Almost two months after NBC cancelled "AP Bio", the comedy has found a home at the network's currently unnamed streaming service.
The show, which did not receive renewal on the channel, is getting a third season as NBCUniversal's first half-hour original.
Showrunner Mike O'Brien said the team is excited to come back.
"I'm so overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the fans.
"The cast and I are thrilled that we get to make more and I'm excited to work with the NBCU streaming platform," O'Brien said on Wednesday in a statement as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

The series had Seth Meyers, Mike Shoemaker, Andrew Singer and Lorne Michaels also serving as executive producers.
On "AP Bio", Glenn Howerton played Jack Griffin, a disgraced Harvard philosophy scholar who lost out on his dream job and was forced to return to Toledo, Ohio, to work as a high school biology teacher.
There, he decided to use his students for his own benefit but found himself gradually more entangled with the other staff, especially the principal (played by Patton Oswalt).
In May, as the news of the show's scrapping spread, fans took to social media in an attempt to bring it back, tweeting with the hashtag #SaveAPBio, with some even urging Netflix to pick it up.
