Janine (played by Quinta Brunson) is still doing her level best for the pupils despite the woeful leadership of principal Ava Coleman (Janelle James) and being in the amorous crosshairs of Gregory Eddie (Tyler James Williams).

She can count on the assistance of Mr Hill (Chris Perfetti), an eighth-grade history teacher who still shares some of her evangelical zeal, but it is hard work when the system is weighted against you.

The Office-style format helps to underline the serious point at the heart of this entertaining show - you sometimes find yourself forgetting that it is all scripted - but it still works on any number of levels (look out for a cameo from Rob McElhenney).

Below we have all the information on where to watch Abbott Elementary season 4 online from anywhere and potentially for FREE.
