Sources say execs within the NBCU fold — the series also is produced in-house via Michaels' Universal Television-based Broadway Video banner — 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.

The surprise pickup arrives as NBCU execs look to capitalize on the show's strong digital performance. The pilot of the comedy, which originally aired in February 2018 to a 0.8 in the demo, now sits at a 5.6 after 100 days of delayed viewing. The series is also strong digitally with the 18-34 demo. Season one of the series was NBC's most digital-skewing show of the 2017-18 season, with 35 percent of its 18-49 audience coming from digital platforms. In season two, A.P. Bio generated 47 percent of its 35-day demo rating from digital platforms and ranked behind only Brooklyn Nine-Nine on its platforms.

While streamers like Netflix have revived multiple canceled broadcast shows (ABC's Designated Survivor, Fox's Lucifer, etc.) A.P. Bio is the first broadcast comedy to be revived by a streaming service under the same corporate umbrella. The series will join library content starting with The Office, which the service acquired in a five-year, $500 million deal following a pricey bidding war with Netflix.
Few details are known about NBCU's streaming service, which is set to launch in 2020. The ad-supported platform will feature TV and film franchises from within the company as well as homegrown original programming and content from outside studios.

Technically this was already done when NBCUniversal produced The Mindy Project moved from Fox to Disney/Fox/NBCUniversal owned Hulu.

I enjoy the show, but there didn't seem to be much of a long term plan when they put it together. Much of the show revolves around his class and students...and unless they are going to perpetually stay in the same grade season after season, what's the plan? It's not like he's going to keep getting new students every year where he refuses to teach them Biology.
Howerton and Oswalt are great...and some of the students are as well. I think it lost it's way after he resolved his issues with his rival, though.

I only got a few esp into the first season before Hulu yanked it. What I saw was quite funny though, so I am glad it gets another shot. Now I need to find where I can finish watching it...

I'm sure it performed well digitally because a lot watched it on Hulu. I'm not paying nbc to watch that show.

Yup. I laughed alot in the first season but I didn't understand how the show could make it more than a season or two.

It was coming up on a big issue, but they never really dated any of the episodes.
They didn’t do like a Christmas episode or anything like that
I don’t think it could have lasted very long but it has a little more juice

Cool. It was a fun distraction. Drop the plot line with the co-worker teachers though. Focus back on the kids and pulling stunts and pranks. Involve the school from the season 2 finale.

That and The Good Place are the only network shows I watch. The kids on it are funny, you know a couple of them will end up in better things, like the awkward girl with glasses, the sassy black guy and the overachieving Indian girl. But man, I don't know if I will pay for NBC streaming to watch it. NBC has a lineup full of dogshit, can't imagine the pay stuff will be that much better.
I'm interested to see how all those streaming platforms shake out. My wife got the CBS one to see the new Twilight Zones. They were alright, but it felt like a chore to watch those things. And I was never interested enough to check out the other offerings on there. I think people are only going to get two or three of those platforms and I can't see where a show that NBC axed for low ratings will be a selling point. I mean, people will have Amazon just because they want Prime shipping. Neflix has gobs of original content. Hulu has all sorts of shite from basic cable and networks. Disney will have all of their content.

I never watched it but don't you love streaming TV? There is so much need for original programming it's likely few programs (unless they really suck) will get the final axe. Let's hope The Punisher/Jessica Jones/Daredevil etc. will see a similar fate!
