'Abbott Elementary' wins Outstanding Performance in a Comedy Series at 2023 SAG Awards, Fans say 'great show'

During the speech, Brunson made it a priority to acknowledge how much she values her castmates

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ABC's 'Abbott Elementary' seems to be on a roll this year. Previously this year, Quinta Brunson's starring series won three out of the five Golden Globes categories that the series was nominated in. That is not all, at the 2023's Critics' Choice Awards, the ABC series had two nods out of the five categories. Speaking of accolades, the show's first season was nominated for seven Primetime Emmy Awards, winning three. Is it really much of a shocker? We don't think so.

Regardless, the ensemble cast includes Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and William Stanford Davis. The mockumentary sitcom television series is created by Quinta Brunson for ABC. It also stars Brunson as the main character of the series, Janine Teagues, who is a positive second-grade teacher at the poorly funded 'Abbott Elementary,' a fictional predominantly black school in Philadelphia. Furthermore, after the amazing reviews of the second season, the channel renewed for a third season of the mockumentary series earlier this year.
