The last episode is Sept 12th. They're skipping a week before the final. HBO can do no wrong when it comes to series. I can't wait for The Sopranos, Deadwood and Entourage next year! What a Sunday lineup. (including Six Feet Under) HBO series are the only ones I watch on TV except for a few shows on the Sci Fi channel but I don't watch those consistently.
HBO has renewed the new comedy series ENTOURAGE for a second season, it was announced today by Carolyn Strauss, president, HBO Entertainment. A look at the life of a young star and his buddies in Hollywood, the eight-episode first season kicked off last Sunday. Production on additional episodes will begin later this year, with the second season to launch in 2005 on HBO.
"ENTOURAGE is already shaping up as both a critical and subscriber smash," said Strauss. "I can't wait to see what kind of stories creator Doug Ellin and his talented team will tell in the second season."
From executive producer Mark Wahlberg, the new eight-episode comedy series kicked off last Sunday, July 18 (10:00-10:30 pm ET), exclusively on HBO. Wahlberg also makes a cameo appearance in the first episode of the show, which draws on the experiences of industry insiders.
The show has already sparked critical praise, with TV Guide hailing the show as "smart" and "seriously funny," while Entertainment Weekly calls it "hilarious" and "packed firm with laughs." The New York Times raves, "Nothing on network television is as smart, original and amusing," adding, "The send-up of Hollywood mores and manners is merciless."
