"Eastbound & Down" creators Danny McBride and Jody Hill team again for a dark comedy series -- no surprise there! -- that may place high school administrators in a wholly different light. McBride and Walton Goggins co-star as vice principals at North Jackson High School, which becomes ground zero for a major power struggle when the principal retires. The rival administrators set their sights on the vacated top spot -- only to see English teacher Dr. Belinda Brown enter the picture. Putting their mutual hate aside, the bitter antagonists form an unholy alliance to bring down the outsider by any means necessary.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Danny McBride and Walton Goggins return to settle unfinished business in a Vice Principals season two that is both obscenely funny and more satisfying than its predecessor.

After seeing much of Vice Principals season two, which was entirely directed by David Gordon Green instead of Hill, who directed season one, I can say it's definitely worth it. Go to Full Review Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly Nov 13, 2017

It's the sort of comedy that only appreciates based on its smaller character moments. Go to Full Review Scott Wampler Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 20, 2017
There's not much I didn't love in this episode, honestly. Go to Full Review Nick Harley Den of Geek Oct 20, 2017

As Russell says, Gamby has been a caged beast and now he's back in his jungle. Students and faculty should both be scared. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

R S @RT02487647 Jul 16, 2025 My only complaint is that there won't be a third season. See more Christopher L @Mongooseman Jun 15, 2025 You’ll need to be a fan of this kind of irreverent comedy to appreciate this show, and if you are you’ll have a blast. A lot of standout moments and fun performances, enjoyably ridiculous! I also appreciate this being just two seasons, it does what it needs to do and doesn’t overextend the story to 7 or 8 seasons like a lot of shows might. See more Jamie K @RT82509986 Apr 25, 2025 A perfect close to a duo and a show that explored the wildest school year even conceived, with a continuously funny, outrageous and weirdly sweet story following the aftermath of season 1's cliffhanger. This 2 season story not only continued to keep its writing and characters as consistently sharp and interesting throughout but manages to blend is uniquely blunt humour across both season making for a show that kept my giggling through almost every episode and on the edge of my seat at every twist and turn that culminated in a weirdly bittersweet conclusion. See more David W @RT91245001 Nov 7, 2024 Vice Principals redeems the entire series with a strong second season that improves character likeability, builds on a Season 1 cliffhanger, and delivers the twists and surprises the creative team is known for. It’s a great package overall and a great improvement on the first season. I would definitely watch this season, and series, again. See more MariofanAlex445 T @RT47678067 Sep 2, 2024 This season was pure chaos. Everything about it was genuinely entertaining and awkward, and everything in between. That final episode was beautiful, great way to cap off the series. See more Cody B @RT94121964 Jan 19, 2024 GOGGINS!!!!!! He is perfect! See more Read all reviews
