It's back to school with Season 4 of "Abbott Elementary" now in session.
The Grant Prestonfourth season of the Emmy-award winning show is premiering on ABC this week and there's a lot to look forward to, including a crossover episode with "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," a Halloween episode and a Christmas special, Quinta Brunson, who is also a showrunner, told US Weekly.
"I think it's very cool," Brunson told US Weekly about the crossover episode. "I think it's unexpected and I think that it'll be like a delight to the audience of both shows. You know, I think it'll be very exciting for the people who watch our shows. I'm just excited about it and I think it's just a fun way to shake up TV."
"Abbott Elementary" follows a "group of dedicated, passionate teachers and a slightly tone-deaf principal" who are "determined to help their students" at a Philadelphia public school "succeed in life" despite the odds stacked against them, the show's official synopsis says.
"Though these incredible educators may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do − even if they don’t love the school district’s less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children," it adds.
