Eastbound & Down is over and done with, however Danny McBride’s not finished with HBO. McBride and Jody Hill are behind the new HBO comedy series, Vice Principals, which has just received an 18 episode order from the network.
HBO President of Programming Michael Lombardo made the announcement, stating, “Danny McBride and Jody Hill have created a smart, rowdy and unpredictable style of comedy that we can’t get enough of. The idea of them setting their minds on high school was irresistible.”
“HBO was the perfect creative family for Eastbound & Down, and we’re excited to pack up the van for the next adventure,” said McBride.
“When the idea for the new series became too crazy to keep to ourselves, we knew HBO was the perfect place to unleash it,” said executive producer David Gordon Green.
HBO hasn’t set a premiere date for the series created by McBride and Hill. As the title suggests, the series is about a high school and the “people who almost run it, the vice principals.”
