elementary‘s Season 2 premiere reads, “The teachers are back for development week, a time to prepare for the upcoming year; Janine is determined to start the year off right and leave her problems at home; Ava runs a side hustle out of the school parking lot.” You’re not going to want to miss a moment of “Development Day,” so be sure to tune in.
