Veep's Final Season Starts March 31; Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell Returns to Adult Swim

veep

Selina Meyer, the former vice president and president, is looking to get back to the Oval Office. Can she shake off years of flubs and scandals? The Emmy(R)-winning comedy series Veep kicks off its seven-episode, seventh and final season Sunday, March 31 from 10:30-11:00 p.m. ET/PT, exclusively on HBO. The show stars Emmy(R) and Screen Actors Guild Award winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer, who is hitting the campaign trail as she runs for president.

The ensemble cast of the show also includes: two-time Emmy(R) winner Tony Hale as Gary, her devoted bodyman; Emmy(R) nominee Anna Chlumsky as Amy, her right hand; Emmy(R) nominee Matt Walsh as Mike, her former spokesperson; Reid Scott as the ultra-ambitious Dan; Timothy C. Simons as Jonah Ryan, a former hanger-on turned congressman; Kevin Dunn as Ben, her campaign manager; Emmy(R) nominee Gary Cole as analyst Kent; Sam Richardson as unassuming staffer Richard; and Sarah Sutherland as Catherine, Selina's daughter. Recurring guest stars on the new season include: Clea DuVall as Marjorie, Catherine's girlfriend; Margaret Colin as Jane McCabe; Patton Oswalt as Teddy Sykes; and Brian Huskey as Leon West, Selina's spokesman.

The new season of Veep finds Selina Meyer trying to gain traction in early primary states, wooing uber-wealthy donors while navigating threats from primary challengers, including aide-turned-congressman Jonah Ryan. Selina's band of misfits is also back, except for Mike, who's been banished from her orbit and is now covering the presidential campaign, having been replaced by his ongoing nemesis in the press, reporter Leon West. Meanwhile, Amy is figuring out how she feels about her pregnancy vis-a-vis Dan, who seems unwilling to give up his playboy ways for fatherhood. Rounding out the team are ever-faithful bagman Gary, cantankerous Ben, numbers-obsessed Kent and staffer Richard.


Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell

The competition gets stiff as Gary and his co-workers look for inventive ways to top their recruiting game. Adult Swim, the #1 cable destination for young adults, announces the season four return of its original series Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell, a live-action workplace comedy set in Hell, premiering Friday, May 3r, 2019 at Midnight ET/PT. The show features Henry Zebrowski (Crashing, Wolf of Wall Street) as Gary, a kind-hearted demon working to stay out of trouble with his boss, Satan, played by Matt Servitto (Billions, Sopranos). Special guests include John Amos, Joey Fatone, Jon Glaser, and George Wendt. The quarter-hour series is a Williams Street production co-created by Casper Kelly (Too Many Cooks) and Dave Willis (Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Squidbillies). Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell premieres with back-to-back episodes beginning Friday, May 3 at Midnight and 12:15 a.m. ET/PT.
