Shortly after Quinta Brunson learned she received multiple Emmy nominations, Abbott Elementary was hit with a copyright-infringement lawsuit, according to Variety. Despite the lawsuit, Brunson appears unbothered and ready to start filming the second season of the hit show.

Both Brunson and ABC were named in the lawsuit by writer and performer Christine Davis, who alleges that Abbott Elementary ripped off a TV script titled This School Year that she wrote in 2018. According to the lawsuit, Davis’ show, set in New York City, was about an underfunded public school with a young, enthusiastic teacher advocating for improvements. Davis said that Brunson’s show copied the “look and feel of the inner-city school, the mockumentary style, unique plot synopsis, set design, and unique characters,” of her show, Variety reports.

According to the lawsuit, Davis filed for copyright of the script in March 2020 before allegedly giving it to Cherisse Parks and Shavon Sullivan Wright, both producers at Blue Park Productions, in July 2020.

According to Variety, Parks and Wright don’t have any connections to ABC or Abbott Elementary. But Davis said she believes that Parks and Wright took the script to Hulu, which in addition to ABC is majority-owned by Disney, and they passed on it.

In Sept. 2020, filming on Brunson’s show began. The lawsuit is asking Brunson and ABC to “turn over all profits they made from the show.”

Brunson appears to be unbothered by the accusations. She took to Twitter with an exciting announcement about Abbott Elementary‘s second season.

“First day of production for Abbott Elementary season 2,” she tweeted with emoji.

Fans of the show were thrilled to hear that production of the new season is underway.

“Not me still trying to sneak in as a grown 3rd grader,” one viewer tweeted.

“Yesssssssssssssssss!!!!!” another added with a GIF.

One user asked about the lawsuit, fearing it may compromise the production of the show.

“What about the lawsuit that was announced??? I’m genuinely scared. I don’t want y’all to end anytime soon,” they wrote.

Both ABC and Brunson have yet to officially comment on the lawsuit.
