TheBear star Ayo Edebiri is enrolling at AbbottElementary for a recurring role.
The new school year is in full swing, and Abbott Elementary is welcoming a new member into its ranks. According to Entertainment Weekly, The Bear star Ayo Edebiri is joining the current second season in a recurring role. Edebiri will play Ayesha, Janine's sister. She will be introduced in this week's Valentine's Day episode.
Throughout the show's run thus far, Janine has occasionally mentioned Ayesha, though she divulged little about her sister. From what Janine has shared, viewers know that she has a bit of a taut relationship with Ayesha, who lives quite far away. Ayesha also has a strenuous relationship with her mother that places additional stress on Janine's shoulders whose relationship with their mother is also strained.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY A new clip debuted by EW in the same article gives a sneak peek at what to expect from Ayesha and Janine. And, thanks to their awkward FaceTime call, it seems the kryptonite to Janine's ever-present optimism is her sister. She calls to wish Ayesha happy birthday, but neither seems thrilled to be talking with the other. Jacob joins in but is confused about their dynamic.
Abbott Elementary Has Been a Resounding Success Since the show's debut in 2021, it has become a comedy darling with critics and general audiences alike, quickly garnering praise early in its first season. Prior to Season 2's premiere, ABC expanded the show's episode count from 13 to 22. Thus far, Season 2 has continued to build upon the show's success, surpassing Season 1 in viewership.
New episodes of Abbott Elementary air Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC, streaming the next day on Hulu. Season 1 is currently available on Hulu and HBO Max. You can watch a behind-the-scenes featurette from Season 2 down below.
