Political satire comedy "Veep" is set to bow out with its seventh season in 2018.
Featuring actor Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the lead, the HBO show will end its run in the next installment, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"It became clear that this season should be the last season. We don't want to repeat ourselves or wear out our welcome. The story has a finality to it that feels end-of- series," Louis-Dreyfus said.
The actor, who plays the vain and selfish Selina Meyer in the show and exec produces it, said even fellow executive producer David Mandel agreed with the decision.
"It was just a very natural thing. We don't want to repeat ourselves or be boring. It's bittersweet but it's right," Mandel echoed Louis-Dreyfus' words.
The actor has won five consecutive Emmys for outstanding lead actress for her performance and is up for a sixth this year.
"Veep" received nominations for best series six consecutive seasons, out of which it won the last two in a row, as it heads into this year's ceremony on September 17.
Mandel said he and the writers have finished working on all 10 episodes for the final spell.
The shooting for "Veep" season seven begins October 16.
