“Abbott Elementary” star, showrunner and creator Quinta Brunson is looking forward to her next big project.
During a recent interview with Bustle, the Emmy-winner explained that she is “looking forward to moving away” from her role as elementary school teacher Janine Teagues. She added that she knows several cast members who would also “love” to expand to other roles.
“We are so fortunate and blessed to be on a network TV show for five seasons, and for people to still be fans,” Brunson explained. “That being said, I have cast members who would love to pursue other projects, and our show is very time-consuming. We shoot about seven months out of the year. That can stop people from being able to do a lot of other things.”
Brunson said that she is currently parsing through scripts to see what might come next, but is still waiting for the perfect TV show or movie to cross her desk.
“Right now, I’m receiving scripts, and waiting for that moment that feels like, ‘Oh man, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for,’” she said. “’Abbott’ has been so successful, and I want to use that success to get other people’s projects off the ground.”

One show is a blessing another TV is a miracle. LOLO
A new show would come after her divorce and her ex would not see again proceeds from it. Hopefully she has an excellent prenup.
Oh I didn't know she was getting a divorce. Is it worth marring these days if your a woman with your success?
Good luck to her. Hope she creates more shows as good as Abbott Elementary.
I just saw his picture. Yuck.. She could do much better.
Well, it had a good run. Better to end on top instead of being dropped.
