Following questions about whether Abbott Elementary‘s third season would be adversely affected by the Hollywood strikes, writer/producer/star Quinta Brunson admitted that she had kind-of “welcomed a shorter season” due to the previous 22-episode structure of the show. Still, she loves what she does and is clearly ready to get rolling again. Good news on that subject has arrived from ABC on Twitter: “Put it in your planners – #AbbottElementary is BACK with new season premiering February 7 on ABC & stream on Hulu!”
