Here is some good news/bad news for fans of Eastbound and Down. The popular HBO series is gearing up for a third season, which will also be the show’s last. Danny McBride told GQ in their April Issue that “he and Hill gave themselves some time off to ‘get Kenny out of our heads,’ but they’re ready to start writing a third and final season of “Eastbound” soon, which will be about Kenny, now dealing with the responsibilities of fatherhood, setting up in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.”
The full article, “The Sword and The Stoned”, focuses on McBride’s new film, “Your Highness” that is best described as “a stoner comedy set in the middle ages.” It’s a film McBride created with fellow film school alum and director of “Pineapple Express”, David Gordon Green, during a game in which Green would toss McBride possible film titles and McBride would come up with a plot on the spot. The possibility to make the film came about after McBride’s success in “Eastbound and Down” and film’s such as the aforementioned “Pineapple Express”, “Up In The Air”, and the cult status of “Foot Fist Way”. McBride told GQ, “If someone was going to give me an opportunity to stand in front of a movie, I didn’t want it to be some lame romantic comedy… We were like like, ‘Let’s make the movie that we would have died to see when we were 13 years old.”
