NBC has ordered a second season of its new midseason comedy series "A.P. Bio", executive produced by Seth Meyers.
"A.P. Bio" was a big priority for NBC this midseason. The single-camera comedy got a major push with two special previews, including one after the Closing Ceremony of the PyeongChang Olympics. The series also got a digital promotional run ahead of its official premiere, which netted respectable sampling.
The high school comedy starring Glenn Howerton has not been a breakout. "A.P. Bio" is averaging a modest 1.2 rating in 18-49 and 3.7 million viewers overall in L+7 . But comedies are usually slow at the start and need time to grow.
Plus, "A.P. Bio" has been relatively well received by critics, and it has been attracting highly educated audiences — the series indexes at a 149 among adults 18-49 with four or more years of college to rank #3 among primetime series on the Big 4 networks.
"A.P. Bio" has been the strongest ratings performer among NBC’s bubble comedy series that also include freshman "Champions" and sophomore "Great News".
