School will be back in session at ABC this fall, when Abbott Elementary returns to the network for its fourth season.

What is the Abbott Elementary Season 4 release date?
ABC hasn’t revealed an exact release date, but the show will premiere with the rest of the network’s fall 2024-2025 lineup.

Who is cast in Abbott Elementary Season 4?
Quinta Brunson as Janine Teagues.

Brunson stars as Janine, a sweet, determined second-grade teacher at Abbott Elementary who often gets in over her head. She is also the creator of the series and is an executive producer and writer.

Williams plays Gregory, a substitute teacher who goes full-time at Abbott after being rejected from the job of principal.

James plays Ava, the wisecracking and very unqualified school principal.

Walter plays Schemmenti, a tough, opinionated teacher at Abbott and a close friend of Barbara’s.

Ralph plays Barbara, a kindergarten teacher who has many years of experience and wisdom under her belt.

Davis plays Mr. Johnson, the school’s quirky, all-knowing custodian.

Will Janine and Gregory be a couple in Abbott Elementary Season 4?
That’s the million dollar question! The third season ended with them kissing at Janine’s apartment.

“It just felt like the right time,” Brunson said of the big moment. “To me, I feel that I always envisioned Season 3 would be the season that leads these two characters together after seeing a lot of growth for them as individuals.”

That certainly makes it sound like the characters will be going the distance in Season 4. But what will that mean for their jobs?
