It may have taken a while, but Abbott Elementary is reopening for the year! After sweeping several awards ceremonies with its stellar first season (and picking up several more nods for this year's Emmys with season 2), ABC's beloved workplace comedy was renewed for its third season back in January 2023. “Each week, this talented group of artists celebrates true unsung heroes—public school teachers,” Channing Dungey, chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group, told Variety in January 2023. “Abbott Elementary is the gift that keeps on giving, and I look forward to many more magnificent episodes of this brilliant, authentic, and just plain funny series.”
Abbott season 3 was perhaps the most heartbreaking delay of last year's WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, as the sitcom was originally planned to return to air last fall. Fans have been waiting with bated breath for their weekly dose of serotonin (as well as an answer to the season 2 finale's romantic cliffhanger) ever since. Now that the strikes are well behind us and season 3's officially on its way, here's what we know about the new episodes so far.
