Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson Details Plans For Season 2

Quinta shared that she “didn’t expect” to book stars like Zack and Orlando, who audiences loved, adding, “I think that’s the beauty of writing really strong characters is that really strong, new and exciting actors will come.”

The actress understands that she wouldn’t be where she is today were it not for the support of educators. That’s why she recently teamed up with Box Tops for Education to raise money for teachers across the country. “Box Tops was such a big part of my childhood,” she shared. “So when this opportunity came about to get involved with them, I really jumped at the chance.”

She also gave a shoutout to the people who inspire her day in and day out, saying, “I have so many friends who are teachers right now and it’s not easy, but I just think they’re doing incredible jobs.”
