Season 5 of the acclaimed comedy series created by Armando Iannucci finds Selina Meyer in the midst of a virtually unprecedented Electoral College tie – with her future as President coming down to only a few hundred votes. Selina finds herself spinning her wheels in D.C. as her staff continues their mission to make her seem presidential (even though she is the President) while fending off the ambitions of her charismatic Vice Presidential running mate who, through an obscure constitutional procedure, could end up being President. Veep continues to prove that in Washington, even the most banal decisions can have ripple effects – with unexpected and often hilarious consequences.

Reviews

"No show is funnier or saltier than this biting satire of the American political system, with jokes that are razor sharp, cut deep to the bone, and call to mind that old adage "it's funny because it's true."" – TV.com

“Showrunner David Mandel stays true to the sarcastic, unmerciful heart of the series and in doing so, sets the stage for what should be another entertaining and memorable season.” – AV Club

“Considering how easy it would have been for the series to take pot shots at any one of the presidential candidates, it was even more refreshing and commendable to see it remain focused on its own zany political circus.” – ScreenRant
