Axed: AP Bio

US comedy AP Bio has been cancelled after 4 seasons.

The series starred Glenn Howerton as former Harvard philosophy scholar Jack Griffin who loses his dream job and is reduced to returning to work as a high school advanced placement biology teacher. The show aired its first two seasons on NBC in the USA before moving to Peacock for Seasons 3 and 4.

Series creator Mike O’Brien revealed on Twitter, “I’m sad to announce that AP Bio will not be renewed for a 5th season. But mostly I’m feeling grateful right now. To all the fans who watched the show and fought for it to come back after the cancellation! And to Peacock & UTV for giving us two more seasons after that! (all 42 eps are on peacock so check them out if you haven’t).

“This show has been one of the best experiences of my life and that’s because of the hundreds of hilarious, hard-working, positive people that were involved. I’m going to name a few below but can’t possibly cover everyone. So if you ever worked with us for even a day, THANK YOU!! And to you other shows, hire these people!”

“We were honored to be able to give fans two more seasons of this beloved, quirky comedy,” Peacock said in a statement. “We’re grateful to creator Mike O’Brien for his out-of-the-box storytelling and for taking us on this journey with these characters at Whitlock High.”

The series screened in Australia on Stan.
