Who Is in the Cast of English Teacher Season 2?
English Teacher is returning with its core ensemble, as filming took place in Georgia, which served as the backdrop for its Texas high school. Here are details of the cast members:
- Brian Jordan Alvarez as Evan Marquez
- Stephanie Koenig as Gwen Sanders
- Sean Patton as Markie Hillridge
- Carmen Christopher as Rick Santana
- Enrico Colantoni as Principal Grant Moretti
- Jordan Firstman as Malcolm
As per Variety, the renewal for season 2 comes after an article had been published by New York Magazine in December 2024 in which Alvarez’s former friend and co-star Jon Ebeling accused Alvarez of s*xual assault.
Ebeling also alleged that English Teacher writer and star Koenig played a role in enabling Alvarez’s harmful dynamic with Ebeling when the three actors starred together in the 2016 web series The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo. (via New York Magazine).
Given all the controversy of its show’s stars and the world they live in, what can we expect from the next season?
What Is the Plot of English Teacher Season 2?
FX has posted the plot for their season 2 on their website (via FX):
English Teacher follows “Evan Marquez,” played by creator Brian Jordan Alvarez, as he continues to navigate his way through the political minefield known as the American high school. Back with Evan — though not always on his side — are his best friend “Gwen” (Stephanie Koenig), gym teacher “Markie” (Sean Patton), wild card guidance counselor “Rick” (Carmen Christopher) and constantly terrified “Principal Grant Moretti” (Enrico Colantoni).
Regarding the events following the end of the second season and its titular character, they added:
Not surprisingly, Evan still refuses to stay quiet when controversy arises at Morrison-Hensley High. This season, the gang finds themselves in the crosshairs of issues including climate change, Covid, military recruitment and student phone usage.
Evan also struggles to keep his relationship with “Malcolm” (Jordan Firstman) separate from his work life. Even though Malcolm no longer works at Morrison-Hensley, Evan’s excessive righteousness at school takes an increasing toll on his romantic life.
Looks like Evan will have to navigate the school politics on a much deeper scale as he tries to find love and also stay out of trouble.
