The Union-Wade family always has "been better together," as fans constantly witness on the gram. Nevertheless, the "Breaking In" star is reminding them once more via a series of incredible snaps taken on the Island of Maui.

Taking to Instagram, Union dropped five pictures featuring her lovely clan and a message implying they may star in the third season of "Abbot Elementary." "Swipe Through for @abbottelemabc Season 3 spoilers," she wrote. 

Meanwhile, in the first slide, she and Wade were about to lock lips with the sunset highlighting their faces. They were dressed like Hawaiians, sporting colorful patterned wears, with Union wearing a Lei around her neck.

In the next picture, an exact copy of the first, there were text overlays above the couple's heads; Wade had "somebody son" while his partner had "me." Kaavia was included in the third snap, and she had "the kid" written above her, while her mom and dad had their respective parenting titles indicated too.

In the fourth slide, one of the lead "Abbott Elementary" actors, Quinta Brunson, joined in the fun as she had "somebody's kid" written atop her head. She also wore a Lei and grinned at the camera.

At the same time, Union could be seen in the background making a comical expression with her husband posing close to her, holding her waist. They both had "mom" and "dad" texted above their heads. Brunson was featured once more in the final slide, but as a Janine Teagues meme, her character in "Abbott Elementary."

The post, which gained over 72k likes, would no doubt be a huge delight to fans given that they may finally see little Kaavia walk in her mother's acting ways. And in the comments, they could not help but gush about the group and express anticipation for the series' third season.

"PUT KAAVIA IN ABBOTT!!!" a fan exclaimed. In contrast, another was convinced the young star would be in the show as they remarked, "I bet Kaavia is going to be in Abbott Elementary."

Like several other commenters, Brunson pointed out the texts added to the pictures. She wrote, "Not…Somebody kid," while one other fan wondered how someone can get added to "somebody's kid list.

Given Union's great news of a possible "Abbot Elementary" renewal for a third season, enthusiastic viewers should have something to look forward to in the new year. Although in October, Romper reported that the show creators had yet to confirm if there would be another season following the tremendous successes of the first two seasons.

There is no precise release date for the upcoming season, but since the past ones began in a new school year, fans may expect the same sometime next September. As you may know, the mockumentary features Brunson, who plays a "do-gooder teacher," trying too hard and bonding with the new substitute tutor.

The 'Welcome to the Party' Author Films Little Kaavia Being Sassy With Daddy

While it is not confirmed if Kaavia will star in the new "Abbott Elementary," she keeps basking in her parents' affection, being her usual feisty self. Earlier this month, The Blast reported that Union filmed the little one being sassy with Wade as she remarked, "Hey bro, be quiet bro." She also showed her husband's reaction.

The comment made her ask Kaavia what "daddy" thought when she said that to him, prompting the youngster to respond by laughing, like her father, before saying "yeah" and walking away.

The "Almost Christmas" actress then directed the camera to show her mocking Wade, saying, "Oh, I wish she would say something crazy to me!" before noting that the former NBA star just laughed.

She also confronted him, and he said he had not responded to the funny remark, after which he declared, "Kaav runs the house."
