HBO’s ‘Veep’ Will Be Ending After It’s Seventh Season — NO!
Veep has been making me laugh for so long, but all good things must come to an end (as they say). The epic HBO Emmy-winning show is ending after its seventh season.
“The decision to bring Veep to a close at the end of next season is bittersweet,” said HBO president of programming Casey Bloys said in a statement. “We love the show and everyone involved but respect the producers’ choice to bring Selina Meyer’s journey to its conclusion after an extraordinary run of critical and award-winning acclaim. Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ comedic brilliance infused Selina with a dynamic presence and a vibrant wit which will ensure her a place in the history of television’s most iconic comedic characters. We look forward to producing the seventh and final season.”
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, its star Julia Luois-Dreyfus said she clearly saw it coming.
“It became clear that this season should be the last season,” she said. “We don’t want to repeat ourselves or wear out our welcome. The story has a finality to it that feels end-of-series.”
