‘Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson Teases Changes for Janine & Gregory in Season 5

Abbott Elementary‘s fifth season is looming on the horizon, and while viewers may have to wait until October for the premiere episode’s arrival, star and series creator Quinta Brunson recently revealed some insights about its fan-favorite couple, Janine (Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams).

In an interview with Variety, Brunson addressed the romance, which has played a central role in the show’s story since Season 1, and it appears some big changes are on the way.

As viewers will recall, Season 4 kicked off with Gregory and Janine finally being a full-on couple, and although they tried hiding their relationship from their colleagues Ava (Janelle James), Barbara (Sheryl Lee Ralph), Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter), and Mr. Johnson (William Stanford Davis), it was plain to see that the pair were in love. Of course, pal Jacob (Chris Perfetti) was in on knowing Janine and Gregory were a couple before the rest of the Abbott team, but it wasn’t long before they dropped the ruse and leaned into their steady romance.
