Amateur baseball. High school administration. And now, televised ministry.

If you can imagine it, it’s three points in an ever expanding Danny McBride-HBO universe (including Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals) that paints an always entertaining, but razor sharp satirical portrait of America.

Danny McBride’s latest project The Righteous Gemstones just got a series order at the premium cable network and will feature him squaring off against John Goodman within a family of a televangelists. Of course, they wheel and deal in greed as much as they do with “the good book”. 

We’ll be looking forward to when this premieres, we’re guessing sometime later next year.

Now, we can’t help but wonder if there ever will be any crossing over between McBride’s shows (even if it’s only some one-off sketch released online).
