McBride has tapped his gloriously daft former co-star (and TVLine Dream Emmy nominee) Edi Patterson to join him in his latest HBO comedy endeavor, TVLine has learned exclusively.
In Righteous Gemstones, McBride stars as Jesse Gemstone, the eldest son and “heir to the throne” of a world-famous televangelist family
“with a long tradition of deviance, greed, and charitable work, all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Patterson will play McBride’s onscreen sister Judy Gemstone, who resents her family for not giving her the same opportunities within the church as her siblings. Judy only wants an opportunity to stand on the stage with the rest of them on Sunday mornings.
As previously reported, Roseanne‘s John Goodman co-stars as the family’s patriarch Eli, who is “known the world over for his aggressive salvation techniques, his worldwide ministries, and his award-winning weekly television program.” Jesse “fancies himself a maverick in the ministry game, taking what Eli has built and expanding it for a more modern audience.”
The pilot will be written and directed by McBride, who’ll also serve as an executive producer along with his Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals collaborators Jody Hill and David Gordon Green.
In an interview with TVLine conducted shortly after Vice Principals’ series finale last fall, McBride raved about his experience working with Patterson. “The very first time I walked on set with Edi, I felt that same thing I felt when I acted with Steve Little in Eastbound & Down,” he shared with us. “[She] was just a kindred spirit… somebody who had a crazy f—-d-up sense of humor who is not afraid of anything and willing to kind of go far. She is just a force. I’ve been to a bunch of her improv shows and I’m just her biggest fan.”
Patterson’s TV credits also include recurring stints on The Last O.G. and Black-ish.

The school bell at North Jackson High rang for the last time Sunday as Vice Principals‘ brief-by-design two-season run came to a violent, bloody, riotous conclusion on HBO.
To quickly recap: After being unmasked as Gamby’s (co-creator/star Danny McBride) shooter, Ms. Abbott (the uproariously warped Edi Patterson) went on a gun-toting, fists-flying rampage, wounding both Russell (Walton Goggins) and Snodgrass (Georgia King) before letting loose an actual tiger on school grounds. The mascot ended up feasting on an already-wounded Russell, leaving him partially disfigured.
In the episode’s closing minutes, the action jumped ahead three months and found Gamby (now a middle school principal) and Snodgrass (now a published author) happily joined at the hip, and Russell raising his own special brand of hell as the regional manager for all Apricot Lane boutiques.
Below, McBride breaks down the finale’s biggest twists, explains his decision to wrap the series after just 18 total episodes, and reveals whether this is truly Gamby and Russell’s last hurrah.
TVLINE | Why only two seasons? And were you ever tempted to extend the series into a third season or beyond?
Before the cameras started rolling on the first episode, we had no ambition to ever do anything outside of [these 18 episodes]. But I got along with all these people so well and I had such a good time [making the show] that I have since thought, “What would I do if we continued it?” It might happen someday. But we really set out to kind of do something different with television. We approached [Vice Principals similar to] how feature film directors approach movies; it’d be foolish to make the same feature film over and over again… Ultimately, [the show] was made to be seen as one [nine-hour movie].
TVLINE | I thought for sure Abbott killed Russell when she shot him in the beginning of the episode. Did you ever consider having the bastard actually die?
We never considered having him die. It didn’t seem right to murder Russell. As much of a motherf—– as he is, I think it’s almost a better punishment for him to have to really look at how far he’s fallen and to try to move forward.
TVLINE | Abbott really broke out in this final season. I loved the dynamic between her and Gamby. Did you and Edi instantly click?
The very first time I walked on set with Edi, I felt that same thing I felt when I acted with Steve Little in Eastbound & Down. [She] was just a kindred spirit… somebody who had a crazy f—-d-up sense of humor who is not afraid of anything and willing to kind of go far. She is just a force. I’ve been to a bunch of her improv shows and I’m just her biggest fan. When we wrapped this show I had such a good time working with her that the two of us sat down and wrote a script together [for a film] I’m hoping to direct and she’s going to be the lead. I’m stoked for people to see what she’s capable of.
TVLINE | We never did find out what became of Abbott. I assume she’s just rotting away in jail?
We [debated] how much to wrap up and how much to leave [ambiguous]. At the end of the day, I don’t really trust a story that is completely wrapped up and clean and neat. I like stories that have rough edges and are a little bit messy, because that reflects life. This was ultimately a show about these two men who wanted a job, and when the job gets filled the show is over. I think it’s more powerful to end the story when the author doesn’t just tell you exactly what happens to everyone and the audience is left to sort of imagine what goes down next.
TVLINE | Were there any tigers harmed in the making of this episode?
[Laughs] There were no tigers harmed. I think everybody was pretty disappointed on the set that tigers don’t really growl and do [scary] stuff. This tiger was about as friendly as you could be; he’d just sit there and smile at us. All the viciousness was done in [post-production].
TVLINE | It made sense narratively that Belinda [Kimberly Hebert Gregory] would have a smaller role in Season 2, but that didn’t make me miss her any less. Were you tempted to find ways to maybe shoehorn her into the story just to continue to take advantage of the Russell-Belinda-Gamby chemistry?
The fact that we knew [we were building] to an ending is what separates this show from other shows. It meant that we could double down on the dynamics of the show changing. We didn’t have to maintain a certain formula for the show to succeed. Actions have consequences. When people do stuff, everything doesn’t just go back to [the way it was] in the next episode. People are growing and changing and making terrible choices and good choices and it affects the narrative… Kimberly was incredible to work with, and the [Russell-Belinda-Gamby] dynamic was some of the most fun I’ve ever had. But that was the nature of what this story was. These two guys had to succeed in this vile act that they set out to do or else the rest of the story doesn’t make sense.
TVLINE | Was it your goal in these final episodes to bring some element of redemption to Gamby and Russell?
No. We tried to be very careful not to do some sort of typical redemption [arc]. Even when Gamby had his most heroic moments — like when he’s rallying the teachers and the cafeteria workers and the bad kids to kind of topple Russell — it’s not a heroic moment at all. He had completely the wrong information. Ultimately, these guys are idiots. I think that they have the capacity for change, but I think it would be kind of boring and wouldn’t be as realistic if they just completely changed at the end. So we held off on totally redeeming them because I’m not sure these guys are totally redeemable. I think they probably still have a bit more of a price to pay. You just hope that they’re going to keep trying to go in the right direction.
TVLINE | I never forgave them for burning down Belinda’s house. And it still bugs me that Gamby didn’t intervene there. It almost seemed out of character that he would’ve participated in such a heinous act.
That was our shot across the bow. That was where we really wanted to let audiences know that nothing was going to be off limits. And it added to the idea of just making sure they never knew what was going to happen next. That’s [one of the reasons we] jumped back and forth between strange drama and odd humor; sometimes you’re not even sure what tone you’re going to get. It’s also about the audience knowing that these characters shouldn’t do these [terrible] things, and it’s painful having to watch them do it. I remember it was very hard to film the scene where [Gamby and Russell] finally take down Belinda Brown at the train tracks and show her the video. You could feel it in the scene how f—ed up it felt. You just want to like, “Oh, I wish that he would just stop this now.” But it’s crucial to the show to have that separation, because we’re not asking people to identify with these guys 100 percent and justify the things they do. We’re trying to make people invest in them and be severely disappointed when they don’t make the choices that they should.
TVLINE | In your gut, do you think you’ll ever revisit these characters someday?
I don’t know. I honestly don’t. I’m working on something brand new for HBO. It’s a different story with different characters. But I do like Vice Principals. So maybe a few years from now an idea will sort of click that makes sense. But, for now, that was the tale of Neal Gamby and Lee Russell.

The school bell at North Jackson High rang for the last time Sunday as Vice Principals‘ brief-by-design two-season run came to a violent, bloody, riotous conclusion on HBO.
To quickly recap: After being unmasked as Gamby’s (co-creator/star Danny McBride) shooter, Ms. Abbott (the uproariously warped Edi Patterson) went on a gun-toting, fists-flying rampage, wounding both Russell (Walton Goggins) and Snodgrass (Georgia King) before letting loose an actual tiger on school grounds. The mascot ended up feasting on an already-wounded Russell, leaving him partially disfigured.
In the episode’s closing minutes, the action jumped ahead three months and found Gamby (now a middle school principal) and Snodgrass (now a published author) happily joined at the hip, and Russell raising his own special brand of hell as the regional manager for all Apricot Lane boutiques.

This is the end for Neal Gamby (Danny McBride). The second season of Vice Principals is also its last. In his final hours at North Jackson High School, Gamby will search for the assassin who failed to finish him off in the riveting season one finale. With the help a suspect and sociopathic friend, Lee Russell (Walton Goggins), Gamby goes hunting.
Below, watch the Vice Principals season 2 trailer.
While season one was influenced by the films of John Hughes, season two is more in the vein of a Brian De Palma movie. Season one was already fairly dark in nature, but it looks like it’s about to get a little darker and more vicious. Vice Principals is a show in which there’s almost always conflict: Sometimes it’s ridiculous; sometimes it’s life-threatening. With Gamby and Russell, there’s always going to be some friction, chaos, and laughs but when they unite, things only seem to escalate.
More powerful than before, the two stars of the show will join forces to search for the fool who dared to try to take out Vice Principal Gamby. A huge mistake, as the shooter will probably learn in season 2 of Vice Principals.
Even after facing a near-death experience, Gamby doesn’t seem to have changed much. It might take more than a bullet to make him evolve, but I’m excited to see what Gamby “coming for payback” looks like. Based on the trailer for season 2, it looks fantastic: more unhinged, more silly, and more dangerous. As they search for the shooter, I’m happy to see Gamby and Russell can still find time for a beach day. Those two hanging out and starting fires is always entertaining, albeit sometimes repulsive. How they manage to bond and connect is always surprising and unsettling.
The tumultuous school year at North Jackson High continues and a new semester brings lots of changes. Gamby and Russell are about to learn that the only thing harder than gaining power is holding on to it, as the darkest comedy on television returns to finish what was started. Danny McBride (Gamby) and Walton Goggins (Russell) star in part two of HBO’s hit comedy series, created by McBride and Jody Hill and directed by David Gordon Green. McBride, Hill and Green are joined as executive producers by Jonathan Watson and Stephanie Laing. Also starring in VICE PRINCIPALS are Kimberly Hebert Gregory, Georgia King, Busy Phillips, Shea Whigham and Sheaun McKinney.
Vice Principals returns to HBO on September 17.

While the first season of Vice Principals was inspired by the films of John Hughes, season 2 of the HBO comedy is influenced by Brian de Palma. Jody Hill and Danny McBride‘s series is about to take a more sinister turn, as Mr. Gamby (McBride) takes matters into his own hands and looks for the person who shot him last season. One suspect is obvious, but season one of Vice Principals rarely went where we expected.
Below, watch the Vice Principals season 2 trailer.
The second season of Vice Principals is also its last. “The whole series is only 18 episodes and that’s it,” McBride explained to Variety. “We just wanted to make a really long movie. It’s one school year and a complete story. This was an old screenplay that Jody [Hill] and I wrote back in 2006. But we needed it to be longer so we added and reworked it and broke it up into 18 segments.” All 18 episodes were shot at once, so the reaction to season 1 didn’t influence season 2 at all. It’s pure McBride and Hill.
The critical reaction was mostly positive but a little mixed, which is not surprising considering the show’s humor – quite cruel and (hilariously) unpleasant at times – isn’t for everybody. It’s mostly about not very good people doing very bad things, but some of them, like Gamby, strive to do better, even if they have no clue how. As they did with Kenny Powers, Hill, McBride, and regular director David Gordon Green once again show a lot of love and empathy for their self-destructive protagonists.
Here’s the trailer for Vice Principals season 2, titled “Who shot Gamby?”
Few lessons seemed to have been learned following season one. Lee Russell (Walton Goggins) is the same Lee we met in season one. He seems like the one who would shoot Gamby, but there are other characters on the show who probably have plenty against Gamby. Maybe not enough motivation to kill him, but he did help possibly destroy Dr. Belinda Brown’s (Kimberly Herbert Gregory) career. Gamby doesn’t have a lot of friends on this show. The only person he can count on to always have his back, though? His ex-wife’s (Busy Phillips) fantastic, supportive-of-everyone husband, Ray Liptrapp (Shea Whigham). It’s great to see him back along with the rest of the Vice Principals characters. As horrifying as they can be – well, mostly just Gamby and Russell – they’re always watchable.
Vice Principals season 2 premieres on September 17.

HBO’s Vice Principals is a brilliant comedy gem just waiting to be discovered by an audience that can appreciate it. Jody Hill and Danny McBride‘s evil, pitch-black and surprisingly soulful comedy series didn’t leave much of an impression on pop culture at large when it debuted last year and that’s a shame. This feels like the culmination of their work together, taking what they learned on The Foot-Fist Way and Eastbound & Down and polishing it to perfection.
For the already initiated, the first Vice Principals season 2 trailer is here. For everyone else (especially those with a taste for crude, unpleasant, and emotionally unsettling comedy): you have some homework to do.
If you didn’t catch the first season, this teaser trailer isn’t going to make much sense. However, if you did watch all nine episodes of season 1, you know exactly why Danny McBride’s Neal Gamby is wearing war paint and vowing revenge. It’s a big cliffhanger for a show not nearly enough people have watched yet, so let’s just leave it at that for now.
While this teaser feels like it’s made out of footage shot only for marketing purposes, this series has proven so strange and so wild that I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this comes from an actual episode. You quickly learn to never expect anything traditional (or sane) from this show.
The first season of Vice Principals was built around a simple premise: two rival high school vice principals (McBride and the great Walton Goggins) decide to team up and destroy their school’s new principal after they are both passed over for the job. Things start dark and only get darker as their war against their boss escalates from simple pranks to violent crimes. McBride’s Neal Gamby struggles to maintain his tough guy exterior as things get increasingly out of hand. Goggins’ Lee Russell reveals himself to be a stone-cold sociopath and a skilled monster.
Like Hill’s other projects (including the astonishing and underrated Observe and Report), Vice Principals revels in bad behavior. But there’s a dark conscience lurking underneath the surface of this show, a sense of unease that permeates the characters on the screen before trickling into the audience, enveloping you in their guilt and rage. This is a great show and you should be watching it.
In any case, it will be over soon. Vice Principals was always intended to be a two-season series and the next batch of episodes will bring the show to a definitive conclusion. As for what we can expect from the new season, McBride previously told Uproxx “we were channeling a lot of John Hughes and ’80s teen comedy in the first season, and I feel like in the second season we start channeling a lot of Brian De Palma.” As the kids say: I can’t even. Bring it on.
Vice Principals season 2 premieres on September 17, 2017.
