A teaser for Abbott Elementary season 2 focuses on the returning faculty, led by Quinta Brunson's Janine, as they kick off the new academic year.
Abbott Elementary releases a new teaser trailer that reunites its core faculty. Created by Quinta Brunson, Abbott Elementary proved to be an unlikely hit on ABC earlier this year, taking critics and viewers by storm. The show revolves around the eponymous underfunded Philadelphia public school. Abbott's teachers, led by Brunson's Janine Teagues, make do with whatever meager resources they have to ensure the students' education and development are not compromised, despite troubles posed by financial crunches and tone-deaf management.
Considering its outstanding success among both viewers and critics, Abbott Elementary was quickly renewed for season 2 in March 2022. Filming on the new episodes has been underway since July, and although details of what's to come are mostly under wraps, there is already a substantial amount of buzz surrounding the season. Earlier, ABC scheduled the Abbott Elementary season 2 premiere on September 21, and now its first look has been unveiled.

Abbott Elementary season 2 debuted a new teaser trailer that sees the faculty coming back with full swag. The hilarious clip features the returning characters as they are locked outside the school, with William Stanford Davis' newly-promoted series regular Mr. Johnson too busy jamming out to help them. A colorful tie-in poster was also shared with the teaser, which shows just how much fun it would be coming back to school with the dedicated teachers. Check out the teaser, as well as the poster, for Abbott Elementary season 2 below.
As the video and the poster tease, the teachers of Abbott Elementary are all set to return in full force, and rightfully so, considering they are coming back with seven Emmy nominations. The clip doesn't provide much insight into the story details for Abbott Elementary season 2, but thanks to previous comments from Tyler James Williams and Brunson, a little has been revealed. For one, the love triangle between Janine, Gregory, and Taylor will get messier; meanwhile, Barbara and Melissa will struggle to keep pace with the rapidly changing world around them. As the new Abbott Elementary season 2 trailer confirms, though, even as the characters grapple with new circumstances, they'll still retain their humor.
Unlike its freshman run, Abbott Elementary season 2 has received a full season order, meaning that there are nearly twice as many episodes to explore the characters' exploits in and out of the school. More time can also be devoted to the sharply comedic dissection of the issues facing the U.S. education system today. So far, Abbott Elementary has excelled with its sincere balancing act that leans neither toward cynicism nor melodrama. Hence, it will certainly be interesting to see how it continues delivering this impressive blend of light-hearted comedy and rousing social commentary in Abbott Elementary season 2, especially now that the show has captured the attention of masses across the world.
Abbott Elementary season 2 premieres Wednesday, September 21 on ABC.
