'Abbott Elementary' Cast Teases 'Big Swings' and 'Exciting' Guest Stars for Season 3 (Exclusive)

The cast of ABC's hit comedy chats with ET about season 3's exciting guest stars and surprises, premiering Feb. 7.

The ABC sitcom is set to return on Feb. 7 after months-long delays due to the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes, both unions of which creator and star Quinta Brunson is a member. Chatting with ET's Denny Directo, Brunson, Janelle James and Chris Perfetti admit that returning to work on the highly anticipated season was a treat after marching the picket lines during the strikes. The Emmy winner says she feels like the cast and crew "earned the right to take some big swings" in the new season, adding that she went into production with the goal of wanting to ensure that "people [don't] get too comfortable."
