Deadline has reported on the HBO premiere schedule and it’s good, obviously. Returning for one final turn at bat, Danny McBride in Eastbound & Down will air on February 19th. Right after that awesome show, we have Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s Life’s Too Short (check out all our coverage). I’ve been a big fan of Eastbound & Down since the beginning, and waiting over a year between seasons hasn’t been easy. It will be sad to see them go. I have been watching Life’s Too Short and will likely end up watching it again when it finally airs on HBO. It’s a solid return to TV for the comedy team, and Warwick Davis will likely get a deserving Emmy or Glob nomination here.
Watch below:

Eastbound & Down is heading for season 3, but after that, star and all around righteous dude Danny McBride says that’s it. According to Deadline, the star of the HBO comedy said during the show’s panel at PaleyFest that the series’ third season, which is filming now, will be its last. There’s been no official word from HBO on the series’ future since renewing it for Season 3 back in October, the network has said it wants the show to stick around as long as McBride and producers Will Ferrell and Adam McKay want to do it. Don’t be fu**ing Out out Eastbound, don’t be fu**ing out!

Not a lot to say here, it was a very funny 1st season of Eastbound & Down and I’ve told you before to watch it. So if you haven’t or won’t – then I don’t know what else to do really. Please? Eastbound and Down stars Danny McBride as blowhard, jerk-off, has-been pitcher Kenny Powers. The new short TV spot gives us our first look at Kenny Powers cruising through Mexico on a motor scooter like the bad-ass we all know and love. See the promo after the jump. (more…)

The second season will focus on Danny McBride’s character, Kenny Powers, moving from North Carolina to Mexico.Michael Pena and Ana de la Reguera have recently joined the cast.
In the first season finale, Powers (McBride) quit his phys-ed teaching job for an offer to join the Tampa Bay Rays but, after the offer fell through, he dumped his girlfriend and was last seen driving away with a worried look on his face. Enter Mexico. If you have no idea what this show is, find the first season. There is 6 episodes and the build up and hilarity is just perfect. Watch the first episode intro here for even more!

Deadline got their hands on some exclusive details regarding the second season of HBO’s Eastbound & Down, finally is all I have to say. But here’s more anyways:
The setting will move from North Carolina to Mexico, with Michael Pena (Dennis from Observe and Report, who you might recall fled America in a raffle car for Mexico) and Ana de la Reguera (the Nun from Nacho Libre) are joining the cast. In the first season finale, former professional baseball pitcher Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) quit his physical ed teaching job for an offer to join the Tampa Bay Rays but, after the offer fell through, he dumped his girlfriend and was last seen driving away with a worried look on his face. In Season 2, hiding from his problems, Kenny finds himself in Mexico where he joins a local baseball team.

Everyone out there in TV land I’m sure is wondering where the hell Season 2 of one of the best comedies in years is. Well, here are some details about Eastbound & Down. During his SXSW Film Festival Q&A, David Gordon Green revealed a few details about Eastbound & Down the HBO show created by Jody Hill, starring Danny McBride. The trio is the team behind Hill’s breakthrough film, The Foot Fist Way and Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are executive producers on the show. The show, if you haven’t seen it, centers on Kenny Powers (McBride), a former professional baseball pitcher, who after a disappointing career is forced to return to his hometown middle-school in Shelby, North Carolina as a substitute physical education teacher. Hilarity does indeed ensue. (more…)

Zooey Deschanel seems to be growing on me lately, although she still needs to learn how to blink when talking – but I can forgive that. She stars in (500) DAYS OF SUMMER later this month, and if the buzz since Sundance accounts for anything, it’s defiantly something to check out. Today comes the news that she is joining the stoner medieval comedy YOUR HIGHNESS (get it?) with David Gordon Green (PINEAPPLE EXPRESS) at the helm. Also reuniting for the flick are Pineapple smokers James Franco and Danny McBride. Did I mention this movie also has Natalie Portman? Yowza!
Portman is a warrior princess who is love interest for McBride, who must complete a quest to save his father’s kingdom. I bet he smokes a lot while doing so, eh…right? Ben Best who wrote YOUR HIGHNESS has been working with McBride for some time, back since FOOT FIST WAY and more recently on the fantastically funny EASTBOUND & DOWN for HBO. Franco takes the role as the more brave and heroic brother (really?) and Deschanel his virgin bride (really?).
Extra Tidbit: Zooey Deschanel’s first big role was in David Gordon Green’s All the Real Girls.
