HBO's "Eastbound & Down," which stars Danny McBride as self-destructive former pro pitcher Kenny Powers, has received the green light for a fourth season.
HBO has picked up the series for an eight additional episodes.
The pick-up comes as something as a surprise, as it was widely believed that last year's third season would be its last, with co-creator Jody Hill admitting, "we always pictured the show as lasting three seasons. It's a kind of trilogy ... We think it's going to be the last one, but never say never."
