Abbott Elementary’s Sheryl Lee Ralph Teases Major Celeb Cameos in Season 4 Finale – E! Online
SAG Awards 2025: Jodie Foster’s 26-Year-Old Son Charlie Makes Rare Appearance as Her Date
Sheryl Lee Ralph is teasing some Abbott Elementary substitutes.
At the SAG Awards 2025 red carpet Feb. 23, the actress, who plays veteran elementary school teacher Barbara Howard in the beloved ABC series, shared insight into what to expect for the forthcoming season four finale.
“One or two of your favorite all-time singers,” Sheryl told E! News’ Will Marfuggi on the SAG Awards red carpet outside Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, before cryptically adding, “We all have a favorite city—they’re gonna be there.”
Of course, Sheryl may have been teasing the location change for the finale, which Janelle James, who plays Principal Ava Coleman on the series, later confirmed, telling E!, “We usually shoot in L.A. and we’re shooting in Philly.”
And Janelle referenced her excitement for shooting in the Pennsylvania city shortly after the Super Bowl LIX, which saw the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Of course, the Eagles are also part of the Abbott family, as quarterback Jalen Hurts, defensive end Brandon Graham and former Eagles center Jason Kelce made an appearance during the show’s third season premiere.
