New FX Comedy 'English Teacher' Tackles Modern School Challenges with Wit

Brian Jordan Alvarez stars as a progressive teacher navigating conservative suburbia in this sharp, irreverent series.

The show centers on Evan Marquez, a principled teacher dealing with conservative backlash in an Austin high school.
Created by Alvarez, the series blends traditional sitcom elements with edgy, viral-comedy sensibilities.
'English Teacher' explores hot-button issues like social media's impact on mental health and gun safety in schools.
The series contrasts with 'Abbott Elementary' by presenting a more cynical, yet heartwarming, take on education.
Supporting characters, including a homophobic gym teacher and a domineering PTA mom, add depth and humor to the narrative.
