She's broken the 'Seinfeld' curse once before, but can she do it again? Julia-Louis Dreyfus ('Seinfeld', 'The New Adventures of Old Christine') is set to star in her own HBO original comedy series, 'Veep'. Dreyfus won an Emmy in 2006 for her lead role on 'The New Adventures of Old Christine', breaking the rumored Seinfeld curse. Since the end of the hit 90's show, none of the lead actors had had a successful run as a lead on a series until Louis-Dreyfus. Now, she is starring as the newly elected Vice-President of the United States, Selena Meyer, who finds out the job isn't exactly what she bargained for. Supporting Louis-Dreyfus is 'Arrested Development' funny man Tony Hale. The series had been filming earlier this year in the Washington D.C. and Baltimore areas however it is not set to hit your screens until Fall 2012.
Personally, I'm very excited for Louis-Dreyfus' return. Having the series air on HBO will give her greater range and the ability to explore the character in a different way then being on one of the major networks. I think viewers will be able to see a different side of her, that is maybe more similar to how she is off-screen. In personal interviews, Louis-Dreyfus comes across as funny and outgoing with a bit of a raunchy side that can hopefully be channeled through Selena Meyer. Stay tuned for more updates about this project.
