Selome Hailu After three years, the will-they-won’t-they couple of “Abbott Elementary” have gotten as close as ever to finally getting together. Season 3 saw Janine (series creator Quinta Brunson) temporarily step away from Abbott to work at the school district, a career move that gave her the self-confidence she needed to think more seriously about her love life, while the time apart reminded Gregory (Tyler James Williams) why he started falling for her in the first place.
As in seasons past, those feelings came to a head during “Abbott Elementary’s” annual field trip episode, this year titled “Smith Playground” and shot on a replica of a historic park in Philadelphia. Seasons 1 and 2 featured field trip episodes set at the Philadelphia Zoo and the Franklin Institute science museum, the latter of which was shot partially on location in Philly.
But during Season 3, multiple locales brainstormed by the show writers got scrapped for budgetary reasons. So they pivoted to something more “reflective of what goes on” at an under-resourced public school, says writer Brian Rubenstein.
The financial constraints became a part of the script, with Jacob (Chris Perfetti) having the idea to visit the free Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse upon hearing that the school couldn’t fund something more grandiose. “We talked about how all the money was gone for the year,” Rubenstein says, “and when you think about it, kids just want to be outside and play.” That fit well into the real park’s ethos: “We are committed to ensuring that all children — regardless of their race, family income or neighborhood — can become happier, healthier and smarter through play, and that’s why it’s important that we keep admission free,” says Frances D.
