Quinta Brunson’s Hit ‘Abbott Elementary’ Will Be Renewed for a 6th Season

On Wednesday, ABC renewed Abbott Elementary for Season 6 in 2026-27, which should take the series past the 100-episode mark as Season 5 resumes with a new episode tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Because the show performs well across broadcast and streaming, Abbott Elementary continues to perform solidly on ABC and Hulu and Disney+, earning 30 Emmy nominations and four wins.
Ratings show robust total- and demo-viewing numbers, as Abbott averaged 6.16 million viewers in January and remains a key ABC comedy alongside Shifting Gears and Scrubs.
Produced by Warner Bros. Television and 20th Television, Abbott Elementary remains institutionally supported as ABC again picked up the series early, ensuring 'School will remain in session at Abbott Elementary'.
Season 5's Oct. 1 premiere helps explain the timing of this pickup, as budget trims for veteran shows may affect ABC's returning scripted series in the 2026-27 season.
