PILOT PICKUPS: A.P. Bio

NBC handed out another pilot order tonight, this time to comedy A.P. Bio from Mike O'Brien, Seth Meyers, and Lorne Michaels. Given that NBC pedigree, it was not surprising that it got a pick-up. In what sounds a bit like a modern day Head of the Class, it centers on a teacher who takes a job teaching AP Bio but decides to do much more with his students. A.P. Bio stars Glenn Howerton, Patton Oswalt, Lyric Lewis, Mary Sohn, Aparna Brielle, Jacob McCarthy, and Nick Peine. A.P. Bio joins For God and Country, Rise, and the Will & Grace reboot as NBC's official pickups for next season.
