Abbott Elementary is back in session, and the students aren’t the only ones showing up. The Season 4 premiere saw a massive surge in viewership after seven days of multiplatform viewing, racking up 6.19 million total viewers and a 2.17 rating in adults 18-49. That’s a significant jump from the initial live + same-day numbers, with a 191% increase in total viewers and a staggering 486% boost in the adult demographic.
This impressive performance marks the show’s best multiplatform showing in adults 18-49 since the post-Oscars episode, proving that Quinta Brunson’s workplace comedy continues to resonate with audiences. The premiere also outperformed the Season 3 finale in adults 18-49, indicating that the summer hiatus only fueled anticipation for the show’s return.
As for what’s next, the upcoming episode finds Janine tackling classroom pets and Melissa resisting the added responsibility. Add in a new IT guy, and it sounds like another lesson in the hilarious chaos of Abbott Elementary.
