Julia Louis-Dreyfus is thankful to be back at work.
The actress, 57, offered a few words of gratitude to the cast and crew of Veep before filming the first scene of season 7.
“I really appreciate everyone coming back,” she says in a clip posted on Twitter. “I’m very grateful, thank you very much.”
In the clip, Louis-Dreyfus is seen preparing to film with costar Tony Hale.
Along with the video, Louis-Dreyfus wrote, “Before the first shot of season 7 of @veephbo. So deeply grateful to be back together with all these superb people.”
This will be the critically acclaimed HBO comedy’s final season. Episodes will air in 2019.
Earlier this month, the actress shared a photo of herself at the table read with the rest of the Veep cast.
“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!” she captioned the group selfie.
Louis-Dreyfus spent the summer soaking up the sun in Hawaii with her husband Brad Hall after undergoing surgery for breast cancer.
The actress was diagnosed with breast cancer in September, days after she won her sixth consecutive outstanding lead actress Emmy for her role as Selina Meyer on Veep (which set the record for most wins for a performance in the same role for the same series).
“1 in 8 women get breast cancer. Today, I’m the one,” she tweeted at the time. “The good news is that I have the most glorious group of supportive and caring friends, and fantastic insurance through my union. The bad news is that not all women are so lucky, so let’s fight all cancers and make universal health care a reality.”
The Seinfeld alum has remained positive on social media throughout her battle. In January, she completed her last round of chemotherapy, and in February she underwent surgery.
