Abbott Elementary Season 5: S05E01-S-5E03 Previews

Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 1: "Team Building" – The teachers prepare for the upcoming school year with new faces and big changes on the horizon. Written by Quinta Brunson.

Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 2: "Cheating" – Melissa tries to outsmart her students; Tariq causes chaos in Janine's class, and a new guidance counselor joins the school. Written by Brian Rubenstein.

Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 3: "Ballgame" – The Abbott crew heads to the ballpark for Teachers' Appreciation Night at the Philadelphia Phillies game. Written by Ava Coleman.

In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible educators may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.

ABC's Abbott Elementary stars Emmy Award winner Quinta Brunson as Janine Teagues, Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Janelle James as Ava Coleman, Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti, William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson, and Emmy Award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard.
