The fourth season will be called POTUS
In the same way Yes, Minister became Yes, Prime Minister. That show was Armando Iannucci's main inspiration for creating The Thick of It (of which Veep is loosely an American adaptation) so this will be done as a tribute.- Jossed.
In New Hampshire Selina caused her own 3rd place defeat.
By refusing to meet with Maddox when he requested, Selina lost an opportunity to pick up his endorsement. Maddox may have only had 6% of the vote, but she only needed 1% to beat Thornhill and come in second to Chung. Maddox endorses Chung not to long after Selina refuses his request to meet. The series will end with Selina breaking down in front of the country
After being pushed and pulled in so many directions and stonewalled by so many people trying to protect their own interests, she'll drop all pretense and tell everyone (in her own Cluster F-Bomb Selina style) how much bullshit goes on inside the American government.- Jossed; it ended with Selina committing multiple Moral Event Horizon acts of villainy to win the Presidential nomination, then a 24 year time skip where her death/funeral is upstaged by the death of Tom Hanks in a fit of karmatic justice.
Tom James will become president, and Selina will be his Veep
At first I thought James would become the new Veep and the main character of the next season. But he's just so cool that he'd be a Mary Sue if he was the main character, rather than someone for Selina to be jealous of. The polling will show that the only way for Meyers-James to win the election is if they change places on the ticket. Then Selina will remain Veep.- According to the season four finale, this is actually an option. James even lampshades it:Tom James. Do you wanna be my new veep?
- Jossed. Tom James screws it up and now neither of them get to be POTUS or VEEP.
In Season 6, Selina will be brought in as a consultant
Because having been kicked out of office, there has to be some way for the show to keep focusing on her in politics. The series will end with the inauguration of President Jonah Ryan
If there's one constant in Veep, it's that gross incompetence is rewarded.- In the Season 6 finale, Jonah forms an exploratory committee for his candidacy for President.
- Almost. After Jonah's Presidential bid succeeds in spite of multiple debacles, he scores enough support at the party convention to nominate the next President in season 7 that Selina says "fuck it" and offers him the VP slot to get his delegate votes sworn to her. Sadly, he doesn't last her single term as Selina's Vice President; Jonah is impeached under unstated circumstances and banned from attending her funeral.
Amy won't abort her baby with Dan.
- Jossed.
Jonah will end up being the legal guardian of Will's kid.
At one point in Season 6, Will tells Jonah that in case he and his wife ever die, he's giving custody of his kid to Jonah. It would be hilarious if the show ended with him having to take care of a kid with no absolute idea of what he's doing.- Finale didn't show the Ryans having any kids.
Richard will become President.
He's allies to both Selina and Jonah, has become mayor, is now Governor of Iowa, next step is President.- He does, but not the 2020 presidential election.
Splett's 'Three State Solution' involved independence for Palestine coupled with Jerusalem and its environs becoming a separate micronation.
