Forgive me, Abbott Elementary fans. It’s once again time for me to say everyone’s least favorite words: No school.

If fans of Quinta Brunson’s Emmy-winning comedy turn on ABC in hopes of catching a new episode of Abbott Elementary live this week or head to Hulu for next-day streaming, they’ll be disappointed to learn that the beloved series is on break.

We’ve been burned by lengthy hiatuses before. So how long do we have to wait to reunite with Barbara (Sheryl Lee Ralph), Jacob (Chris Perfetti), Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter), Ava (Janelle James), Janine (Quinta Brunson), Gregory (Tyler James Williams), and Mr. Johnson (William Stanford Davis) this time?

Want to know when Abbott Elementary returns with new episodes on ABC? How many episodes are in Abbott Elementary Season 4? Or what to expect when the series returns with Season 2, Episode 15? We’ve got you covered.

Here’s everything to know about Abbott Elementary’s return date, upcoming Season 4 episodes, and more.

Abbott Elementary has left us for long periods of time before, but fear not! This time, the beloved series is only taking a week off! Abbott will be back with another new episode on Wednesday, February 26.

Here’s what to know about Abbott Elementary Season 4’s upcoming episodes:

If you’re wondering what’s on in Abbott Elementary‘s place on Wednesday, February 19, ABC’s schedule shows two episodes of Shifting Gears airing at 8:00 p.m. ET and 8:30 p.m. ET.

As a result of delays and shifted schedules from the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Abbott Elementary Season 3 was an abbreviated 14-episode season, but fans will be happy to know that Season 4 is returning to the 22-episode model.

Want to watch Abbott Elementary Season 4 episodes live? Of course you do! If you have a cable subscription that includes ABC, you can watch Abbott Elementary live by setting your TV to the proper channel a few minutes before new episodes air. You can also use your cable username and password to watch live ABC episodes live on ABC.com or with the ABC app. And if your cable package includes a DVR, you can always record live episodes for later viewing.

Don’t have cable? Don’t worry! There are other live viewing options, like live TV skinny bundles, which give you access to networks without cable. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and fuboTV, all come with ABC. But if you don’t have cable or a live TV skinny bundle, you can stream episodes the following day on Hulu. Here’s how to watch Abbott Elementary online.
