VIDEO: Sneak Peek - 'Shutdown' Episode of HBO's VEEP

On the next episode of HBO's VEEP titled 'Shutdown,' the government shutdown is on and furloughs are in full effect.  The series  seventh Season 2 episode airs (10:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO. Get a sneak peek below!

Created by Armando Iannucci (Oscar(R) nominee for co-writing "In the Loop"), VEEP stars Emmy(R)-winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer, who becomes Vice president, only to discover the job is nothing like she expected, but everything she was warned about.

VEEP follows the whirlwind day-to-day existence of Vice President Meyer as she puts out political fires, juggles a busy public schedule and demanding private life, and defends the president's interests, even as she tries to improve her dysfunctional relationship with the chief executive.

The returning ensemble cast of the show also includes Tony Hale ("Arrested Development") as Gary, Vice President Meyer's right-hand man; 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, an enterprising but annoying White House liaison; and Sufe Bradshaw ("Overnight") as Sue, Vice President Meyer's executive assistant.
