EXCLUSIVE: 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. In the first season finale, former 
professional baseball pitcher Kenny Powers (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. Crash co-star Pena will play Kenny’s friend and owner of the baseball team he joins. De la Reguera will play Kenny’s love interest in Mexico. 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. Casting is underway for the role of Kenny’s father. Production on Season 2 will start next month in Puerto Rico, which will stand in for Mexico. Mexican-born De la Reguera co-starred on another project set in Mexico, the 2006 feature Nacho Libre, as well as the recent release Cop Out.

Love it!
Eastbound can do no wrong…
Why can’t more TV comedies be like this one… funny.
Thought season one was it! I’m confident season 1 even being pure greatness will be topped! Just look at the cast! Danny I hope your rich and don’t have to ever worry about shit
Dollar…Dollar…bills…Y’all!! Kuddos to Season 2! April will be missed. WooHoo Stevie Janowski will return. Can’t wait.
u cant get rid of april it would not be the same
I won’t watch the show anymore with out April.
THIS IS THE BEST TV SERIES EVERRR! ITS SOOO FUNNY AND I LOVE IT:)
Don’t get rid of april!!~ either way great comedy can’t fuckin wait!
can’t wait to see april!
Oh no…EB&D without Katy Mixon’s “April”! Say it ain’t so!!!!
i would definitely like to see “more” of her on the show she is gorgeous.
can’t wait. glad to hear Stevie will be around season 2!
Can’t wait. But would have loved a bit more of Katy Mixon.
they showed you her boobs already what more do you want?
Werent her boobs, stunt boobs. If you watch it again there’s a mole on the boobs you see that would be visible in the shots of April in her bra, but look closer and April doesnt have the mole. Sorry to rain on your boob parade!
You have too much time on your hands, son.
I thing in Season 1 of EB&D, Katy Mixon’s titties were “stunt boobies”! It was a close up so you didn’t get to see her tits at the same time as her super cute face. She’s fucking hot!
The funniest show on TV just dropped the ball. Moving from N.C. to Mexico? FAIL!! No April BigCannons? EPIC FAIL!! One of the greatest comedies ever. No reason to keep HBO now…except for True Blood.
I completely agree Katy Mixon is gorgous.
Ana de la Reguera needs to be seen and heard. She’s an amazing talent!
Nobody swears like Kenny Powers. But I am going to miss Clegg and April.
Clegg will most certainly be in it, he’s an executive producer!
Stevie was the awesome! Can’t wait to see him in Mexico! I bet he parties on the reg!
amazing
kenny powers is one of the best characters on tv. or not tv, HBO, right? can’t wait to hear some spanglish coming out his moF’n mouth. this’ll be good.
might have to get me some HBO again.
yes, I think this season will top season 1 simple fact he is in mexico hahaha. So much trash talking about them! lol
BEST…COMEDY…ON…TV. CAN’T WAIT FOR MORE.
Sunny.
Annnnnnd… Ana de la Reguera looks suspiciously like Penelope Cruz, which every Mexican or Latina female is supposed to look like on American TV these days.
And this show looks suspiciously like a brown bomb I dropped into the porcelain bowl this morning. Worst. Show. Ever. Despite these suspicious one-line ramblings from (obviously) paid endorsers.
Second season, huh? There was a first “season”? A weekly (weakly?) embarrassment of shit-as-story-and-talent? Please, TV-watching audience, get a grip. This is worse than any scripted “reality” show. It’s just a shame that Jerry Springer isn’t getting a subsidy. Redneck idiocy as “entertainment”. You should all be ashamed.
I tell you what- go watch Greys Anatomy and Two and a Half men and leave the best comedy on tv alone. Lowest common denomenator pablam is all you can handle, so leave the real funny to the grown-ups-
Fuckitty Bye Yall
Tak
@ American Idol: Penelope Cruz is gorgeous, and there is nothing wrong with looking like her. Eastbound and Down is funny and original. Go back to your MTV.
Nice trolling, American Idol. Eastbound and Down rocks your face and you know it.
American Idol:
‘This is worse than any scripted “reality” show. It’s just a shame that Jerry Springer isn’t getting a subsidy. Redneck idiocy as “entertainment”. You should all be ashamed.’
Actually, EB&D very intelligently SATIRIZES redneck idiocy, in a way that is as entertaining as it is effective. That’s not just my opinion, but a critical analysis of the writing’s style, tone and content. As far as characterization goes, it’s gotta be some of the most efficient TV writing on air today.
And if you can’t tell the difference and pick up on that, you must be a redneck idiot yourself who’s just offended that this is what the rest of the country thinks of you.
Whew! So much hatred for one man’s opinion.
Okay, here’s some more opinion: EB&D’s problem is that satire is supposed to be funny, not (forced) ignorant. This ain’t satire, folks. For an animated definition of “satire”, watch Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert.
Its not satire and its not forced or ignorant. Its an over the top mock of the egocentric athlete and or celebrity combined with the artistic expression of minds like Will Farrell and other great “ad lib” comedians who have the freedom of being on HBO. If its not for you, I get it. Its not for everyone. Just like I wouldn’t be caught watching “the office”.
i completely agree, thinking about it to much is completely retarded you should enjoy the acting talent and comedy of it.
i have one question: how long has has that stick been residing in your ass?
@American Idol
“Please, TV-watching audience, get a grip” and “You should all be ashamed” are not opinions.
Paid Endorsers? Are you kidding me? What do you watch, Dances with Stars? I, along with several other 30 something, well off individuals all enjoy this show. Its so absurdly funny, almost every scene is a laugh. HBO/ Showtime have the best shows on TV. This particular show is not for the weak. If you aren’t a real comedy fan, it might be a bit aggressive. I was hooked from the opening scene.
Like most everyone on here, I will miss the old characters but as I’m thinking about it, it makes perfect sense. Based on the direction season one went, this is the best option. Season three (or the end of season two) will end up back with April and family. I think that most likely season two will be it for the show as it was only intended to be a short story. Congrats to McBride, he will be a household name soon enough.
Worst show ever? Judging from your name American Idol you obviously are not getting the jokes here. You’re mental. Go watch Jon and Kate and get a grip.
This is to anyone who doesn’t think EB&D isn’t funny. It is better than any comedy on premium cable, period. So suck my dick and lick my balls, everyone.
@ American Idol.
You’re fucking out
why are you posting on this page if you hate it so much AI? You like to start fires? EB&D is on HBO in case you forgot. Do all rednecks have HBO? How dare you compare this to the “reality” garbage that keeps getting rehashed over and over on networks like MTV, VH1, FOX, etc. thanks to their viewers who appear even less intelligent than your idea of a redneck imo. I’ve pegged you as one of these morons, (American Idol! HA, thats YOU) since you can’t distinguish the difference between the screen-play and comedic genius of EB&D to that of your basic cable-crap show. Bottom Line: EB&D is in and YOU’RE FUCKIN OUT!
If you hate this show so bad why are you bothering to write such a wordy comment on an article about the show? That means you took the time to find this article and complain about it even though, since you hate the show, you’ve probably only seen a couple episodes at best. Also your screen name is american idol which is a true testament to the fact that you enjoy the lamest programming on tv.
You’re a god damn fool and obviously don’t have a sense of humor
you are the only person Ive heard of to not like it and I don’t believe you b/c why would you seek out an EBnD site to comment on it if you don’t like. You probably own cinemax or something. Nice try.
just because your still living with your parents and your favorite show Mork and Mindy got cancelled you dont have to be a big P$^@Y!!
this person is merely a prude. He probably wears flip flops with his e-wok costume heading to gen con for a 12 hour card trading game. This dipshit probably thinks everyone loves raymond is the most comedic thing on television. Shine on You Crazy Light Saber!
I want this, NOW.
“Eastbound and Down” without the break-out star of Katy Mixon, means no need to renew my HBO, unless I wanna see debra winger (which I do). No Katy Mixon means-no thanks on season2….what a shame
That’s hilarious. Katy Mixon is why you watch this show?!?
WHAaaat?
She got dumped, last season, and it was hilarious.
“suspicious one-line ramblings from (obviously) paid endorsers”?
Meh. I´m writing from South America just to express how AWESOME this show is.
April is f’n out? damn.. BUT KENNY IS COMING BACK!!!!!
best comedy show ever! can’t wait!
Nick Nolte or Gary Busey should play his dad!!
That is officially the greatest idea ever!
AWESOME idea!!! Producer’s take note.
Gary Busey!! Greatest idea ever!
that would be f**king awesome havy Busey play his dad. you should be part of the casting crew. Awesome!!
Sounds like an amazing plot with sooo many possibilities! I love the humor of the show. It’s the same kind of hilarity that’s on tedwilliamshead.com!!!
hmmm…can you really call six, thirty-minute episodes “a season” ? Hope they spent more than a week making season 2. Could be genius.
Clegg on the reg
Ha! I see what you did there.
Look bit, Ima bout to freak you up wit some truth. Jeff Bridges “The Dude” character would make a good ‘daddy’ addition. Funniest show on cable… hurry up, already!
Was that Katy Mixon in the topless scene or did she opt for a body double?
Was kind of hoping KP would end up in Japan, but a Mexican interlude makes more sense. Season 3, perhaps.
EB&D with only two original characters…. I don’t know about that decision. Half the charm of the series were the characters, ESP april!! But I will have faith, don’t fail us now!
As long as Danny doesnt listen to his new exec friend Matt Reilly, he should be fine
