Quinta Brunson Eyes New Horizons After Calling 'Abbott Elementary' 'Time-Consuming'
QUINTA BRUNSON SPEAKS OUT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF ABBOTT ELEMENTARY AND HER OWN PERSONAL LIFE
In a juicy interview with TheScholarlyNote.com, Quinta Brunson, the star and creator of the hit Emmy-winning show Abbott Elementary, gave us a glimpse into her thoughts on the future of the beloved series. And let's just say it's not all good news for fans who are still hooked on Janine Teagues' sassy attitude.
While the show has been renewed for a new season, with Brunson and the rest of the cast set to return, she hinted that there may be more to her decision than just a desire to keep playing her iconic character. "We're so fortunate and blessed to be on a network TV show for five seasons," she said, "but I have to admit, it's been a time-consuming process."
And by time-consuming, Brunson means that the grueling seven-month filming schedule has left her and other cast members with little time or energy to take on other projects. It's like she's trapped in a never-ending cycle of TV magic, unable to break free from the demands of playing Janine.
But don't worry, fans! Brunson is still grateful for the devoted fanbase that keeps the show thriving. "I'm thankful that we have such an amazing group of people who support us and want to see more," she said, her voice filled with genuine appreciation.
However, when asked if Season 5 would be the last for Abbott Elementary, Brunson didn't quite confirm or deny it. Instead, she dropped a bombshell: "I'm actually looking forward to exploring other projects that I can act in." It seems that Brunson is ready to trade in her teacher's hat for something new and exciting.
And what does she have in store for us next? Well, according to Brunson, she's been receiving scripts left and right, but she's waiting for that one special project that will make her heart skip a beat. "I'm looking for something that feels like it was written specifically for me," she revealed. "Something that makes me go, 'Oh man, this is exactly what I've been looking for'."
But before we get too excited about Brunson's future projects, let's take a step back and talk about her personal life. Remember when news broke out about her divorce from Kevin Anik in March? Yeah, about that... Brunson had some choice words to share with TheScholarlyNote.com.
"I didn't announce anything," she said, referring to the rumors that swirled around her split from Anik. "People always think that celebrities want to share every detail of their personal lives with the world. But let me tell you, we don't. We just want to live our lives without everyone knowing our business."
Brunson went on to explain how she thinks people often misunderstand what it means to be in the public eye. "We're not asking for attention or fame; we're just trying to navigate life like anyone else," she said. "And sometimes, that means keeping certain things private – even if they are public record information."
So there you have it, folks! Quinta Brunson is ready to take on new challenges and move beyond Abbott Elementary. But don't worry, fans; we'll always cherish the memories of Janine Teagues' sassiness.
