"Better Call Saul‘s" Rhea Seehorn and Michael McKean will help to send off "Veep's" Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), EW has learned exclusively.
Season 7 of the Emmy-winning and unforgiving political comedy sees former POTUS Selina Meyer kicking off her campaign for commander in chief once again.
Seehorn will play Michelle, the chief of staff of a rival candidate in several episodes. “She can be tense and is very devoted to her candidate,” says executive producer David Mandel, who also refers to Michelle as “Amy-like.”
McKean will play the governor of Iowa in one episode. Given the state’s early-bird importance in the election cycle, “people are coming in and wanting his endorsement for the presidency,” says Mandel, “and he’s trying to figure out what that can get him.”
Andy Daly (Review) will guest-star in multiple episodes as an upbeat campaign manager named Keith Quinn who joins Selina’s team. “When things start to go wrong on her campaign, this is the guy Selena thinks she wants,” teases Mandel.
Meanwhile, "Key & Peele" alum Keegan-Michael Key will play a politically connected reverend in South Carolina who has “enormous sway with the African-American vote, and needless to say Selena needs his support,” says Mandel.
