Class is in session for season five of Abbott Elementary on ABC.

The network has ordered a fifth season of Abbott, the Emmy-winning comedy from creator and star Quinta Brunson. The renewal comes midway through the show’s fourth season, and on the heels of the show’s most-watched episode of the current season.

"Abbott Elementary" is currently airing its fourth season Wednesdays on ABC, with new episodes streaming on Hulu the next day.

A new episode of “Abbott Elementary” season 4 will air on Wednesday, Jan. 22. The new episode will air at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC. Those without cable can watch the show for free through FuboTV or DirecTV Stream each offering a free trial to new users. Sling is another option for streaming the show, and promotional offers are available.
