The latest comedy series from HBO, Vice Principals, is set for its debut in Asia on 18 July at the same time as it airs in the US.
Episodes will be shown exclusively on HBO each Monday at 10.30am Singapore-time (with a same day prime time encore at 10.30pm) in 23 territories across Asia. Where available, it will also be available on Internet streaming platform HBO Go.
Created by Ben Best, along with Eastbound & Down’s creators Danny R McBride and Jody Hill, Vice Principals centres on North Jackson High School. The series starts as the long-time high school principal (played by Bill Murray) steps down, and ambitious vice principals Neal Gamby and Lee Russell both set their sights on the vacated position.
“Knowing that Danny and Jody were going to be bringing Neal Gamby and Lee Russell into the world made retiring Kenny Powers a little bit easier,” said Amy Gravitt, executive vice president, HBO Programming. “Nobody else creates characters like these two. We are so proud that HBO is their home and we can’t wait for everyone to see their take on high school.”
Joining McBride and Hill as executive producer and director on the show is long-time collaborator, David Gordon Green.
Vice Principals also stars Kimberly Hébert Gregory (Devious Maids) as Dr Belinda Brown and Georgia King (The New Normal) as English teacher Amanda Snodgrass.
“Finally, a tale of the unsung hero in every child’s education,” said co-creator Danny R McBride. “No one will look at high school administrators the same again.”
