After a massively successful first season, ABC's new comedy Abbott Elementary is heading back to school in the fall. Today, ABC announced that the acclaimed show will return to TVs for a second season starting on Wednesday, Sept. 21, at 9 p.m. ET. Led by Quinta Brunson, who stars as the show’s Janine Teagues, Abbott Elementary follows the lives of passionate teachers working in an underfunded school district. Since its premiere in late 2021, it quickly became a fan favorite and was renewed for a second season. ABC also shifted the show's time in response to its success, giving it Modern Family's coveted 9 p.m. slot. The show’s second season will shift to a new focus on the teachers’ lives at home, according to a recent interview with Brunson by Entertainment Tonight. “I know that doesn’t seem like a big deal, but we didn't go to anyone's house in the first season and so for me it's really exciting that we'll be going to Melissa's house and Janine's house,” Brunson told Entertainment Tonight.Alongside Abbott Elementary, there are plenty of other shows that will return this fall — here are the shows that we're the most excited for.
