On the most recent episode of EW: The Show, Danny McBride and Walton Goggins stopped by to preview the HBO comedy’s return and explained why season 2 will be their last.

“I think I had been burned by too many TV shows that I invested in, where they started out great, and then, with each season, stuff changed, cast members left, and ultimately, at the end of the day, you don’t know if you saw the completed thing that the original creators had in mind,” said McBride, who also co-created the series.

“So we wanted to create a show that finality to it, that had a beginning, middle, and end, and give people a complete story.”




That said, McBride isn’t ruling out a return to the classroom down the road.

“This a completed tale, but I will say that I enjoyed working with Walton so much that who knows what could happen,” he said.

“What this show managed to do across 18 episodes,” says Kyle Fowle, “is not only tell a compelling, ludicrous story about how pursuing power for the sake of it is a morally empty thing to do, but also ask us to look in the mirror and examine our cruelty, our own ability to throw others under the bus if it means we get something in return. In its own weird way, Vice Principals is a map for navigating the messiness of human nature and the feeling that we’re all growing increasingly divided from one another. In essence, a show that understands that while nobody’s perfect, if you’re working towards being somebody better, you’re on the right track.”
