Janelle James says we'll see new layers to Ava on Abbott Elementary season 4

As a longtime fan of heartwarming comedies that also manage to delve deep into character development, I am thrilled about the return of Abbott Elementary this fall. The series has always been a breath of fresh air, and the hints we’ve received about Principal Ava Coleman’s story in season 4 have me on the edge of my seat.


Starting this autumn, a fresh batch of episodes for “Abbott Elementary” will be aired, and before the debut of the new season, the creative minds and cast came together at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event to share their excitement about the series and give us a sneak peek into what we can expect from “Abbott Elementary” in its fourth season.

Despite the panelists not disclosing much detail, actress Janelle James, who portrays Principal Ava Coleman in Abbott Elementary, expressed her eagerness for what we’ll see about Ava’s story when school resumes. Luckily for fans of the show, we delve deeper into Ava’s tale in season 4’s second episode, revealing more about where Ava is headed this season.

During the Q&A session, James hinted at Ava’s storyline for this year’s season on “Abbott Elementary”. He playfully said, “I find her trajectory intriguing”, and added that we can anticipate exploring more about Ava’s complexities this season. Known for her bold character and dynamic energy on the show, Principal Ava often employs unusual methods to manage the school. And James suggested that the upcoming season will offer a deeper look into Ava’s intricacies.

James commented, “I’ve long believed that Ava isn’t simple; she’s multifaceted. She hasn’t been limited to one character trait since the initial episode, and I think those who are attentive have noticed this. Ava isn’t just about humor. This fall, we might witness more of her softer, emotional aspects. James added that Ava prioritizes the children at Abbott above all, but she has an unconventional approach to achieving their needs.”

I’ve always thought that Ava is complex. I don’t think she’s one-note at all. From the first episode till now, I feel like people who truly watch and are paying attention have seen many sides of Ava already. She’s not just doing jokes.

James emphasized that Ava excels at completing tasks in her unique style and enjoys a strong connection with students. He stated, “She’s quite effective in finding ways to make things happen, even though they might not be conventional.” Additionally, he noted that Ava recognizes the importance of deviating from traditional methods to achieve results, as he pointed out that if Ava adhered to typical expectations, “nothing would get accomplished.”

Anticipating that we’ll uncover a wealth of information about Ava Coleman in season 4, I can’t wait to witness her navigate fresh challenges within the series. Tune in for the premiere of Abbott Elementary on ABC this Wednesday, October 9, or stream it the following day! Don’t miss out on seasons 1-3; catch up now on Disney+ and Hulu!
