‘Veep’ star’s character true to self until the end
PASADENA (Reuters) — Do not expect Selina Meyer to hold anything back in the upcoming final season of “Veep,” the show’s star Julia LouisDreyfus said on Friday.
Meyer, the self-centered and foul-mouthed former president and vice president at the center of the Emmy-winning HBO comedy, will be trying to work her way back into the White House when the show returns on March 31 for seven episodes.
“She is truer to herself, as true to herself as she can possibly be by the time this season ends,” Louis-Dreyfus told reporters at a Television Critics Association event. “I’ll leave it for you to determine whether or not it’s a good thing.”
A send-up of Washington power brokers, “Veep” has aired on AT&T Inc.’s HBO since 2012, but the show took a hiatus after Louis-Dreyfus began undergoing treatment for breast cancer in late 2017. The former “Seinfeld” star said last year she was cancer free.
