“Abbott Elementary” is having a major breakout moment, and its success continues with each and every episode that premieres. The workplace sitcom — which stars Quinta Brunson, Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lisa Ann Walter, and William Stanford Davis — set a new record last month when Deadline reported that the show’s debut topped ABC’s numbers as the first comedy premiere to quadruple ratings from its original air date. On Feb. 23, the critically-acclaimed series outdid itself again by achieving ABC’s strongest comedy telecast for its second episode.
According to Deadline, episode two of the sitcom — which premiered on Jan. 4 — accrued “9 million total viewers and a 2.93 rating in adults 18-49 after 35 days of viewing across linear and digital platforms.” This marks the first time ABC has seen numbers this high since “Modern Family”‘s series finale in 2020.
