— -- "Veep" will end after next season, HBO has confirmed.
Casey Bloys, the president of HBO programming, told ABC news in a statement that the show's producers made the decision to end the series.
The seventh and final season of the HBO show will air next year.
"The decision to bring 'Veep' to a close at the end of next season is bittersweet," he said. "We love the show and everyone involved but respect the producers' choice to bring Selina Meyer's journey to its conclusion after an extraordinary run of critical and award-winning acclaim."
Bloys continued, "Julia Louis-Dreyfus' comedic brilliance infused Selina with a dynamic presence and a vibrant wit, which will ensure her a place in the history of television's most iconic comedic characters. We look forward to producing the seventh and final season."
