The star and creator of a beloved Emmy-winning show is already looking forward to life beyond the show.
The series has already been renewed for a new season, with the star/creator and the rest of the cast all slated to return.
Still, the actress/writer has hinted that both she and others in the cast are looking forward to other things.
She called the show 'very time-consuming' - since each season takes about seven months to film and can prevent her and others from taking on other projects.
The multi-hyphenate is still grateful to have the fanbase in place to support the show continuing, she's clearly considering how the show may end already.
Who is this actress, writer and producer? It's none other than Quinta Brunson of ABC's Abbot Elementary, who spoke about the future of the show with Bustle .
'We are so fortunate and blessed to be on a network TV show for five seasons, and for people to still be fans,' Brunson admitted.
'That being said, I have cast members who would love to pursue other projects, and our show is very time-consuming,' she added.
'We shoot about seven months out of the year. That can stop people from being able to do a lot of other things,' Brunson admitted.
The actress/writer wouldn't confirm whether or not Season 5 would be the last for Abbott Elementary, though she is looking ahead for projects she can only act in.
'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,"' Brunson admits.
'Abbott has been so successful, and I want to use that success to get other people's projects off the ground,' she admitted.
When asked if there is anything specific she's looking for after Abbott, she said, 'I’m always interested in playing against type. I think that’s any actor’s dream.'
'Right now my type is ‘Janine’ and ‘teacher.’ I’m looking forward to moving away from that a little bit,' she admitted.
She also opened up about her divorce from Kevin Anik, which she filed for in March due to 'irreconcilable differences.'
'I remember seeing people be like, "She announced her divorce." I didn’t announce anything,' Brunson admitted.
'I think people have this idea that people in the public eye want the public to know their every move. None of us do. I promise you,' she said.
'No one wants [everyone] to know when you buy a house, when you move, when a major change happens in your personal life. It’s just that that’s public record information,' she said.
