The second season of Abbott Elementary premieres today! As a massive fan of the first season, getting to speak with the cast was an honor.

Emmy winner Sheryl Lee Ralph and Lisa Ann Walter return as Barbara Howard and Melissa Schemmenti, respectively, for the new season of Abbott Elementary. During a roundtable discussion, the pair shared their reaction to seeing how much the show was loved and adored. They also shared one piece of advice they would give to their younger selves while they were in school.

Lastly, they teased what their character’s arcs would be like during the new season.

The official synopsis for Abbott Elementary

In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible educators may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don’t love the school district’s less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.

The new season of Abbott Elementary premieres on Wednesday, September 21, at 9 PM ET on ABC.
