HBO’s Veep is returning for season two, debuting the first of 10 brand new episodes on April 14, 2013 at 10pm. Emmy Award-winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus leads the cast of the critically acclaimed comedy series created by Armando Iannucci and co-starring Tony Hale, Anna Chlumsky, Reid Scott, Matt Walsh, and Timothy C. Simons.
 
And as the second season premiere approaches, HBO has revealed the details for season two and an April 2013 episode guide.
 
The Plot:
 
With midterm elections looming, Vice President Selina Meyer is scoring higher ratings than the president in several popularity polls, which she hopes will boost her influence and help her curry favor with the chief executive. But as she knows all too well, even the most banal action can set off a ripple effect that has unexpected, far-reaching – and often disastrous – consequences.
 
Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays Selina Meyer who becomes vice president, only to discover the job is nothing like she expected, but everything she was warned about.
 
Veep follows the whirlwind day-to-day existence of Vice President Meyer as she puts out political fires, juggles a busy public schedule and demanding private life, and defends the president’s interests, even as she tries to improve her dysfunctional relationship with the chief executive.
