“Abbott Elementary” is an American mockumentary sitcom television series created by Quinta Brunson for ABC. It stars Brunson as Janine Teagues, a perpetually optimistic second-grade teacher at the underfunded Abbott Elementary, a fictional, predominantly black public school in West Philadelphia. The ensemble cast includes Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti, William Stanford Davis, and Sheryl Lee Ralph. Tyler James Williams plays Gregory Eddie, at first a substitute for a recently fired first-grade teacher and later a full-time teacher, who quickly harbors a crush on Janine. He has been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on the show. Williams was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the fifth season of the show, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the show, which airs on ABC and is available to stream now on Hulu and Disney+. Thank you, and enjoy!
