As noted under “IN DEVELOPMENT,” Quinta Brunson has just signed a deal with Disney. But interestingly, the deal might also give a hint as to how long Abbott Elementary will continue. According to this ScreenRant piece, it notes that she has an eight-year acting deal for Abbott Elementary. This fall will see the premiere of season six on ABC, so it’s sounding like the series might run through season eight.
Now, this piece also notes that this is only an acting deal associated with Brunson — she has agreed to continue on as a producer for the duration of the series. So theoretically, she could leave the series as an actor, and the show could continue without Janine. But that seems highly unlikely.

We all needed this World Cup international sleepover more than anyone realized.

President Appeaser is SO MAD the media is accurately reporting on his very bad deal with Iran.
I’m very glad Lil Nas is doing better. Stay healthy!
