Briefly: HBO has just announced that Veep season 3 is a go.

Veep season 2 premiered on HBO in April and showed a slight uptick in the ratings this past Sunday with its newest episode. Game of Thrones‘ strong season 3 ratings may’ve helped give the show a boost.

Veep was created by Armando Iannucci and stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Vice President Selina Meyer. The show also stars Tony Hale as Gary, Vice President Meyer’s right-hand man; Anna Chlumsky as Amy, her chief of staff; Reid Scott as Dan, an ambitious political aide; Matt Walsh as Mike, Vice President Meyer’s weathered spokesperson; Timothy C. Simons as Jonah, an enterprising but annoying White House liaison; Sufe Bradshaw as Sue, Vice President Meyer’s executive assistant; and Kevin Dunn as Ben, the president’s chief of staff.

Veep season 3 will presumably premiere in April 2014.
