In March 2022, the workplace comedy ‘Abbott Elementary’ became the most tweeted TV Comedy of this year. It gained more than 1.5 million Twitter posts from the beginning of 2022 to March alone! In an article on our website earlier this year, “The ‘Abbott Elementary’ sitcom is still in its first season and is already proving to be the next ‘it’ show.” I think we can agree that this statement is holding up as Abbott Elementary garnered rave reviews and is coming back for a second season. Not to mention, Quinta Brunson’s Abbott Elementary now has the status of an Emmy Award-winning show. Congrats to Quinta Brunson and Sheryl Lee Ralph of Abbott Elementary for winning at the 2022 Emmys!
