Veep went off the air five years ago, but it’s held tight to its reputation for prescient comedy. Mostly, that’s because a show’s never going to go too far wrong depicting the majority of politicians as self-serving near-sociopaths, but it certainly helped when the 2024 election suddenly pivoted, paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to achieve a Selina Meyer-esque ascendancy to the Oval Office. (If hopefully not a Selina Meyer-esque presidency to follow suit.) Now, the cast of the HBO show is getting back together for a fundraiser table read of the episode where Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ character learns she’s going to be president—despite the best interests of the people around her, the nation, and, more often than not, herself—in support of Democratic candidates.
