Production edit
Development edit
The series was renewed for a third season in January 2023, months prior to the conclusion of the second.[26] The renewal was announced by Craig Erwich at the Television Critics Association's Winter 2023 press tour. When speaking of the third season renewal, Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group had this to say:
"This renewal is a richly deserved feather in the cap of Quinta Brunson, Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Randall Einhorn, as well as the rest of the cast and crew of Abbott Elementary. Each week, this talented group of artists celebrates true unsung heroes — public school teachers. And for some extra icing on the renewal cake, our favorite group of teachers was honored this morning with two Screen Actors Guild Award nominations and last night with three Golden Globe Awards. 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."[26]
Brunson, Halpern, Schumacker and Einhorn are all expected to return as executive producers.[26][27] Writing for the season was originally expected to commence on May 1, 2023; however the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike and 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike postponed this date indefinitely.[28][29] Brunson, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Lisa Ann Walter are among those from the cast who have publicly supported the strike,[30][31][32] and as confirmed by writer Brittani Nichols, the strike affected the number of episodes and start date of the third season.[33][34][35] In May 2023, it was announced via a press release by ABC, that the season premiere would be pushed back to an early 2024 air date.[36] On November 10, 2023, ABC picked up the series for a full third season of 14 episodes.[37]
Writing edit
Following writing delays due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes, writing began that October. The writers chose to explain the five month time-jump from the second season by having the camera crew being robbed, as they felt it was logical that way. They had envisioned including a teacher's strike in the narrative, but decided not to do so as they felt it was "too winky, too meta". As such, they chose to focus on how the difficulties underfunded teachers face by having Janine accept her new job with optimism. Additionally, the writers also consulted with a newly-elected board member of the Los Angeles School District and various teachers who joined the WGA picket lines.[38]
Casting edit
All seven regular cast members from the first two seasons returned; including Quinta Brunson, Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti, William Stanford Davis and Sheryl Lee Ralph.[26][39][40] In January 2024, it was announced that Josh Segarra, Kimia Behpoornia and Benjamin Norris had joined the cast in recurring roles, portraying school district representatives sent to make positive change to Abbott.[41]
Like the seasons before it, the third season features various guest stars. Most notably including Philadelphia Eagles players Jalen Hurts, Brandon Graham and Jason Kelce.[7] When asked about how the trio made their way on to the show, producer Justin Halpern stated:
"Jalen Hurts’ people actually emailed us in the middle of season two to say that he was a big fan of the show, and if there was ever an opportunity he’d be interested in being on it. Sports are a big part of Philadelphia. It’s in the DNA of the city. Quinta said before, “You can’t do a Philly show and not have them talking about sports.” So we’re doing this career day episode, and we want a fun, exciting guest star for our premiere — but not just a famous person because they’re famous."[7]
In March 2024, it was confirmed that Lana Condor, Keegan-Michael Key, Cree Summer, Tatyana Ali and Karan Soni would guest star and/or recur during the season.[5]
Filming edit
While being interviewed by Deadline Hollywood, Sheryl Lee Ralph revealed that principal photography for the third season was originally expected to commence in July 2023; however this date was pushed back indefinitely due to the strikes.[42] After both strikes were resolved, the third season was confirmed to begin filming on November 27, 2023.[43] Like the first two seasons, the interior scenes of the series are filmed at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, with exterior shots of the series being filmed in front of Vermont Elementary School in Los Angeles.[44][45]
Reception edit
Critical response edit
On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has received an approval rating of 100% based on 8 reviews.[46]
Ratings edit
The season premiered on February 7, 2024, following premiere episodes of The Conners and Not Dead Yet. The third season retains its time slot of Wednesday nights at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.[37]
"Willard R. Abbott" aired in a special Sunday-night scheduling following the 96th Academy Awards, resulting in a series high in total viewership, and audience share among viewers 18-49.[47][48]
