Veep is a critically acclaimed American political satire comedy series that aired on HBO from 2012 to 2019. The show stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer, a power-hungry and hilariously ineffectual politician navigating the chaotic, backstabbing, and profane world of Washington, D.C..
Created by Armando Iannucci, the series focuses on Meyer's personal life and political career as she serves as the Vice President—and eventually the President—of the United States. Despite her high office, Meyer finds that her job is largely ceremonial and frustratingly stripped of any real authority.
