Abbott Elementary Season 2 Plot
Quinta Brunson who plays Janine Teagues said that two people need to grow up and he named Janine- to grow “up” and Gregory to grow “down.” He further added that the team wants to show the modern experiences of people who are in their mid-20s and the show must showcase what growth is really like on network TV.
Tyler James Williams who plays Gregory Eddie said that he is excited to continue the “will they won’t they” romance between Janine and Gregory. He further added that Gregory along with Janine has to grow a lot before they are ready for a relationship. He pointed out that he can see how they could have something special if they ever work it out among themselves.
When William was teased about his part, he said that the team will find interesting ways to give it to the audience, and it was not going to be the way it is expected. Yet he assured that there is some of that to look forward to.

Mr. Johnson, played by William Stanford, has been promoted to the series regular now.
After the debut of Abbot Elementary Season 1, the show got strong online support. Cast member Lisa Ann Walter (who plays Melissa) said, “it makes me incredibly happy to see how many people have found the show and are watching it and have shared on social media about their experienced and how they felt after watching it.”
She shared how she once read- “I have nothing good going on in my life right now and I’m worried about everything. But the show has become my safe spot. It is a source of joy for me. And it makes me laugh and forget about everything.”
The series is created and written by Quinta Brunson and directed by Randall Einhorn and Shahrzad Davani.
Williams, who plays Gregory, reflected on the series rising to success and said, “I don’t like to be cocky but it was pretty clear to us once we shot the pilot that this was something unique. After calculating the ways of casting and network placement it was clear on paper that it would work.” He further added that when the January 4 episode aired, he texted Quinta and said that he’ll be calling that a hit. He said so because of the type of numbers it was holding.

What To Expect From Abbott Elementary Season 2?
Fans can expect the second season to delve deeper into the personal lives of beloved teachers of Abbott Elementary. All the fans who want Janine and Gregory together will probably have to wait as at the moment– Gregory is dating Barbara’s daughter, Taylor (played by Iyana Halley).
The show’s cast and showrunners seem to have a lot of ideas for the coming season. Brunson, in an interview, revealed plans for more field trips, figuratively and literally. Meanwhile, Sheryl Lee Ralph who plays Barbara wants the character to start a choir in the vein of Sister Act 2; and Lisa Ann Walter who plays Melissa Schemmenti wants the character to gather a crew to travel to a teaching convention but they can’t afford it as it is an expensive one.
Since Janine (played by Brunson) finally broke up with her boyfriend Tariq (played by Zack Fox), we can expect her life to change as she navigates through single life—while still being herself, i.e., the perky, lovable, and charmingly annoying teacher she is.
