List of episodes
The fifth season of the American political comedy television series Veep debuted on April 24, 2016, on HBO. The season has 10 episodes, each with an approximate runtime of 28 minutes. It was the first season with David Mandel as the showrunner and centers the lead-up to the resolution of the tied presidential election between President Selina Meyer and Senator Bill O'Brien. Veep was renewed for a season six shortly after the first episode debuted.
Selina hires a seasoned political advisor, Bob Bradley, to help her campaign contest the vote tally in Nevada. While Jonah runs a congressional campaign for an open New Hampshire seat, Mike and his wife prepare to adopt a Chinese baby, Selina begins dating a high-profile banker and Catherine reveals a new romantic partner. Her running mate Tom James plots to exploit a Congressional loophole that will secure his election as President. Selina causes an economic crisis when she accidentally tweets about her opponent and blames it on Chinese hackers. After a congressional vote fails to produce a winner, the Senate vote ends in tie broken by Vice President Doyle, who selects O'Brien's running mate, Senator Laura Montez.
The season received critical acclaim. It garnered nominations from the WGA Awards, TCA Awards, and the Saturn Awards, among others. Julia Louis-Dreyfus won her fifth consecutive Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
