ABC Orders ‘Harrity Elementary’ Comedy Pilot From Quinta Brunson, Justin Halpern & Patrick Schumacker

ABC has handed its latest pilot to Quinta Brunson’s workplace comedy Harrity Elementary. The single-camera project scored a put pilot commitment in September and now will aim to film a pilot over the next few months.

Created by, starring and exec produced by A Black Lady Sketch Show star Brunson, Harrity Elementary follows a group of teachers brought together in one of the worst public schools in the country simply because they love teaching. They will rely on one another to make it through the day and find a way to counteract the school district’s bullsh*t attitude toward educating children.
