Season 3
Season 3 of A.P. Bio marked the show’s transition from NBC to the streaming platform Peacock. This shift allowed the series to become more experimental, lean into its absurdist comedy, and focus less on Jack Griffin's (Glenn Howerton) desire to leave Toledo and more on his bizarre integration into Whitlock High.
