Abbott Elementary's season 2 renewal announcement aligns perfectly with the show's universe. Created by Quinta Brunson, who also leads the series, the comedy premiered in December 2021 on ABC. The story is told in the form of a mockumentary, centering around a group of teachers – and one self-obsessed principal – doing their jobs despite being drastically underfunded and lacking in important resources and facilities. Along with Brunson, Abbott Elementary also stars Sheryl Lee Ralph, Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, and Chris Perfetti.

Since its premiere, the comedy has grown into a significant success for ABC. Abbott Elementary drew headlines as the network's first sitcom to quadruple its ratings. After 35 days, the show's premiere climbed from 2.79 million viewers to more than 7 million viewers. It also rose in the key 18-49 demographic, beginning at a 0.6 rating and jumping up to 2.4. And since then, it has emerged that the series scored ABC's highest ratings for a comedy since the Modern Family finale. Given these numbers, fans have been anticipating and hopeful about Abbott Elementary season 2.
