NBC's newest comedy A.P. BIO, starring Glenn Howerton and Patton Oswalt with Seth Meyers and Lorne Michaels as executive producers, will premiere two original episodes on digital platforms. "A.P. Bio" will launch as a special preview on NBC Thursday, Feb. 1 at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT with "Will & Grace" as its lead-in. The following two episodes (along with the pilot) will be available across digital platforms, including the NBC App, Hulu and those run by NBC owned and affiliated stations, beginning Feb 2, one day after the show debuts on the network.
"'A.P. Bio' is irreverent, bitingly funny and the perfect show for digital discovery," said Rob Hayes, Executive Vice President, Digital,
NBC Entertainment. "Audiences will be able to stream three consecutive episodes, getting a taste of how addictive this series will ultimately become."
The digital episodes will then air when the series returns on NBC, first on Sunday, Feb. 25 at 10:30 p.m., immediately following the Closing Ceremony of the Winter Olympics from PyeongChang, South Korea; and then on Thursday, March 1 at 8:30 p.m.
"A.P. Bio" will move to its normal 9:30 p.m. Thursday timeslot beginning March 1.
