The school will be in session a bit late due to the WGA strike. But the good news is that ‘Abbott Elementary’ will be back for its third season soon. The second season came to an end in March 2023, and in May 2023, the SAG-WGA strike began. Now that the WGA and studios have struck a deal, the production of the series has begun.
‘Abbott Elementary’ created quite a buzz for a niche show, but thanks to the writing and stellar performances by the lead cast, the show was nominated for various awards. The cast won big during the Emmy Awards. It is a show about teachers from public schools making the best out of whatever is provided to them for the students while navigating the complexities in their lives. So, after two successful seasons, how does the third season look?

Quinta Brunson Has A Sad Update About The Show
After the end of the SAG-WGA strike, ‘Abbott Elementary’ creator Quinta Brunson talked to Deadline about the update on the third season of the show. As per Quinta, there will be one-hour-long episodes, but the show will have fewer episodes in comparison to 22 episodes in the second season due to the strike.
However, Quinta Brunson is “not complaining” as she said, “We did 22 last season, and that’s a lot of TV, in particular for me because I’m writing and producing and starring in it. So for me, I welcomed a shorter season because it was tiring, exhausting work. Love it, but exhausting for me.”
