About Veep

Veep is a political satire created by Armando Iannucci that aired on HBO from 2012 to 2019. It follows Selina Meyer, a self-absorbed, gaffe-prone Vice President — and later President — and her dysfunctional, backstabbing staff as they chase power, dodge blame, and lurch from one humiliating crisis to the next.

Famous for its blisteringly profane, rapid-fire dialogue and its bleak, unsentimental view of Washington, Veep is widely regarded as one of the sharpest political comedies ever made. Its ensemble of brilliant incompetents turned the machinery of power into a relentless engine of comic catastrophe.

Anchored by Julia Louis-Dreyfus's record six consecutive lead-actress Emmys, Veep is a modern comedy landmark.
