Eastbound & Down premieres on Comedy Central

October 29th, 2010

Eastbound & Down | Season 2 - NZ Premiere Friday 29 October @ 9 pm

Grab your six-pack (of beer obviously) and slide into your moulded groove on the couch because Kenny Powers is back for a second inning on Comedy Central!

At the end of the first season, Kenny had been dropped by the Tampa Bay Rays, dumped his girlfriend and was last seen driving away with a worried look on his face. In Season Two, hiding from his problems, Kenny finds himself holed up in a small town in Mexico where he ends up joining the local baseball team. New additions to the cast include Michael Peña as the owner of the local team and Ana de la Reguera as Kenny’s new love interest. Stevie Janowski manages to track Kenny down and together they make plans for Kenny’s inevitable comeback - one brew at a time. You have to admit, the best thing about being Kenny Powers is being Kenny Powers.
