AP Bio stars Glenn Howerton, Patton Oswalt, Lyric Lewis, Mary Sohn, Jean Villepique, and Paula Pell. After being denied tenure at Harvard, award-winning philosophy scholar Jack Griffin (Howerton) returned home to Toledo, Ohio to lick his wounds. Now, he teaches Advanced Placement biology at Whitlock High, where he convinces his students to do his dirty work for him.
The second season of AP Bio is averaging a 0.51 rating in the 18-49 demographic and just 1.96 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 29% and 26%, respectively. Nine of the season’s 13 episodes have aired thus far.
How does AP Bio stack up against other scripted NBC TV shows of the 2018-19 season? It ranks 17th in the demo (out of 20 scripted shows) and ranks 19th in viewership.
AP Bio’s creator/executive producer revealed that the NBC series had been cancelled via Twitter.
I'm intensely sad to announce that AP Bio will be ending after this season. This has been my favorite project of my life and that's because of the amazing writers, cast and crew. As most canceled shows probably feel, I think we were just hitting our stride and everyone was still

loving the work, so this is very hard. We have 4 left to air and they're 4 of my favorites. Plus 22 others are on Hulu (for now) and https://t.co/wUeZQNY5WZ. Please check them out and tell a friend about the show and tell the people who worked on it that they did a good job!
