Why there’s no new Abbott Elementary this week (November 27) and when season 4, episode 7 will be released

Sorry, Abbott Elementary fans — ABC won’t be airing a new Season 4 episode on Wednesday, November 27, but the wait for the next one won’t be too long. Quinta Brunson’s mockumentary sitcom, which follows the lives of a group of teachers at Willard R. Abbott Elementary School in Philadelphia, has been a hit (with both critics and audiences) since its premiere in December 2021. Hence, it is understandable why there is such a demand for more Abbott Elementary episodes, making the lack of one on November 27th frustrating. Happily, the next Abbott Elementary The episodes are coming.

So far, Abbott Elementary Season 4 was quite memorable, especially because it’s the first season where Janine and Gregory are a real couple. Viewers had long hoped for them to get together, which happened when Janine and Gregory kissed at the end of Abbott Elementary season 3. Elsewhere in season 4, the teachers are dealing with the construction of a nearby golf course, Melissa has a new pet, Gregory almost got into a fight with the father of one of the students, and more. However, Abbott Elementary season 4 is just beginning as it will contain 22 episodes.

Why There’s No New Episode of Abbott Elementary Tonight (November 27, 2024)

Abbott Elementary Season 4 is on brief hiatus

As mentioned above, ABC will not premiere the next episode of Abbott Elementary Season 4 tonight, November 27th. Episode 6, ‘The Deli,’ premiered two weeks ago on November 13, and since then, the mockumentary comedy has been on hiatus. Network TV shows often take breaks, especially around the holidays, so production can keep up with the release schedule. More, many TV series take off Thanksgiving week (Thursday, November 28), and Abbott Elementary season 4 is apparently doing the same.

Instead of a new episode of Abbott Elementary, ABC is on the air The Untold Story of Mary Poppins: A 20/20 Special Edition on Wednesday, November 27th at 9pm ET. The two-hour special will reveal “surprising insights and explorations [Mary Poppins’] impact on pop culture and storytelling.” The Untold Story of Mary Poppins: A 20/20 Special Edition not exactly the perfect replacement for Abbott Elementarybut fans won’t have to wait long for new season 4 episodes.

The wait for the next episode is short

Abbott Elementary Season 4, Episode 7, ‘Winter Show,’ airs a week later on November 27th – on Wednesday, December 4th at 8pm ET on ABC. So fans only have to wait seven days for more of Quinta Brunson’s mockumentary series. The other good news is what Abbott Elementary season 4, episode 8, “Winter Break,” will premiere shortly after episode 7.

Viewers will receive double the amount of Abbott Elementary Season 4 in one night. Episode 7, “Winter Show,” airs at 8 pm ET on Wednesday, December 4, while episode 8, “Winter Break,” airs at 8:30 pm ET.

The comedy series will return with season 4, episode 9, a month later on January 8, 2025.
