English Teacher renewed for second season despite allegations against creator Brian Jordan Alvarez

Brian Jordan Alvarez's show, English Teacher, has been renewed for a second season despite sexual assault allegations against him by Jon Ebeling. Ebeling expressed his heartbreak and concern for those working with Alvarez. The renewal follows a delay after Ebeling's allegations were reported in December. Alvarez has denied the claims, stating that interactions were consensual, while Ebeling has shared his distress over the show's continuation. Ebeling filed a police report about the alleged assault before the show's premiere. He believes more victims may be hesitant to come forward due to stigma and fear of disbelief.
