Have you ever thought about what A.P. Bio is? It is the short form of Advanced Placement Biology. Well, I didn’t expect it. I thought about every possible reason for the creators to come up with this title. But I didn’t think it to be the short form of a subject. AP Bio is the American comedy series created and directed by Mile O’Brien. The series has a total of 42 episodes (4 Seasons) with a running time of 22 minutes each.
The first episode was released on February 1, 2018. Season 1 and season 2 were aired on NBC, and season 3 and season 4 were aired on Peacock. The series focuses on the humorous relationship between students and a professor at Whitlock High. The professor, Jack Griffin uses his students to take revenge on the people who have wronged him. The creator has really put a standard for all the professors to get some inspiration from Jack Griffin. Come on, students don’t want anything more than an amazing teacher who is more like their friend than a strict teacher.
A.P. Bio Season 5 Release Date
The four seasons of A.P. Bio literally gave us stomach aches (of course, by making us laugh). The first season was aired on February 1, 2018. The show really portrayed a beautiful connection between students and a professor. The audience accepted the humor series and was desperately waiting for the next season. But unfortunately, the series got canceled at Peacock.
The creator Mike O’Brien said that he was sad to announce the bad news, that season 4 will be the final season and there won’t be a coming back. In other words, there won’t be a season 5. But he adds that he is fortunate enough to work on this series with an amazing cast and crew. He is happy and grateful for the audience and fans who continuously supported him throughout the series. The series came to an end on September 2, 2021.

The story takes place in Los Angeles, California. The story is about Jack Griffen, a philosophy professor at Harvard. He loses his dream of being at Harvard, by losing to his rival Miles Leonard. After losing his job, he was forced to return to his hometown in Toledo, Ohio. He then joins at Whitlock Highschool as a professor in Advanced Placement in Biology.

Meanwhile, Miles gives him an offer to write a book in philosophy, and Jack tries to use this as an escape ticket from Toledo.
