Season two of ‘Abbott Elementary’ is going to have “some good old-fashioned ‘Friends’-type fun,” according to QuintaBrunson: “We’ve shown people what we can do.”
That’s where the emotional parts came. I was texting with Tyler while it’s happening, and he’s saying congratulations to me and he’s like, “Oh, my God, Sheryl and Janelle got it too.” And we’re just raving about that. He didn’t even know that he had been nominated, and I texted him like, “Tyler, you’re Emmy-nominated!” He was over the moon. Tyler’s done such good work for years and asks for nothing in return.
I’m especially proud of episode 108 because we do a lot in the episode, and one of my favorite things we got to do was introduce that Jacob’s character was gay without making it a coming-out story. That was really important to me. There are so many queer people in my life, and I think that’s a true sign of change. As more people my age come into these spaces, I don’t need these characters to do coming-out stories. They are queer. They’ve been queer since years ago. They’re just here.
