Apple TV+ Reaches Multi-Year Agreement With 'Veep' and 'Seinfeld' Star Julia Louis-Dreyfus

I’ve seen her off camera a few times, and I’m always amazed at how she can play such hilarious, kind of crazy characters to a T, but in real life be so incredibly unlike them in any way and an incredibly serious and fastidious person instead. Eh but then I suppose DeNiro isn’t really a serial killer either...

Dont know, maybe for American audiences. Will have to see.

Of all the Seinfeld alumni, she has had the most consistent hits post Seinfeld

JLD is amazing. She's also fantastic in that show. I love everything she does.

Yay, more shows with a strong female lead!

Yay, more shows with talented funny people, regardless of gender!

Apple is KILLING it! SO awesome! I can guarantee now that Apple will announce a TON on Sunday - they are making a ton of moves in the run-up to Sunday, and will use these as the appetizer to the rest. I love how they are utilizing the Critics Week to get announcements made.

Now, if they could take over the Dark Tower series that Amazon passed on, that would be too good.

i would be excited to watch that.

MR, thank you for putting 'Veep', which is more her accomplishment, first in the headline.

That makes a ton of sense in a way. She's the one Seinfeld cast member that went on to have multiple successes after Seinfeld. You can tell she's a smart person.

Kramer, George, and Newman. Have a spin-off with those misfits. I’d watch THAT!!!

More proof that Cook & Co. are Bored with Electronics & Software !

More proof that Apple (and Cook) are business savvy and diversified in its revenue streams. The companies like Apple ( example Amazon) that know you need a diverse product line to have longevity are the ones that will be around longer. Remember HP, Kodak, BlackBerry, Tile (oops - too soon?)

More funny!

More proof Tim Cook is an outstanding CEO and killing it in multiple categories for Apple.

There's very little benefit to securing acting talent. You need the writers.
She''s had an amazing career thanks to Larry David/Seinfield and Armando Iannucci's amazing writing talent - giants in comedy writing.
