Telly’s Take
Last year, Veep was a top ten scripted HBO TV show. As a half-hour comedy, it’s cheaper to produce than big-budget dramas like Game of Thrones and Westworld. This time last year, then new showrunner Dave Mandel said that although he had an endgame in mind, he also had a couple more seasons of stories to tell. Provided HBO and the cast and crew can agree on money, at this point, if you asked me if the Veep TV show would be cancelled or renewed for season seven, I’d come down on the side of renewal. This show is so beloved, I can’t see it ending this year. Subscribe for free alerts on any Veep cancellation and renewal news.
