A.P. Bio has been renewed for Season 4 by Peacock, NBC’s streaming service. The sitcom stars Glenn Howerton as a disgraced former academic who coasts into a biology teaching position at a school in his home town and then goes to great lengths to avoid teaching them anything.
The show also features Patton Oswalt as the school’s principal, along with Paula Pell, Lyric Lewis, Mary Sohn, and Jean Villepique. The trailer, below, announces that the show will be back in 2021, but does not show any footage.
A.P. Bio ran for two seasons on NBC before being cancelled. It was then revived by Peacock for Season 3, and has seemingly done well enough to receive an extra season.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Season 4 will consist of 8 episodes, the same number as Season 3.
One of Peacock’s big drawcards, a Friends reunion special, was hugely delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The streaming service is likely to get a boost in 2021 thanks to the addition of Netflix’s previous most-watched show, The Office, to its list of programs.
