Julia Louis-Dreyfus is back for a third term in her Golden Globe nominated, Screen Actors Guild and two time Emmy-winning role of U.S. Vice President, 'Selina Meyer', and this time she means business as she's 'boldly running for President' and 'proudly standing for everything'.
This season's tagline really does sum up what this hilarious political comedy is all about, the double-dealing, the compromises and the utter ineptness and hustle of sleazy Washington D.C. politics.
Just as Armando Iannucci's HBO series really found its feet in its sophomore year, then season three's promo key art is a real gem too and much more ambitious than previous seasons, with its fun homage to Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze's 1851 oil painting 'Washington Crossing the Delaware', which features all the cast wonderfully in character.
Selina takes General Washington's place leading the way with her staff at her feet, most noticeably Tony Hale's overly attentive 'Gary'.
You have to laugh at Anna Clumsky's 'Amy' using her Blackberry, Reid Scott's 'Dan' being attached to his phone negotiating some deal or other (in his favour no doubt), Matt Walsh's 'Mike' trying to drown Timothy Simons annoying White House liaison 'Jonah', Sufe Bradshaw's 'Sue' keeping the office shipshape with her no-nonense glares and Kevin Dunn as the President's depressed and hassled Chief of Staff steering the boat.
This season three Veep billboard was first snapped along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip on March 12, plus extra ads were also spotted along Highland Avenue and Melrose Avenue on March 15, 2014.
The super-sized version was snapped towering proudly over the busy commuter belt of Sunset Boulevard on March 27, 2014.
If you're a fan of the clever and witty series, be sure to check out these Veep season one billboards from 2012 and Veep season two billboards from 2013.
Daily Billboard can only imagine the back-stabbing, lies and deals with the devil that take place on the road to the highest office in the U.S. Government, so this should make for a season rife with delicious satire and laugh out loud humour.

UPDATED: Here's also the Emmy Consideration billboard for the third season of Veep in the Outstanding Comedy Series category spotted along Pico Boulevard at La Cienega Boulevard on May 25, 2014. Surely it's earned more than few nominations after all the hilarious laughs and genuine surprises this season.
