TV show description:
This dark comedy TV show takes place at the North Jackson High School, and revolves around the two people who almost run it — the Vice Principals. The series’ story is told over the course of one school year.
Neal Gamby (Danny McBride) is a divorced and angry vice principal who is in charge of discipline at the high school. Meanwhile, Lee Russell (Walton Goggins) is a conniving politician who’s the vice principal of curriculum.
They are mortal enemies and are in a power struggle because each wants to take over the job of Principal. The position is vacated by Principal Welles (Bill Murray) and outsider Dr. Belinda Brown (Kimberly Hebert Gregory) is brought in to replace him. This brings Neal and Lee together in an unholy alliance.
Other characters include new and naive English teacher Amanda Snodgrass (Georgia King); Neal’s ex-wife Gale (Busy Philipps) and her new husband, laid back Ray Liptrapp (Shea Whigham); and a perceptive cafeteria worker named Dayshawn (Sheaun McKinney).

What do you think? Do you like the Vice Principals TV show? Do you think there should have been a third season?
Although I would have loved a third season it sounds like two was always the plan-the show wasn’t “cancelled”. Danny McBride is was of the most talented out there. When you hate him you love to hate him, when you laugh at his character you feel compassion and sympathy as well. I’m sure he will be very busy. The rest of the artists who worked on this project are at the top of their game as well.
Really like the series and hope they renew it anyway.
yes
I hope they continue the show.
The show was funny and I was looking forward to its return
I meant to say: this show is so hilarious, I hope they reconsider!
This so is hilarious, I hope they reconsider!
BAD MOVE!!! This is one of the BEST shows I’ve seen in a long time!
seriously not returning?????? so bummed!!!!! loved this show!!!!
For once it is good to see a show that has a specific run outlined, without having to wait and see.
That allows it’s structure to be known from start to finish and unlike too many cancelled shows, have a true and meaningful ending.
The fact that McBride had this planned is also good to see and perhaps there is scope for more shows to have a known shelf life from heir inception.
It will make the show more enjoyable to watch, knowing that it has a scripted end.
I loved this show. We were waiting on the show return. Wow!!!!
Love this show it’s so funny. One of the shows I look forward to watch on Sundays. At least give it 5 more seasons, it is well deserved.
Love the show it deserves at least 5 seasons. Love the cast and think it should be advertised more. Characters are simply amazing…
I love this show. It’s no GOT but a solid, funny show.
Love, love love the show and all the characters. The two stars are hilarious. Only two seasons? A shame!
