The trailer for the approaching second season of Veep somehow manages to find a way to build drama-like suspense while also working in phrases like "meme-ma'am" and "shituation room." Only in Veep! The road to power certainly is a bumpy ride, but it's one Selina Meyer is willing to take if it means getting the job done. Of course, she may have to do it by trading insults, having her "intelligence" (or intel) questioned, and occasionally stumbling along that bumpy road. But that's what this political comedy is all about, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus carries it well.
The trailer gives us our first good (and funny) look at the series' second season, following the poster, which shows Meyer sound asleep in a meeting, and the hero walk teaser, which has the leads on the move until they're stopped in their tracks by the big cheese. All signs point to more challenges for Selina Meyer as she continues to tackles the duties of vice-presidency and attempts to earn herself some respect and credibility along the way.
Created by Armando Iannucci and Simon Blackwell, Veep stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the U.S. Vice President. Louis-Dreyfus is joined by Anna Chlumsky, Tony Hale, Matt Walsh, Timothy Simons, Reid Scott, and Sufe Bradshaw. Season 2 premieres Sunday, April 14 at 10:00 p.m. ET on HBO.
