‘English Teacher’ Season 2 Release Date and Where to Watch
Class officially starts on Thursday, September 25 at 9pm ET/PT, with a three-episode premiere on FX. Episodes are also added to Hulu’s streaming library the day after they air on FX.
What Is ‘English Teacher’ About?
At its heart, the show follows Evan Marquez, a high school English teacher with a knack for turning everyday faculty problems into spectacular messes. Created and led by Brian Jordan Alvarez, the series balances teacher drama, modern culture clashes and awkward romance with razor-sharp humor. Think less “Dead Poets Society” and more “Dead Wi-Fi Society.”
What Happened in ‘English Teacher’ Season 1
Season 1 threw Evan into the spotlight when a parent complaint about his personal life spiraled into a full-blown school controversy. From there, he juggled powderpuff football games, drag performances, safety drills, field trips and one painfully awkward surprise birthday party. It was a crash course in surviving high school politics as a grown adult.
‘English Teacher’ Season 2 Cast
- Brian Jordan Alvarez plays Evan Marquez, the teacher who always means well, even if things don’t always go well.
- Stephanie Koenig as Gwen Sanders, Evan’s best friend and the school’s peppy History teacher.
- Sean Patton as Markie Hillridge, gym teacher and lovable chaos engine.
- Enrico Colantoni as Principal Grant Moretti, holding the school together with duct tape and coffee.
- Carmen Christopher as Rick Santana, the guidance counselor who might need some guidance himself.
- Jordan Firstman as Malcolm, Evan’s boyfriend who’s constantly roped into school drama he never signed up for.
What to Expect from ‘English Teacher’ Season 2
Season 2 takes Evan and Morrison-Hensley High to even messier, funnier and more chaotic places. Expect topical satire that tackles everything from COVID and climate change to military recruiters and cellphone bans. Evan’s relationship with Malcolm faces new strain as his crusades at school start spilling into his personal life, while colleagues like Gwen, Rick and Principal Moretti get bigger storylines of their own. The result? A semester that’s louder, weirder and even more personal than before.
