Over the course of this season’s ten episodes, Selina and her staff will set up an exploratory campaign office in D.C. and travel to Silicon Valley to raise money and to London to meet with heads of state, while Amy (Anna Chlumsky) and Dan (Reid Scott) vie to be Selina’s campaign manager.

Created and executive produced by Armando Iannucci, Veep’s stellar cast includes Tony Hale (Emmy® winner for his role) as Selina’s bodyman Gary; Anna Chlumsky (Emmy®-nominated for her role) as her chief of staff Amy; Matt Walsh (Hung) as Meyer’s spokesperson Mike; Reid Scott (My Boys) as ambitious political aide Dan; Timothy C.
