HBO to Premiere 10-Episode Season 6 of VEEP, 4/16

HBO has confirmed an April debut for the new season of VEEP, with the Emmy®-winning comedy series set to kick off its ten-episode sixth season SUNDAY, APRIL 16 (10:30-11:00 p.m. ET/PT).

VEEP stars Emmy® winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus as former vice president and president Selina Meyer. The cast also includes Emmy® winner Tony Hale, Anna Chlumsky, Reid Scott, Matt Walsh, Timothy Simons, Kevin Dunn, Gary Cole and Sam Richardson. Dave Mandel, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Frank Rich, Lew Morton and Morgan Sackett executive produce.

Former Senator Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) has accepted the call to serve as Vice President of the United States. The job is nothing like she imagined and everything she was warned about. VEEP follows Meyer and her staff as they attempt to make their mark and leave a lasting legacy, without getting tripped up in the day-to-day political games that define Washington. Created by Armando Iannucci (The Thick of It, In the Loop), the comedy is scripted but shot in an improvisational style.

The ensemble cast of the show also includes Emmy® winner Tony Hale ("Arrested Development") as Gary, VicePresident Meyer's right-hand man; Emmy® nominee Anna Chlumsky ("In the Loop") as Amy, her chief of staff; Reid Scott ("My Boys") as Dan, an ambitious political aide; Matt Walsh (HBO's "Hung") as Mike, Vice President Meyer's weathered spokesperson; Timothy C. Simons ("Days Together") as Jonah, a White House liaison turned political blogger; Sufe Bradshaw ("Overnight") as Sue, Vice President Meyer's executive assistant; and Kevin Dunn (HBO's "Luck") as Ben, the president's chief of staff.
