HBO’s upcoming series Vice Principals already sounded promising before today, mostly because it is the follow-up to Eastbound & Down by Danny McBride and Jody Hill, and it will again see McBride in a position of authority over impressionable teenagers, as he was in Season 1 of Eastbound. It has now jumped from promising to potentially incredible because WALTON GOGGINS.

Created by Eastbound & Down duo McBride and Jody Hill, Vice Principals tells the story of a high school and the people who almost run it, the vice principals. McBride stars as Neal Gamby, the divorced vice principal in charge of discipline at the school.

Goggins, who is currently wrapping the final season of FX critical darling Justified, will co-star as Lee Russell, the vice principal of curriculum at Lincoln High who is a conniving politician that enters into an unholy alliance with Gamby. [THR]

You had me at “Kenny Powers and Boyd Crowder entering into an unholy alliance.” Run for cover. This just got real.
