Just marathoned the entire series this week. Hilarious and a very worthy successor to The Thick of It, plus as an American I appreciate being able to understand most all of the references.

Weighing in on what next season is going to look like: I'm thinking that it's going to pick up after a couple more months and Selina's hopes of winning the Primaries are dashed, and come July/August she's forced to, once again, run as Vice President under either Chung or Thornhill, hence how they can keep the title.

They've started shooting S4 recently.

First bit of casting news that I've heard: Sam Richardson Upped To Regular On ‘Veep’

 

[Dany]

fantastic, he was great last season

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Great news! I love that guy.

 

[slit]

I love the show, but how can they still call it Veep, when she's no longer Veep? Shouldn't it change to POTUS?

 

[BigAT]

That's good, Richard was fantastically awful in all of his appearances last season.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Nope gotta get more Roger Furlong.

I hate you for reminding me we are still several months away from the news season. I didn't realise they shot it so well in advance.

Larry David really needs to get off his lazy ass ang give us more Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Jessie Ennis Joins ‘Veep'

- EW: Hugh Laurie heading to 'Veep'

Hugh Laurie is White House bound.

The British actor, best known for his two-time, Golden Globe-winning turn as the title character on House, is joining Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Veep, EW has confirmed.

The HBO political comedy left off with vice president Selina Meyer (Louis-Dreyfus) ascending to the oval office when POTUS resigned to take care of his wife. The show is now heading into its fourth season.

Details are unknown about Laurie’s role at this time, but with Meyer in charge, at least for the time being, someone might fill the role of vice president. Something to consider…

 

[Dany]

Spoiler

I actually care a lot.

Holy shit.

- EW: Hugh Laurie heading to 'Veep'

[TimeLike]

Amazing news. Didn't think the show could get better.

 

[Mr. F]

Going to be amazing, can't wait.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

- EW: Hugh Laurie heading to 'Veep'

Hell yes!

Whoa awesome!

holy shit megaton <3

now we wait

 

[Mr.Swag]

Such an underrated show. Literally gets better with each season.

 

[Santiako]

Holy shit, what a get for the show.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm not gonna lie, since the show ended I watch random House episodes from time to time just to get my hugh laurie fix.

 

[Vyer]

That's awesome. Season can't get here fast enough

 

[Clevinger]

- EW: Hugh Laurie heading to 'Veep'

YES YES YES

 

[Perfect Blue]

Now all I need is season 3 on blu-ray.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I'm not gonna lie, since the show ended I watch random House episodes from time to time just to get my hugh laurie fix.

It's really a shame he never won an Emmy for House. He was fantastic, iconic even, in the role.

 

[Dany]

It's really a shame he never won an Emmy for House. He was fantastic, iconic even, in the role.

Yep. He was glorious for the entirety of those 10 seasons. I miss him.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Yep. He was glorious for the entirety of those 10 seasons. I miss him.

I kind of wish Fox would bring the show back as an "event series" like they did with 24.

Fantastic news

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It's really a shame he never won an Emmy for House. He was fantastic, iconic even, in the role.

at least he got a couple golden globes but yeah he definitely should have won, especially when the show was in its prime.

 

[SyNapSe]

Great news with Laurie joining the cast. I can see him fitting in perfectly
Perhaps it'll give it a bit of ratings push or new viewers? The show deserves it

 

[Sai-kun]

Did we ever get a gif of "Let's throw cum! Let's throw cum!"?

 

[War Peaceman]

I kind of wish Fox would bring the show back as an "event series" like they did with 24.

He wouldn't do it. It was a struggle to get him signed up for that long.

Hugh Laurie is the best, I've been a fan since... Jeeves and Wooster maybe? This is fantastic, incredible news.

 

[lamaroo]

Know who would be awesome on Veep?

Jon Hamm.

 

[Dany]

He would just ham it up.

 

[BigAT]

Know who would be awesome on Veep?

Jon Hamm.

He was pretty great whenever he did a guest spot on 30 Rock.

 

[lamaroo]

He was pretty great whenever he did a guest spot on 30 Rock.

Yeah he's great in comedic roles. I hope he gets some good material on Parks and Rec.

Hey peeps there is a quick glimpse of selina's ugly short hair and hugh laurie in the HBO 2014/2015 promo thing. This was basically it:

 

[MetalFearSolid]

SO LTTP but Laurie is going to be in Veep hell yeah..

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Hey peeps there is a quick glimpse of selina's ugly short hair and hugh laurie in the HBO 2014/2015 promo thing. This was basically it:

Hugh Laurie!

 

[Mr.Swag]

I kinda like her short hair. Then again I love her

 

[Dany]

She looks stunning, as does he.

 

[Loke13]

Wait people don't like the short hair? I think it looks great.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

She is still good looking but I always loved how she looked so great for her age but the short hair just makes her look older. But on the show I guess that's what they're going for.

 

[JDSN]

I wonder if they are gonna turn Laurie on a Tucker-like character, but then again Furlong already plays that role.

I'm a big Game of Thrones fan, but I'm actually looking forward to the return of Veep more this year than GoT. Daniwah!

 

[Col WillieSharp]

Wait people don't like the short hair? I think it looks great.

Ben hated the hair. That was one of my favorite bits last year. Weeks after anyone else cared about Selina's pixie-cut, he was still making elf jokes, mostly to amuse himself, I think.
