Jack Dunn Over its three seasons, “Abbott Elementary” has won four Emmy Awards and landed 20 nominations, with nine of those nods coming from the upcoming 2024 ceremony on September 15.
According to series star Chris Perfetti, much of the ABC sitcom’s success is due to the “very specific and very real” cast of characters developed by “Abbott Elementary” creator, actress and writer Quinta Brunson. “The mockumentary lets us rest on investing in the real lives of these people.
I think if [the characters] were more caricatures, it’s just not a sustainable thing.” Perfetti said. “I felt like Quinta was writing jokes for herself and that is a quality that I’m very attracted to.
It felt so real and so smart, and so Quinta has done a lot of the legwork there.” At an Emmy FYC event Friday night at the Paramount Theater in Los Angeles, the “Abbott Elementary” cast and crew including Tyler James Williams, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, William Stanford Davis, Patrick Schumacker, Justin Halpem, Randall Einhorn and Brunson and Perfetti sat down with Variety senior awards editor Clayton Davis to discuss all their success leading up to the show’s hotly anticipated fourth season. “Abbott Elementary” follows a group of dedicated educators at an underfunded Philadelphia public school who defy all odds to help their students succeed.
