It appears the same thing happened with this show, the Prez. drops out and Louis-Dreyfus character is now running for President.
Art imitates life, or the other way around, but Hollywood has never crafted a Trump like candidate before.
It wouldn't be believable, until it is.
Vice President Harris’s jump into the 2024 White House race has seemingly generated new interest in “Veep,” with viewership of the show up more than 300 percent this week.
American viewership of the first season of the HBO political spoof was up 353 percent Monday, compared to the previous day, according to entertainment data company Luminate.
Viewers binged on 2.2 million total minutes of the series on MAX Monday, compared to Sunday when 486,000 total minutes were viewed, Luminate said, citing its streaming viewership data.
Viewership for Season 1 remained steady on Tuesday, with another 2.2 million minutes watched.
A spokesperson for HBO didn’t immediately respond to ITK’s request for comment.
The audience boost for the series — which starred Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a sometimes-bumbling fictional vice president and her unlikely ascent to the Oval Office — coincided with President Biden’s announcement that he was withdrawing his reelection bid. Biden said Sunday that he would no longer run for president and endorsed Harris.
