Watch the 'Veep' Season 5 Trailer
Game of Thrones isn’t the only HBO show returning next month for a new season. Veep is also back April 24, and the network has released a suitably NSFW trailer. (Was it just a coincidence that it hit during Fox’s airing of The Passion and opens with Selina and Gary praying in a chapel? We’d like to think that was planned.)

Just shy of two minutes, the teaser finds Selina trying to look presidential amid the drama of a tied election. She’s also dealing with other problems: Chinese hackers, Jonah’s continued existence, trying to look proud of men who won a bronze medal in kayaking, locating her shoes after a tryst (with John Slattery), and a worsening economic crisis. As Hugh Laurie’s Tom James says of that last one, “We don’t put a plan into action tomorrow morning, and by Monday we’ll be Greece — the country, not the musical.”
