Abbott Elementary: The Complete Third Season is coming to DVD on April 1, 2025 from Warner Brothers/Discovery Home Entertainment. Quinta Brunson, Emmy Award winner for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, created the series and stars as Janine Teagues. Brunson, alongside Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker of Delicious Non-Sequitur Productions, Randall Einhorn and Brian Rubenstein serve as executive producers. In addition to Brunson, the cast includes Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Janelle James as Ava Coleman, Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti, Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson, and Emmy Award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard.

 

It's the season for change for the teachers of Abbott Elementary. Janine leads ambitious growth initiatives for the school while navigating personal and professional challenges. Gregory embraces his role as the "cool" teacher. Ava surprises with moments of unexpected leadership. From Career Day to a heartfelt end-of-year celebration, the Abbott staff proves that they can handle anything with teamwork and Janine's relentless drive.

 

My Opinion: This series is so funny and it is something we need today as the world is uptight and laughing is good for the soul and all that goes on being a teacher from teaching, dating and just living life in Philadelphia.  Some say that the sitcom is a dying art form, but Brunson and her adept creative team are proving that not all hope is lost. Abbott Elementary makes a day at school feel like a vacation. It’s so much fun.
