HBO announced the decision on Friday, April 10, revealing that "Curb Your Enthusiasm" executive producer David Mandel was appointed to take over the job, reported Ace Showbiz.
"We have had conversations with Armando for some time about the challenges of maintaining his family life in London and producing a show in the states," the network said in a statement.
"Armando is not replaceable but we are confident that 'Veep' will continue to be produced at the highest levels with new showrunner, David Mandel. David has worked with HBO for many years as executive producer, writer and director for 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'.
