Summer is officially over, which thankfully means school will be back in session soon. And by school, we mean Abbott Elementary, of course!

As Quinta Brunson’s Emmy-winning workplace comedy approaches its fifth season, its charm, performances, and humor are still top of the class! And from the looks of Decider’s exclusive Season 5 promo (featured at the top of this article), Janine (Brunson), Gregory (Tyler James Williams), Barbara (Sheryl Lee Ralph), Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter), Jacob (Chris Perfetti), Ava (Janelle James), and Mr. Johnson (William Stanford Davis) are in for another wild school year — like, someone falls from the ceiling kind of wild! And we also know a Philly sports episode is in store! So as Melissa says, “It’s gonna be a good year.”

As with every season of Abbott Elementary, we’re expecting another impressive guest roster this school year. While surprise celebs, athletes, and Philly icons are sure to pop up throughout the season, ahead of Season 5 we do know one exciting star who’s joining the cast: Luke Tennie!

How To Watch Abbott Elementary Live On ABC:

Want to watch The Golden Bachelor‘s Season 2 premiere live? If you have a cable subscription that includes ABC, you can tune in live by setting your TV to the proper channel a few minutes before the episode airs. You can also use your cable username and password to watch ABC episodes live on ABC.com or with the ABC app. And if your cable package includes a DVR, you can always record the finale live for later viewing.

No cable? No worries! There are other live viewing options, like live TV skinny bundles, which give you access to networks without cable. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and fuboTV, all come with ABC. But if you don’t have cable or a live TV skinny bundle, you can stream the Golden Bachelor premiere the following day on Hulu.
