VEEP Star Julia Louis-Dreyfus will Return to Film Final Season in August

Entertainment Weekly has reported that VEEP star Julia Louis-Dreyfus has completed chemotherapy for breast cancer, and if all goes as planned she will begin filming the final season of VEEP this August. Star Matt Walsh said that she has been participating in the table reads for the upcoming season.

"I would hide if I had an illness like that," Walsh said. "But she's very brave and also better for it because she's helped other women and other women have supported her. It's a really unique, brave thing she's doing just by being so out there with it."

Season 7 will start production at the end of the summer, and it will air in 2019.

Veep is an American political satire comedy television series, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, that premiered on HBO on April 22, 2012. The series was created by Scottish writer Armando Iannucci as an adaptation of his British sitcom The Thick of It. Veep is set in the office of Selina Meyer, a fictional vice president (and, later, president) of the United States. The series follows Meyer and her team as they attempt to make their mark and leave a legacy without getting tripped up in the day-to-day political games that define the American government.
