Less than two months after A.P. Bio was canceled, the Glenn Howerton/Patton Oswalt comedy is being revived for Season 3 as the first scripted series for NBC Universal's upcoming streaming service. "I’m so overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the fans,” said creator Mike O'Brien. “The cast and I are thrilled that we get to make more and I’m excited to work with the NBCU streaming platform.” A.P. Bio also counts Lorne Michaels and Seth Meyers as executive producers. According to The Hollywood Reporter's Lesley Goldberg, NBC Universal executives "were high on the comedy and the cast was also eager to return to the series. Universal TV will now have to ink the stars to new deals after their options all expired in June. O'Brien, who has a long-standing relationship with (Lorne) Michaels dating back to his time on SNL, bemoaned the cancellation in a pair of heartfelt tweets in late May in which he said A.P. Bio was his 'favorite project' of his life and that the show was just hitting its stride."
