School’s almost back in session for Abbott Elementary as the ABC comedy prepares for Season 2 and the Emmy-winning fan-favorite will welcome some famous faces.

Hamilton‘s Leslie Odom Jr., Euphoria‘s Lauren Weedman, and Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s Keyla Monterroso Mejia are officially boarding the show in guest-starring roles. They’ll play a part in the continued story of Abbott’s teachers who are still dedicated to their students and school despite the odds stacked against them.

Among the characters that fans can anticipate is Odom Jr.’s Draemond, he is the owner of a string of charter schools in the area who pays a visit to Abbott. Meanwhile, comedian, actress, and playwright Weedman will feature as Kristin Marie, a tough-talking teacher from a neighboring school who bears a striking resemblance to one of Abbott’s own.

And Mejia has been cast as Ashley, a teacher’s aide at Abbott whose go-with-the-flow attitude will contribute to classroom chaos. Together, they’ll be woven into Abbott’s world set in the Philadelphia public school system.
