Overview

  • New episodes air Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. CT on ABC and stream on Hulu the following day.
  • Episode 3 was filmed at Citizens Bank Park during a Phillies game, which showrunners called their toughest logistical shoot to date.
  • The season introduces a new teacher, Dominic, played by Luke Tennie, and resets dynamics with Melissa moving to teach middle school.
  • A trailer teases larger classroom pressures for Janine, including being assigned 40 students due to class consolidations.
  • The first five episodes are scheduled weekly through Oct. 29, and international availability varies, with Disney+ carrying the show outside the U.S. on a delayed window.
