Abbott Elementary is the mockumentary-style TV show that’s taking the world by storm right now. It’s continually being compared to The Office, which is a huge honor.
The Office went on for nine successful seasons, and it’s possible that Abbott Elementary will follow and its footsteps. The cast of the show is what makes it so great since they play off of each other‘s energy so well. Here’s what else you recognize the stars from.
Quinta Brunson
Quinta Brunson plays Janine in Abbott Elementary. You probably also recognize her from A Black Lady Sketch Show, Quinta v Everything, and her time filming social media content for BuzzFeed. She was one of the most recognizable faces from BuzzFeed‘s brand.
Sheryl Lee Ralph
Sheryl Lee Ralph plays the role of Barbara in Abbott Elementary. Barbara happens to be one of the most seasoned teachers in her field. Some of Sheryl’s other major roles include Moesha, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, Instant Mom, and Christmas at Holly Lodge.
Tyler James Williams
