According to TVLine’s Kimberly Roots, HBO has renewed Eastbound & Down for an eight-episode fourth season. Here’s an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on the show’s renewal:

In last season’s finale – which drew 1.6 million viewers — former pro baseball pitcher Kenny finally got called back up to the big leagues. But he walked away from it all, faked his death and returned to Myrtle Beach to be with April and their son.

Speculation about the show’s demise ran rampant. McBride, though, always left the door open, saying in this HBO Q&A that “as long as [Kenny Powers] is alive, there are a lot of stories you could tell.”
