Well, we finally know when the next episode is coming out. ABC has confirmed that Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 7 will air on December 3, 2025. The episode is going to bring yet another exciting adventure for the teachers.


The release date of Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 7

Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 7 will be broadcast on ABC on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at the usual time of 8:30 PM ET / PT. This will end a four-week-long wait for the audience. After releasing the first six episodes on consecutive Wednesdays, the season went on a hiatus on November 5, 2025.

New episodes of the series are made available on Hulu a day after their television release, i.e., on Thursdays. To stream the show, you will need to subscribe to Hulu. You can either choose an ad-supported plan, which costs $11.99 per month, or an ad-free plan, which costs $18.99 per month.


What to expect from Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 7?

A new member is going to join Gregory's Garden Goofballs in the upcoming episode. As always, it will create chaos and ensure a laugh riot for the audience. At the same time, Janine is going to pitch a new club idea.

In Episode 5, Camping, we saw Janine tell Gregory that she wanted her own club at the school. It looks like she has finally come up with a plan for it. The logline for the episode, titled Goofgirl, reads;

“A new member joins Gregory's Garden Goofballs; Janine pitches a new club idea to Ava.”

Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 7 is expected to feature all the main cast members. These include Quinta Brunson as Janine Teagues, Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Janelle James as Ava Coleman, Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard, Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson, and Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti. The synopsis of the overall series reads:

“In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life.”
