On the set of the show, the "Abbott Elementary" creator and star discussed what to expect from the new season, including more fan-favorite elements.
BURBANK, Calif. — With two seasons of her award-winning sitcom under her belt, Quinta Brunson feels like “Abbott Elementary” is now a “really well-oiled machine.”
“Have you ever seen, at the end of [‘Avengers: Endgame’], Tony Stark does a snap, and then he’s like: ‘You can rest?’ I feel like that this year. I feel like I can rest,” the creator and star told reporters Tuesday on the set of the workplace mockumentary series on the Warner Bros. lot.
Fresh off of the show’s Season 3 premiere last week, ABC already renewed the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning sitcom for a fourth season, announced Saturday during the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour.
On Tuesday, Brunson — joined by her fellow executive producers Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker, and executive producer and director Randall Einhorn — discussed what to expect from the new season, including more fan-favorite elements.
For instance, the sitcom, which follows a group of teachers at a fictional Philadelphia public school, will continue to feature more Philadelphia locations and landmarks this season, the team explained. In addition, Brunson teased there will be more guest stars and celebrity cameos, describing how she’s already had several “pinch-me moments” just in the past week of filming.
