ABC loves learning the ABCs from Abbott Elementary so much that they picked it up for a fifth season today.
The sitcom is the network’s most buzzed show, after 9-1-1, and one of the few that get Emmy nominations, so it makes sense.
Plus, it is getting help in the ratings from the premiere of Tim Allen’s Shifting Gears and the crossover event episode with the cast of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
UPDATE: ABC was in a good mood today because they also picked up High Potential for a second season. The police procedural, which stars Kaitlin Olson, has been doing great since its premiere. Therefore, this decision makes a lot of sense.
