Julia Louis-Dreyfus will begin filming a pilot for HBO titled VEEP in Baltimore next month.
The show is about a former senator, “who finds being vice president of the United States is nothing like she expected and everything everyone ever warned her about.”
Though the show is filming in Baltimore, it will be set in Washington, which is fine with local officials. “Maryland has had a long and successful relationship with HBO,” Gov. O’Malley said in a statement. “We are pleased to welcome HBO back to our state for another first-class filming experience.”
But Jack Gerbes, director of the Maryland Film Office, said that it is “premature” to talk about whether or not VEEP will be filmed entirely in Baltimore if HBO picks up the pilot. “Right now, we’re concentrating on making sure the production team and HBO have another great experience while shooting the pilot here,” he said.
The VEEP pilot will begin filming at the end of February, if you spot them shooting around town, let us know at olv@onlocationvacations.com.
