Winter's Cumin' Streaming 24' - Abbott Elementary - Seasons One to Three

Abbott Elementary is honestly so good, so wholesome and a totally easy binge!

So I found this on Disney+ recently. Smashed the 13 & 22 episode first and second seasons, created by Quinta Brunson for ABC (USA). 

Brunson stars as lead teacher, Janine Teagues, a perpetually optimistic second-grade teacher at the underfunded Abbott Elementary, a fictional predominantly Black school in Philadelphia. The handsome Tyler James Williams also stars along with, Janelle James as AVA, YASS!, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti, William Stanford Davis, and Sheryl Lee Ralph.

Season three (more about this below the trailer) only landed late this week. I just smashed all 14 (13 as the putting the opening Career Day, Part 1 & 2 together as one) in like a day and a half. I can't believe it. I was hooked on Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard all over again!

I seriously slept on this. Abbott Elementary started all the way back in December, 2021.

The series was met with critical acclaim and strong viewership numbers on Hulu.

The show has been nominated for 15 Primetime Emmy Awards, winning four including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Brunson. Abbott Elementary has also won three Golden Globe Awards, with acting wins for Brunson and Williams and the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy in 2023. 

Earlier this year, three days after the third season premiere, it was also renewed for a fourth season. Most likely though, Disney+ in Australia will delay this till around a month after it airs in it's entirety in the USA. I am still waiting on 9-1-1's recent series too! Come on Disney+!

Now onto the third season of Abbott Elementary. Honestly, why did I sleep on this? It is a brilliant like 20 minute sitcom, with loveable characters and great one liners!

This season after the writers strike aired later than normal on ABC in early February.

The 14 episode run, while serving fewer episodes than the previous season, kept it tight!

There were guests galore too this season. Kevin Hart, Bradley Cooper, Questlove at Ava Fest 2.0, Philadelphia Eagles players Jalen Hurts, Brandon Graham and Jason Kelce. Plus appearances from 

Lana Condor, Keegan-Michael Key, Cree Summer, Tatyana Ali and Karan Soni.

Recently on Apple TV+ I discovered Josh Segarra (The Big Door Prize) who plays Manny in this season. He is also a standout addition to this season.

I honestly cannot wait for Abbott Elementary to return. 

I never watched the series prior using this mockumentary format similar to one of The Office and Modern Family.

Throughout the three seasons, the teachers/students are followed by a documentary crew recording underfunded schools including the fictional Willard R. Abbott Elementary School, a predominantly Black Philadelphia public school. 

I cannot recommend this strongly enough. Totally brilliant. Like yesterday's Colin from Accounts this will feature highly in my RATED for the Winter's Cumin' Streaming 24' series.
