“TEACHERS” – Season One Finale on Wednesday, March 16th at 10:30pm ET/PT
“Teachers” revolves around a group of elementary school teachers who are trying to mold the minds of America’s youth, but don’t have their own lives together at all. From Ms. Bennigan awkwardly flirting with the school’s resident “hot dad,” to Ms. Snap hooking up with the school janitor, and Ms. Watson making her class Facebook-stalk an ex-boyfriend, they’re changing the world – perhaps not for the better – one student at a time. “Teachers” is written by and stars The Katydids, who wrote and acted in the popular web series of the same name and are each named a version of “Katie” – Caitlin Barlow, Katy Colloton, Cate Freedman, Kate Lambert, Katie O’Brien and Kathryn Renée Thomas. Along with The Katydids, Alison Brie (“Community”) and showrunners Ian Roberts and Jay Martel (“Key and Peele”) executive produce the series. Matt Miller and Cap Gun Collective are also executive producers.​
