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.”The six-episode first season of Eastbound & Down, which concluded in March, inspired critical praise. Entertainment Weekly described the show as “a winner about a real loser,” while the New Yorker observed, “Kenny Powers will live on in our minds after he’s left the screen.” The executive producers are Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Chris Henchy, Jody Hill, Danny McBride and Ben Best.
