Hot off receiving season-best ratings on April 28 thanks in part to its Game of Thrones lead-in, HBO has decided to renew Veep for a third season. This is not exactly a surprise given viewership is better than the premium network’s other comedies at the moment, but it is seen as a vote of confidence going forward given that the channel’s first two runs of a series are automatic and anything afterwards has to ‘earn its place.’

That said, do not go into the year expecting the dreaded cancellation to creep up as it pretty much gives HBO what it wants–Emmys and exclusive dibs on some pretty recognizable small screen talent.
