help Veep FAQ
Does Selina Meyer remain vice president throughout Veep?
No. Selina's pursuit and exercise of greater political power drives much of the story after the early vice-presidential seasons, so her office changes more than once.
How many seasons of Veep are there?
Veep ran for seven seasons on HBO from 2012 through 2019. Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars throughout as Selina Meyer, supported by Tony Hale, Anna Chlumsky, Matt Walsh, and Reid Scott.
Did Armando Iannucci create both Veep and The Thick of It?
Yes. Iannucci created Veep after making the British political satire The Thick of It and its film spin-off, In the Loop, although David Mandel later became Veep's showrunner.
Why does Gary Walsh carry such a large bag for Selina?
Gary, played by Tony Hale, is Selina's intensely devoted personal aide and keeps everything she might need in his shoulder bag. Their unequal relationship becomes one of the show's most important and increasingly dark character dynamics.
