Veep is an American political satire comedy television series that aired on HBO from April 22, 2012, to May 12, 2019.[3] The series was created by Armando Iannucci. The series follows Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), the fictional Vice President of the United States, and her team as they attempt to make their mark and leave a legacy but often instead become mired in day-to-day political games.
Veep received critical acclaim and won several major awards, including seven consecutive nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, winning that award for its fourth, fifth, and sixth seasons. Its second, fourth, and sixth seasons won the Writers Guild of America Award for Television: Comedy Series, and its third season won the Television Critics Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy.
Louis-Dreyfus's performance won her six consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, two Critics' Choice Television Awards, a Television Critics Association Award, and five consecutive Golden Globe nominations. For his portrayal of Selina's personal aide, Gary, Tony Hale received six consecutive Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, winning in 2013 and 2015. Other members of the cast who received Emmy nominations include Anna Chlumsky (six nominations), Gary Cole (one nomination), Matt Walsh (two nominations), Martin Mull (one nomination), Hugh Laurie (one nomination), and Peter MacNicol (one nomination).
Veep is widely regarded as a landmark in political satire and is often cited among the best television comedies. In 2019, Veep was ranked 80th on The Guardian's list of the 100 greatest TV shows of the 21st century.[4] In 2021, BBC placed it 24th on its list of the best series of the century.[5] In 2022, the series was ranked 13th on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest TV shows.[6] In 2023, Variety included it at 26th on its own list of the greatest TV series of all time.[7]
