Why Isn’t Abbott Elementary Season 5 on Tonight?
The reason for the temporary hiatus is simple: Abbott Elementary is taking a short break for a few weeks. ABC’s decision to pause new episodes for a few weeks is likely due to a combination of scheduling conflicts with other programming and giving the crew some time to recharge before the next batch of episodes airs.
So, if you're wondering why Abbott Elementary isn’t on tonight, don’t worry it's not gone for good. The break just happens to coincide with the fall holiday season, so Abbott Elementary will return after Thanksgiving, right when we’re all ready to settle back into our weekly TV routines.
