Here's Why AP Bio Got Cancelled and Then Revived

Netflix recently added the ill-fated sitcom, AP Bio, leading to questions about why the series was cancelled and then revived (and then cancelled again). 

AP Bio ran for two seasons on NBC from 2018 to 2019. The series was eventually cancelled but revived a year later on the NBC-owned streamer Peacock for a third and fourth season. 

The comedy series stars comedian Glenn Howerton as a disgraced Harvard philosophy professor forced to move back to his hometown and work as an A.P. biology teacher at the high school he grew up attending.

Why Was AP Bio Cancelled & Revived?

The story of AP Bio's four-season run on NBC and Peacock is rather confusing, as the show was cancelled and revived multiple times. 

The series, which only initially ran for two seasons on NBC in 2018 and 2019, was cancelled thanks to what was cited at the time as low ratings on linear television. 

However, that was not the end for the fan-favorite sitcom. Just over a year after its cancellation, NBC Universal announced a third season on the TV gian
