A.P. Bio is an American television sitcom that premiered on February 1, 2018, on NBC as a mid-season replacement. It aired on NBC for two seasons until June 13, 2019, and moved to Peacock for its subsequent seasons. Set in Toledo, Ohio, the series centers on the everyday lives of the faculty and students of the fictitious Whitlock High School, in particular reluctant AP Biology teacher Jack Griffin (Glenn Howerton), who refuses to teach the subject out of fury that he was denied a prestigious professorship at Harvard University in philosophy. Instead of teaching, he either ignores his students altogether or recruits them into various schemes to help him leave or get revenge. Mike O'Brien created the series and is a recurring writer. O'Brien is also one of the executive producers alongside Seth Meyers, Lorne Michaels, Andrew Singer, and Michael Shoemaker. The show also features a cast of Lyric Lewis, Mary Sohn, Jean Villepique, Paula Pell, and Patton Oswalt.
A.P. Bio was met with mixed reviews on its first season; however, following seasons garnered a much more positive reception. In December 2021, the series was canceled after four seasons.
