When it comes to the production of season 2, the cast and crew members are likely to get back to work soon and commence filming in a few months’ time. Suppose the production gets underway by the end of Summer 2022, then the new installment will be ready just in time for the 2022-2023 broadcast season. With that being said, we can expect ‘Abbott Elementary’ season 2 to release sometime in Q4 2022.
Abbott Elementary Season 2 Cast: Who can be in it?
Season 1 features Quinta Brunson (Janine Teagues), Tyler James Williams (Gregory Eddie), Janelle James (Ava Coleman), Lisa Ann Walter (Melissa Schemmenti), Chris Perfetti (Jacob Hill), and Sheryl Lee Ralph (Barbara Howard). Since these cast members portray central characters, most of them are likely to reprise their roles in the upcoming edition.
Among others who might return are William Stanford Davis (Mr. Johnson), Reginald C. Hayes (Superintendent Collins), Zack Fox (Tariq), Iyana Halley (Taylor Howard), and Camden Coley (Vick). Apart from them, we should not rule out the possibility of seeing some fresh faces as new characters may get introduced to keep the narrative interesting.
Abbott Elementary Season 2 Plot: What can it be About?
The first season’s narrative highlights themes such as dedication, inequality, determination, and passion. As the titular school faces several issues, the teachers try their best at work while also tackling personal issues. In the season finale, Tariq reveals that he has been offered a job in New York. This puts a big question mark on his relationship with Janine. After much consideration, Janine chooses Abbott and herself over Tariq, so she decides to break up with him. Moreover, Barbara’s daughter Taylor gets friendlier with Gregory.
So, in the second installment of the sitcom, Janine and Gregory might finally get together, following the former’s breakup with Tariq. However, matters could be complicated given Taylor and Gregory’s dynamic. In addition, we are likely to see the school go through another set of ups and downs as the teachers find ways to help the students out.
