Julia Louis-Dreyfus took to Instagram last Thursday to share a photo with the cast of Veep as she returns to work following her cancer treatment.

“Guys, we just learned how to take a picture of ourselves on my phone! How cool is this? @veephbo Table read episodes 2 & 3 Season 7, baby!” Louis-Dreyfus captioned the sweet pic.

 

The 57-year-old actress opened up about her breast cancer battle in September and executive producer Frank Rich confirmed in November that the show had halted production to support Louis-Dreyfus as she took a break from acting to focus her time and effort on the treatment.

HBO President of Programming, Casey Bloys revealed that the seventh and final season of Veep will air in spring 2019. “The writers just got together. We’ll be shooting in the fall, and airing in the spring some time,” he said at the network’s summer Television Critics Association press tour last month.

Veep co-star Tony Hale said that Louis-Dreyfus, who completed her last day of chemotherapy was “doing awesome.”

“She’s going through her own journey, and man, we’ve been talking off and on,” Hale told ET in May. “But we’re going to be ready to shoot in the summer.”

“She’s getting stronger and stronger,” he added.
