It’s back to school season as after a Hollywood-strike-enforced delay, “Abbott Elementary” finally returns to our screens. While it’s due to be a shorter season of the Emmy-winning sitcom, it’s sure to deliver all the laughs and feels we’ve come to expect – and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.
"Abbott Elementary" season 3 premieres Wednesday, February 7 at 9:00 p.m ET/PT
• U.S. — Watch on ABC via Sling Blue or Fubo or the next day on Hulu
• Canada — Watch on Global TV or later on Disney Plus
• U.K. and Australia — Disney Plus
• Watch anywhere — try ExpressVPN 100% risk-free
When we last left the faculty of Abbott in the season 2 finale, Ava (Janelle James) had decided to attend night school while Janine (Quinta Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams) had decided to remain friends, despite their newly discovered feelings for one another. Season 3 looks set to develop these threads with an awkward relationship between Jannine and Gregory and Ava bringing her new, Harvard-inspired style to the school.
The usual faces return this season, with Lisa Ann Walter and William Stanford Davis also back as Mellissa and Mr. Johnson. Meanwhile, Kimia Behpoornia and Benjamin Norris are set to join the cast as school district representatives.
The classroom is due to reopen on Wednesday, February 7, so pack your pencils and read on for how to watch “Abbott Elementary” season 3 from wherever you are.
