The How I Met Your Mother star will play gym teacher Wally Snur in the Jake Kasdan-directed feature. The film also stars Cameron Diaz, Lucy Punch and John Michael Higgins.
The script, penned by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, follows a crude, gold-digging seventh-grade teacher whose jealousy leads her to plot against a colleague who is dating the school's model teacher.
Segel will also appear in upcoming films The Adventurer's Handbook, Gulliver's Travels and Despicable Me.
Bad Teacher begins filming in Los Angeles next month.
