Watch Abbott Elementary Season 3: Synopsis
Arriving hot off the heels of winning three Golden Globes and an Emmy, the third season of the much-loved ABC comedy Abbott Elementary is well underway. Changes are afoot and relationships are budding. Keep reading to discover how to watch Abbott Elementary Season 3 online and wherever you are.
The mockumentary-style sitcom is one of the hottest comedies around right now, with creator and lead actress Quinta Brunton (A Black Lady Sketch Show) seamlessly moving from Instagram sensation to highly decorated network show runner.
Perhaps the most anticipated storyline of Season 3, the kindling romance between her character Janine and fellow teacher Gregory (Tyler James Williams) is proving to be a classic will-they-won't-they narrative trodden many times before by the likes of Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd in Moonlighting or Jim and Pam in The Office... and we're here for it!
Elsewhere, principal Ava is bringing some revolutionary Ivy League ideas to the Philadelphia public school and we're once again catching up with Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter), Jacob (Chris Perfetti) and Mr. Johnson (William Stanford Davis), together with some new faces on campus.
And with the show's global popularity continuing to grow this season, some of TV's biggest stars are queuing up to guest star. We won't spoil who might tread the halls of Willard R. Abbott Elementary School, but past guests include the likes of Taraji P. Henson and Leslie Odom Jr.
Season 3 continues with episode 5, "Breakup". So find your locker, open your textbooks and prepare for more Abbott antics. Here's how to watch Abbott Elementary Season 3 online now and stream episodes as they land with our guide.
