Vice Principals premiered on HBO on July 17, 2016. When the longtime principal of a suburban high school steps down, ambitious vice principals Neal Gamby and Lee Russell both set their sights on the vacated top spot - only to see new rival Dr. Belinda Brown enter the picture. Putting their mutual disdain aside, these bitter antagonists form an unholy alliance to bring down the outsider by any means necessary. Created by Danny R. McBride and Jody Hill, who also created HBO's "Eastbound & Down," along with Ben Best, Vice Principals tells the story of North Jackson High School and the two people who almost run it, the vice principals.
