HBO renews 'Veep,' 'Silicon Valley'
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Los Angeles - AFP
Premium television channel HBO said Monday it has renewed its political comedy "Veep" for a fifth season and its tech-savvy sitcom "Silicon Valley" for a third.
“'Veep' and 'Silicon Valley' are terrific series and I'm immensely proud that they will return to HBO next year," said the channel's programming president Michael Lombardo.
"Along with 'Game of Thrones' and 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,' both of which have already been renewed for 2016, they give HBO a stellar Sunday night like no other," he said in a statement.
Created by Armando Iannucci, "Veep" portrays the political rise of a gaff-prone American vice president played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Season four premiered Sunday on HBO.
"Silicon Valley," which has also just started its 10-episode second season, is a humorous take on the daily life of California computer geeks.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
