FX will head back to class with English Teacher.
The Disney-owned cable outlet has ordered a second season of English Teacher, a comedy created by and starring Brian Jordan Alvarez. The Austin-set series follows the professional and personal life of Alvarez’s title character. Season two is set to debut later this year.
“English Teacher was one of the most critically acclaimed new shows of 2024 and we are grateful to the producers, writers, cast, directors and crew for the show’s creative excellence,” FX Entertainment president Nick Grad said in a statement. “We look forward to the new season.”

Along with Alvarez, the show also stars Stephanie Koenig, Enrico Colantoni, Sean Patton and Carmen Christopher. Alvarez executive produces with Paul Simms, Jonathan Krisel, Dave King, Kathryn Dean, Jake Bender and Zach Dunn. The show comes from FX Productions.
The renewal for English Teacher comes about two months after allegations of sexual assault against Alvarez by Jon Ebeling, who worked with Alvarez on a web series titled The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo in the mid-2010s. As detailed in a Vulture story, Ebeling alleged Alvarez assaulted him during the filming of the series; Alvarez, through his attorney, denied the claims.
After the Vulture story published, FX said in a statement, “We reviewed the allegations presented to us by another media outlet prior to the show’s launch. Mr. Ebeling never reached out to us with any concerns. We will have no further comment at this time.”Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every dayInside the business of TV with breaking news, expert analysis and showrunner interviewsSubscribe for full access to The Hollywood ReporterSend us a tip using our anonymous form.
