Is Amy leaving politics in order to interact with the more creative and mature minds

of drunken freshmen? Is Dan going undercover to try to win the youth vote? Is Jonah

hitting college campuses in an attempt to improve his 0 percent success rate with

women?

We don’t know the answer to any of these questions, but we do know that HBO’s hit

political comedy

Veep will be filming at the University of Maryland for

the next two weeks. The show is

currently in production for its third season following two big

Emmy

wins

at last month’s awards: Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy

Series for Julia Louis-Dreyfus,

who plays fictional Vice President Selina Meyer; and

Outstanding Supporting Actor

in a Comedy Series for Tony Hale, who plays her faithful

minion, Gary.

The news, which comes via a parking alert sent to faculty members, underscores the

warm relationship between the show and the state of Maryland. (Veep films on a soundstage in Baltimore, thanks in large part to the 2011 Maryland Film

Production Employment Act, which offers generous tax credits to production companies.)

So while parking spaces might have to be sacrificed from October 2 to 15, at least

students and staff might get to spot a star or two during the process.
