12 April 2017 TV Shows To Watch Instead Of Game Of Thrones

11. Veep - Season 6

Veep Selina Meyer
HBO

2017 could be a tough year for Veep. The outlandish political satire has been going strong for a number of years, but it seems almost impossible to compete with the real life political landscape in the U.S.

That's the challenge Veep will be aiming to rise to in its sixth season, and while it'll be difficult, you wouldn't bet against them pulling it off.

The story of Vice President, and subsequently President, Selina Meyer has been a firm Emmy favourite since its debut, including two consecutive wins for Outstanding Comedy Series and a remarkable five wins in a row for star Julia Louis-Dreyfuss.

Season 6 will be uncharted territory, with Meyer out of the White House. She'll be focusing on defining her legacy post-POTUS, and taking down a few of her political opponents as well.

Premiere Date: April 16
