Season 4 of the acclaimed mockumentary Abbott Elementary has begun It's not guest stars (well, there will be some), it's not gregnin (although there will be plenty of that too), it's gentrification

“Abbott Elementary” Season 4 airs Wednesdays on ABC in the US and Global TV in Canada

From King Sessing to Parkside, Fair Hill to East Germantown, the tapestry of West Philadelphia is undergoing major changes, and the steady creep of rising costs and the displacement of black, brown, and working-class whites will be on screen during Season 4 (22 episodes) depicted

Also teased are Halloween and Christmas episodes, but most exciting is the prospect of a crossover with “It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” a combination of ABC's family comedy and FXX's long-lived nihilistic sitcom that seems odd Maybe, but Abbott star Jesse Tyler Williams told TV Insider, “It's really crazy how well this combination works

And then, of course, there's the elephant in the room Janine and Gregory could ride off into the West Philly sunset on this kaleidoscopic, multicolored, stunning patchwork elephant if they only had the courage to reach out and pet it
