O’Brien wrote that he was sad the series would not be renewed for a fifth season but mostly thanked fans for fighting and making two more seasons possible after it got canceled the first time.

We were honored to be able to give fans two more seasons of this beloved, quirky comedy. We’re grateful to creator Mike O’Brien for his out-of-the-box storytelling and for taking us on this journey with these characters at Whitlock High.
Peacock added in a statement

A.P. Bio follows “a Harvard scholar (Glenn Howerton) who returns home to Toledo, Ohio after losing out on his dream job. He winds up taking a position at the local high school teaching biology and uses the students for his own personal gains.”

Season 4 of A.P. Bio debuted just a little over three months ago. The actual reason for the cancellation remains unknown as Peacock, just like other streaming services, doesn’t share the exact viewer count for its titles.

The streamer recently revived Punky Brewster and also picked up other comedies like Saved by the Bell, Rutherford Falls, Girls5Eva, and We Are Lady Parts.

Although the series seems to have been canceled for good—who knows, maybe another streamer could bring it back for another season or two someday.
