What is Abbott Elementary’s backstory?
Quinta Brunson stars in the sitcom, which follows the lives of the teachers and staff at Abbott Elementary, a fictitious primarily Black school in Philadelphia.
According to the official synopsis of the show,
“In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers—and a slightly tone-deaf principal—are thrown together in a Philadelphia public school, where they are motivated to help their children succeed in life despite the odds stacked against them.”
It continues,
“Despite being outnumbered and underpaid, these incredible public servants enjoy what they do — even if they don’t agree with the school district’s less-than-stellar approach to education.”
Randall Einhorn, Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Quinta Brunson serve as executive producers for the show.
