promises good things are coming for everyone waiting on season 2! ET spoke with the series' stars on the red carpet for the FYC event, where they shared details on the upcoming season and their ideas for future guest stars. Created by and starring Quinta Brunson, the half-hour mockumentary-style series follows a group of dedicated and passionate teachers -- and a slightly tone-deaf principal — at a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though the educators may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don't particularly care for the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.ABC announced that its new hit series had officially been renewed for a second season in March, ahead of the show's midseason premiere. Brunson played coy when it came to sharing too many details on the next installment, but she revealed that viewers would be getting more glimpses into the home lives of their beloved characters. «We'll be going a little bit outside of the school more,» she said, explaining that the series will begin exploring the characters' homes.
