Selina Meyer is heading back to the West Wing — only this time, as a scorned ex-president.
In this sixth season of HBO's Veep (Sundays, 10:30 ET/PT),
"you'll see her in an office, and you will in fact see her in the White House," says Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays her. "Not as president, needless to say, but she will be making a visit or two to that building."
When Veep returned April 16, the incorrigible Selina was floundering a year after a knotty election tie ousted her from the Oval Office. With her team largely dispersed — save for her bedeviled bagman Gary (Tony Hale) — Selina now calls a cruddy office in the Bronx home base, where she manages her charitable Meyer Fund for Adult Literacy (and AIDS) with her financially endowed daughter Catherine (Sarah Sutherland) and ex-body double Marjorie (Clea DuVall), now Catherine's wife.
When her idea to run for president again is shot down by family members and advisers, Selina becomes feverishly obsessed with what's next.
"The idea of somehow not being relevant or in the political zeitgeist is a nightmare for her," Louis-Dreyfus says. "She's very ambitious and power-driven and egocentric, so trying to stay alive as a contender is her utmost desire."
Undaunted, she raucously dives into a handful of legacy projects that will be explored in upcoming episodes, such as establishing a presidential library and writing her memoir.
