13 Most Exciting TV Shows Coming In Summer 2016

8. Vice Principals

Mr Robot OITNB BoJack

With Eastbound & Down now down and out, its creators Jody Hill and Danny McBride have created this new comedy series for HBO.

As the title suggests, it'll focus on the vice principals of a high school, played by McBride and the excellent Walton Goggins (Justified, The Hateful Eight).

McBride will play the divorced vice principal of dicsipline, while Goggins will be VP of curriculum, with the supporting cast including Busy Philipps (Freaks and Geeks) as the ex-wife of McBride's character. Will Ferrell and Bill f'ing Murray will cameo as well, so there's always that to look forward to.

HBO have been making some great comedies over the past few years (seriously, more people need to watch Silicon Valley), and there's enough talent here to suggest it could join that list.

Vice Principals gets underway July 17.
