SILICON VALLEY FOR A THIRD SEASON
LOS ANGELES, April 13, 2015 – HBO has renewed the comedy series VEEP for a fifth season and SILICON VALLEY for a third season, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming.
“VEEP and SILICON VALLEY are terrific series, and I’m immensely proud that they will return to HBO next year,” noted Lombardo. “Along with ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,’ both of which have already been renewed for 2016, they give HBO a stellar Sunday night like no other.”
Created by Armando Iannucci, VEEP stars Emmy® and Screen Actors Guild Award winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus as new President Selina Meyer, for whom even the most banal action can have unexpected and far-reaching consequences.

A collaboration between Mike Judge and Alec Berg, the show returned for its ten-episode second season Sunday, April 12 (10:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT).
Cast regulars for the second season include Thomas Middleditch, T.J. Miller, Josh Brener, Martin Starr, Kumail Nanjiani, Zach Woods, Amanda Crew, Matt Ross, Suzanne Cryer and Jimmy O. Yang.

Yes! Last night's premiere of Veep was amazing and I definitely need more of this show in my life.
ReplyDeleteWow so fast again :D
ReplyDeleteHell yes, Veep makes me laugh so much. It is a shame that Armando Iannucci is leaving at the end of this season but I trust the show to continue with its brutally funny insults.
ReplyDeleteYay.
ReplyDeleteWe got 7 more episodes of season 2 and we are sure to see guys return next year. Double win :D !
ReplyDeleteDon't watch Silicon Valley, but WHOOOOOOHOOO on the VEEP renewal. That show is perfection!
ReplyDeleteReally? Oh that worries me a bit...
ReplyDeleteYeah but his replacement David Mandel worked on Curb Your Enthusiasm so I have faith that the comedy we expect from the show will continue.
ReplyDeleteThat is somewhat comforting.
ReplyDeleteI thought so to and I'm sure some of the other writers will stick around.
ReplyDeleteYES!!! The S4 premiere of Veep and the S2 premiere of Silicon Valley were hilarious. Top notch. These two shows are at the top pf their game. Very happy about the renewals.
