The Veep cast is reuniting!
The cast of the Julia Louis-Dreyfus-led comedy will reunite for a virtual table read in order to help get out the vote for the Georgia runoff elections in January, they announced in a statement Tuesday (November 24).
Stars Anna Chlumsky, Reid Scott, Sam Richardson, Tony Hale, Timothy Simons, Clea DuVall, Matt Walsh, Gary Cole and Sarah Sutherland are set to join, with showrunner and executive producer David Mandel also participating in the reunion.
“The cast of Veep had so much fun coming together during the election that we were looking for something else to do,” they joked in the announcement.
“Luckily, there are two runoff elections in Georgia so we decided to get together again and bring some friends. And if this goes well, we are hoping for a second runoff, maybe in March.”
They will be doing a virtual table read of the Emmy Award-winning episode “Mother,” which also played out similarly to this year’s presidential election.
“2020 won’t stop ripping off VEEP, so we had to do something about it,” Julia said on her Instagram.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus was also the host of the fourth and final night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention and she made some digs at President Trump while moderating the evening. Find out what she said!

Julia Louis-Dreyfus keeps it bright in an orange dress while striking a pose at the HBO FYC screening and reception for her hit series Veep held at the Landmark Theaters on Tuesday evening (August 20) in Los Angeles.
The 58-year-old Emmy-winning actress was joined at the event by her co-stars Tony Hale, Sarah Sutherland, Sam Richardson, Anna Chlumsky, Gary Cole, Timothy Simons, Clea DuVall and writer-director David Mandel.
At the event, Julia explained that working on Veep allowed her to direct her attention toward creating something great instead of getting lost in her cancer battle: “I’ve had a lot of personal challenges, losses, dear ones in my family, my own battle with cancer,” she reflected (via ET), explaining that she doesn’t know how she would have handled it all “had I not had this really close intimate relationship with all of these people.”
“We linked arms and we tried to do the most joyful funny thing possible as a team,” Julia added. “It was like being on a sports team… and that was the most buoying thing, to constantly be coming back to. It really helped me. It gave me something to laser focus on during my illness, and I needed to laser focus [on something] beyond my illness, so it was a life saver.”

Stephen later welcomed the ensemble cast onto the show as guests, including all the participants in the cold open as well as Sarah Sutherland and Clea DuVall – Watch more after the cut!
