Remember the 90s? Scrunchies, cassette mixtapes, and a school faculty that was somehow more chaotic than the students. If that sounds like your kind of comfort watch, good news. Both seasons of the canceled ABC sitcom Schooled have quietly landed on Netflix US. There was no big announcement, just a pleasant surprise for anyone who loves a nostalgic binge.

What Is Schooled About?
Schooled is a direct spin-off of the hit family sitcom <a href=”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goldbergs_(2013_TV_series)” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>The Goldbergs</a>. Instead of a family living room, the action moves to the staff room of a 1990s high school. AJ Michalka returns as Lainey Lewis, a character from the original show, who heads back to her old stomping grounds as the new music teacher. Chaos follows, as it tends to when a school is run by the faculty.
Meet the Faculty
The supporting cast is the real treat. Tim Meadows plays Principal Glascott, the endlessly patient boss who has seen it all and still keeps smiling. Bryan Callen is the overly intense Coach Mellor, who treats every gym class like a championship game. Brett Dier rounds out the group as C.B., an enthusiastic, new-age teacher with a unique take on education. Together they make a light, easy-to-binge ensemble, the TV equivalent of a warm blanket.
Why Is It on Netflix and Not Hulu?
Here’s the interesting part. Both Schooled and The Goldbergs aired on ABC, which is owned by Disney, so you might expect them to live on Disney’s platforms. But Schooled was produced and distributed by Sony Pictures Television. Sony doesn’t run its own streaming service, so it licenses its catalog to whoever pays, and Netflix has an ongoing relationship with the studio. That’s also why this show isn’t part of Netflix’s recent deal with Disney, which covers ABC titles like Will Trent and Shifting Gears.
So, Is The Goldbergs Coming to Netflix Too?
Not yet. For now, all seasons of The Goldbergs stream exclusively on Hulu. Fans are hoping the arrival of Schooled signals something bigger, but nothing has been confirmed. Treat it as a “maybe someday” rather than a promise.
Don’t Mix It Up With Mark Rober’s “Schooled”
Heads up, because this one could trip up a lot of people. Netflix also has an upcoming unscripted series called Schooled from former NASA engineer and YouTube star Mark Rober. It’s about building clever contraptions and solving engineering challenges, and it has no connection to the ABC sitcom. If you press play expecting glitter bombs and instead find Tim Meadows handling 90s teenagers, you’ve picked the wrong Schooled.
Should You Watch It?
If you love 90s nostalgia, workplace comedies and low-effort binges, this is an easy yes, especially if you enjoyed The Goldbergs. If you prefer dark, plot-heavy dramas, or you want a show with more seasons on the way, you may want to skip it, since ABC canceled it after two.
