‘Abbott Elementary’ Cast and Crew Talk Gregory’s Pivotal ‘Mother’s Day’ Episode and Why Quinta Brunson Loves a Drunk Barbara


At an Emmy FYC event, the "Abbott Elementary" cast and crew discussed their successes leading up to the show's fourth season.

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. 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. Brunson did reveal that Gregory’s on-set garden is very real and grows fruits and vegetables that the crew takes home (thanks to Randall Einhorn), including watermelons, cilantro, and lots of kale.
