‘Abbott Elementary’s Janelle James On Principal Ava’s Evolution Through Three Seasons And Where She’ll Go In Season 4


'Abbott Elementary''s Janelle James on principal Ava's evolution through three seasons and working with Quinta Brunson for Season 4.

Janelle James, who plays the self-involved yet surprisingly dedicated principal Ava Coleman in Quinta Brunson ’s Abbott Elementary, knows that the show faces a distinct challenge as a network sitcom that consistently sheds light on the concerns plaguing low-income schools. It has to be funny, of course, and family friendly too, without distracting from the social issues it addresses on a near episodic basis, such as constant funding problems, the home lives of the kids, and even recreational drug use. DEADLINE: How do you think Ava will react to Janine and Gregory, if that kiss prompts them to finally get together in Season 4?
