NBC Renews A.P. Bio & Loads Up on New Comedies

Well, it looks like we're in for a second helping of Mr. Griffin's non-learning learning of biology.

It was announced Tuesday by TVLine that NBC has renewed A.P. Bio for a second season. The Howerton (It's Always Sunny i Philadelphia) stars as sweater-loving philosoph professor Jacck Griffin, who's reduced to teaching a high school biology after losing out on his dream job. It also co-stars Patton Oswalt as weak-willed principal Ralph Durbib, along with Lric Lewis Mary Sohn and Jean Villepique as Jack's fellow teachers.

Created and executive produced by Mike O'Brien (SNL) and executive produced also by Seth Meyers (Late Night) and Lorne Michaels (SNL).

A.P. Bio premiered in February with a sneak preview, then got a special ratings boosted showcase following the closing of the Winter Olympics. Last week's season finale pulled just 2.1 million total viewers with a 0.6 demo rating, but the overall numbers were probably enough for NBC to order a second season. The network says that A.P. Bio has "one of the most highly educated audiences" on broadcast TV, ranking third among adults 18-49 with four or more years in college. So sees kids, school really does matter.

Also on Tuesday, NBC has ordered to series two new comedies: Amy Poehler EP'd "I Feel Bad" and "Abby's."

The single camera I Feel Bad stars Sarayu Blue (No Tomorrow) as Emet, a most imperfect mom, boss, wife, friend and daughter. The logline says "She feels bad when she has a sexy dream about someone other than her husbad (played by Paul Adelstein), or when she pretends not to know her kids when they misbehave in pubic, or when she uses her staff to help solve personal problems. But that's OD, right? Nobody can have it all and it perfectly."

The multi-cam Abby's, stars Natalie Morales (Parks and Recreation, The Grinder and Powerless) as the titular owner of "the best bar in San Diego, home to good prices, great company and of course, Abby. This unlicensed, makeshift bar nestled in her backyard is the opposite of everything annoying about today's party scene. There are rules at Abby's: no cell phones- that een to "look something up"- and earning a seat at the bar takes time and losing a challenge means drinking a lime, sugary, "not-beer" drink. As the oddball cast of regulars (which includes Neil Flynn from The Middle) will tell you, hanging out at Abby's is a coveted honor. But once you're in, you're family. Josh Malmuth (New Girl) is the showrunner/writer/EP.

The two new comedies have joined the three new dramas, New Amsterdam, The Enemy Within and The Village on NBC's roster for the 2018-2019 TV season. You can catch the full lineup when it is unveiled at the NBC's upfront presentation on Monday.
