Sky Atlantic's Declaration of Independence: Enjoy Every Episode of Veep - Including Fourth Series Debut - On Demand
Sky Atlantic celebrates the Fourth of July by giving customers the freedom to enjoy every episode of Veep on demand through Sky Box Sets, marking UK viewers’ first opportunity to see the new, fourth series ahead of its run on the channel from 15 July.
Taking a sharp, satirical look at the insular world of Washington politics, Armando Iannucci’s Emmy® nominated and Writers Guild Award winning HBO comedy follows the whirlwind day-to-day existence of Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus in her Emmy®-winning role) as she puts out political fires in her public and private life.
The ensemble cast includes Emmy® winner Tony Hale (Arrested Development) as Selina’s devoted bodyman Gary; Emmy® nominee Anna Chlumsky (In The Loop), as Amy, her chief of staff; Matt Walsh (Outsourced) as Mike, Selina’s weathered spokesperson; Reid Scott (My Boys) as Dan, an ambitious political aide Dan; Timothy C. Simons (Days Together) as clueless White House liaison Jonah; and Sufe Bradshaw (Prison Break) as Meyer’s wry executive assistant Sue.
Garnering widespread critical acclaim, Radio Times declared Veep “the tautest, snappiest, most vicious sitcom on TV” while The Daily Telegraph said of the show “US politics has rarely been skewered so effectively” and The Times called it “gloriously funny.”
Created by Armando Iannucci, the fourth series of Veep is executive produced by Iannucci, Chris Addison, Simon Blackwell, Christopher Godsick, Stephanie Laing, Frank Rich and Tony Roche; and produced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Writers, directors and producers over the show’s first three series also include Chris Morris, Tritram Shapeero, Sean Gray, Roger Drew, Ian Martin, William Smith and Jesse Armstrong.
Veep forms part of Sky Atlantic’s strategy to bring smart, distinctive and authored comedy exclusively to Sky customers.
The complete Veep box set (series 1-4) is available exclusively on demand with Sky Box Sets from 4 – 15 July. The latest, fourth series of Veep begins its 10 episode run on Sky Atlantic on 15 July.
