Of the upcoming season of “Veep,” Louis-Dreyfus also shared on the red carpet that she’s shed quite a few tears through the experience and that fans can expect the very best from her character.
“Selina Meyer is going to try to make a run for the presidency, yet again. She’s been veep. She’s been the president. She wants to be the president again. But it’s extreme this season. We definitely push the edge of the envelope, and it’s going to get pretty raucous,” said Louis-Dreyfus.
Long live Selina and Julia.
