Former senator Selina Meyer was a rising star in her party, a charismatic leader with White House potential. Then she became Vice President.
Emmy Award® winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld, The New Adventures of Old Christine) stars in Veep, a new HBO comedy series created by Oscar® nominee Armando Iannucci (In the Loop) that follows the whirlwind day-to-day existence of the Vice President as she puts out political fires, juggles a busy public schedule and demanding private life, and defends the president’s interests, even as she tries to improve her dysfunctional relationship with the chief executive. Veep hilariously skewers and satirizes both the nuances of everyday office politics and the political world in an environment where even the most banal decision – from a yogurt flavor to choice of the VP pet – can have unexpected and far-reaching consequences
