Things are looking up for fans of Eastbound & Down.
Eastbound star Danny McBride will return to HBO in a comedy called Vice Principals, the network announced Wednesday.

The series, described as a sitcom about “a high school and the people that almost run it,” is from McBride and his Eastbound collaborator Jody Hill.
The series is slated for 18 episodes; debut date and number of episodes per season has yet to be determined.
McBride and Hill wrapped Eastbound, a cult comedy about a former pro baseball pitcher, late last year.
