I came here to say the same when you posted, but coming back, I really wanted to reiterate this - it has so much heart but also warmth, and during this part of the pandemic (plus winter), it's been a saving grace and a comfort.
According to a user on Reddit, the finale episode is a field trip to the Philly zoo. Just imagining what will ensue with Ava at a zoo. I cannot wait.
Oh, please let this be true! I’m at the edge of my seat. I can’t wait to see Janine trying to casually coax her student out of the gorilla enclosure and for Ava to chase a chimp for mischievously swiping her bracelet.
May Sweeps run confirmed now so ABC has real faith in it. Also, IMDB updated today and episode 13 is called “Zoo Balloon”, so I’m thinking that Reddit user is accurate!
If it's taking a three week break then the show would end early to mid-April. November/February/May sweeps aren't really a thing anymore though are they? The networks have pretty much moved away from scheduling their shows with that in mind now that they are aiming for more year-round programming, especially during covid times.
“The people have spoken, Lori Leftfoot!” “You know I applied to Morehouse?” This show never stops giving
I’m shocked we still haven’t had a renewal announcement. Maybe they are waiting for the week it starts airing again…
I just read this on Twitter and came to post, but you beat me to it! If teachers and students will benefit by me supporting Abbott Elementary, sign me up for a lifetime membership. In lieu of a tote and t-shirt, just send more money to the schools. Seriously, I couldn’t love this show more.
I'm thinking Quinta and ABC are trying to agree on the terms of the renewal. ABC might want 18 episodes, she might want 13 again and at a higher fee, etc. It will definitely come back.
