HBO have officially renewed popular Emmy award-winning comedies Silicon Valley and Veep for 2018.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus‘ triumphant sitcom return, and fodder for Malcolm Turnbull‘s election sloganeering, Veep, will be brought back for season seven, while the Mike Judge-helmed Silicon Valley will be starting up season five.
It was Silicon Valley actor Kumail Nanjiani, who stars in the upcoming Judd Apatow flick The Big Sick, out August 3, who broke the news:
Silicon Valley gets renewed. Season 5. It’s happening. You heard it here first. Unless you heard it somewhere else. Then you read it here.
— Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) May 25, 2017
Both series are at the midway point of their current season, due to finish up on June 25.
But the good news does come with some sad, with the additional news that TJ Miller will not be reprising his role of Erlich Bachman in Silicon Valley.
Assuming no change from the current state of affairs, you’ll be able to keep up to date with the Pied Piper guys, and with Selina Meyer, on Foxtel.
Get your snacks a-ready, and get Labor MP Graham Perrett a pre-emptive ice pack.
