ROUGH CUT.

"Veep," star Julia Louis-Dreyfus said returning back to work after battling a cancer was marvelous.

"It was a wonderful reminder that - what a joy it is to create funny stuff with people you love," said the star at the show's red carpet premiere in New York on Tuesday (March 26).

A send-up of Washington power brokers, "Veep" has aired on AT&T Inc's HBO since 2012, but the show took a hiatus after Louis-Dreyfus began undergoing treatment for breast cancer in late 2017.

The former "Seinfeld" star said last year she was cancer free.

Producers said they had decided to end the show with the upcoming seventh season before the cancer diagnosis.

The show returns on March 31 for seven episodes.

"I think she's filled with a certain kind of self-loathing and narcissism that's a nice cocktail for running for president," said the actress of her character.

"Veep" has won the Emmy for best comedy series three times, and Louis-Dreyfus has earned six consecutive best actress Emmys for the role, surpassing the totals of past female comedy icons like Mary Tyler Moore or Lucille Ball.
