Good news for fans of HBO’s Eastbound & Down. I came across this new info from Deadline.com
Season 2 of HBO’s Eastbound & Down is coming together. The setting for the underrated comedy starring Danny McBride will move from North Carolina to Mexico, with Michael Pena and Ana de la Reguera joining as new regulars.
I am looking forward to season two, and the thought of it being in Mexico intrigues me even more. If you were looking for a lot of the characters in season one to be involved in season two, you might be disappointed.
Because of the new setting, most of the cast members from Season 1 of the show will have little or no presence next season with the exception of Steve Little whose character Stevie Janowski will track Danny down in Mexico.

I am a little late on this, but I have to post it because this is GREAT news! Eastbound & Down will be back for another season!
Starring Danny McBride ("Tropic Thunder," "Pineapple Express"), EASTBOUND & DOWN tells the story of Kenny Powers, who used to be a star pitcher until his self-destructive behavior knocked him out of Major League Baseball. In the first season of the series, he returned home to North Carolina to teach Phys Ed at the middle school he once attended, and eventually scored another big-league job offer.
"EASTBOUND & DOWN's raucous comedy sparked a loyal and enthusiastic following that grew throughout the season, and we're happy to bring the show back for more innings," noted Lombardo. "It will be fun to see what happens to Kenny in season two."
No word on when the second season will air.

When you sit down tomorrow night at 9:30 you will be disappointed to see that there is not a new episode of “Eastbound and Down” on. Last Sunday’s sixth episode was the last of the season and I still haven’t seen if they will pick it up for a second.
This show is so HILARIOUS that HBO has got to pick it up for at least one more season. I have not talked to anyone who hasn’t liked it. The Kenny Powers character is greatness and he really does remind you of some of these professional athletes out there today. (See Ryan Leaf and John Rocker)
Reviews thanks to Wikipedia
Eastbound & Down has received positive to average reviews, and currently holds a 62/100 rating on Metacritic based on 16 reviews. The best coming from Entertainment Weekly, who says "What lifts Eastbound & Down away from mere crud ball humor is McBride's ongoing love affair with the lower middle class." Its worst come from the San Francisco Chronicle saying, "It seems like a middling Fox series with a monotonous glut of obscenities and some nudity tossed in to make it pay-cable worthy."
The show was notably also given a highly favorable review in The New Yorker, in which TV critic Nancy Franklin suggested Kenny Powers would be as memorable a character as David Brent from the British sitcom The Office.
I don’t think this will be some long running series because it’s a hard story line to keep going but I need at least one more season of this show.
Go to the official Eastbound and Down Website.
I leave you with some hilarious clips.
Very first show opening.
P.E. Class
