Season 6 arrives five months after the end of the show\u2019s fifth season, and five years after Abbott debuted in December 2021. The show has been nominated for 37 Emmys so far during its run, having won four. In 2026, it earned seven Emmy nods<\/a>, including Outstanding Comedy Series.<\/p>\n

Speaking with PEOPLE about her own Emmy nomination<\/a> this year, James, 47, attributed much of the show\u2019s (and her character\u2019s) success to the writing.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The writers] have had her evolve in such interesting ways, and then brought in some of her life outside the school in interesting ways while still keeping her personality the same at its core, which I think is hard. And it\u2019s been lovely,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She also teased what she wants next for Ava. \u201cI wanna see more backstory about her family and who she is and how she became who she is,\u201d James said. \u201cI know her relationship with O\u2019Shon is going to continue to grow. I think their moments are really sweet. I\u2019m into that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abbott Elementary returns for a new season on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The first five seasons are currently available to stream on Hulu.<\/p>\n
