Sadly, all good things must eventually come to an end, and it seems like the beloved Abbott Elementary might be approaching its final chapter. According to the show's creator, Quinta Brunson, the Emmy Award-winning series may soon be bidding farewell.
In a recent interview with Bustle, the Golden Globe winner shared her thoughts on the future of the show and her role as the lovable second-grade teacher, Janine Teagues. Brunson expressed her excitement to move on from the show, highlighting the demanding nature of filming and the desire of her castmates to explore other projects.
"We've been incredibly lucky to have been on a network TV show for five successful seasons, and for our fans to still be so supportive," Brunson shared. "But at the same time, I have fellow cast members who are eager to pursue other opportunities, and the show's production schedule can be quite demanding. We film for about seven months out of the year, which can limit our ability to take on other projects."
With her sights set on new ventures, Brunson is currently reviewing scripts and waiting for the perfect TV show or film to cross her path. "I'm actively seeking out new projects and waiting for that 'aha' moment when I find something that truly speaks to me," she said. "My experience on 'Abbott' has been incredible, and I want to use that success to help lift up and support other people's projects as well."
As a Philadelphia native, Brunson also hopes to expand her range as an actress and avoid being typecast in similar warm, teacher-like roles to her character on Abbott Elementary. "I'm always interested in challenging myself and playing against type," she explained. "I think that's every actor's dream. Right now, people may see me as 'Janine' or 'the teacher', but I'm looking forward to breaking away from that and exploring new characters and stories."
Of course, the thought of Abbott Elementary coming to an end has stirred up mixed emotions from fans. While many are understanding of the cast's desire to move on, others are not quite ready to say goodbye to the beloved show. "Girl, y'all can't just drop new seasons every month, you gotta slow down! But please, don't stop," one fan wrote. Another added, "I'll miss them, but I respect their decision to leave on a high note."
In related news, it was recently announced that Taraji P. Henson will be making a guest appearance on Abbott Elementary, adding to the excitement and anticipation for the show's final season.
