Bruce Campbell Will Guest Star in the Fourth Season of Peacock’s “A.P. Bio”
While we wait for new movie Evil Dead Rise, being produced by Bruce Campbell, we’ve learned today that the horror icon is soon headed back to the small screen over at Peacock.
Deadline reports that Campbell has booked a guest-starring role on Peacock’s comedy series “A.P. Bio,” set to make an appearance in the show’s upcoming fourth season.
Deadline notes, “Campbell will guest star as John Griffin, father of Glenn Howerton’s Jack Griffin in the series. An absent father to Jack most of his life, he recently had a spiritual awakening with hopes to reconnect with his adult son.”
For those unfamiliar with the series, Deadline explains: “A.P. Bio stars Howerton as disgraced Harvard philosophy scholar Jack Griffin who, after losing out on his dream job, is forced to return to Toledo, Ohio, and work as a high school Advanced Placement biology teacher.”
Announced earlier this year, Campbell is also set to star in a comedy pilot titled “Adopted” for ABC and Jimmy Kimmel, so we should be seeing a lot of him in the coming months.
