Entourage is an eight-season American comedy-drama television series that premiered on HBO on July 18, 2004, and ended on September 11, 2011. Doug Ellin created and largely wrote the series, which follows the acting careers of Vincent Chase, a young A-list movie star, and his childhood friends from Queens, New York City, as they try to advance their nascent careers in Los Angeles.
The show’s executive producers were Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson, and its premise is loosely based on Wahlberg’s experiences as a rising film star.
Entourage Season 9 Release Date
In August 2010, HBO announced that the eighth season of Entourage would also be the show’s final season. According to reports, series creator Doug Ellin is interested in writing an Entourage film but is having difficulty coming up with a storyline that makes sense.
Some have questioned whether an Entourage film will be made, but star Adrian Grenier told Today’s Matt Lauer that the show “will persevere.”
Entourage was conceived, according to Mark Wahlberg, when his assistant asked if he could film Wahlberg and his friends, calling them “hilarious.” According to other reports, Wahlberg’s long-time friend Eric Weinstein came up with the idea of filming the actor’s group of friends. However, Donnie Carroll, the inspiration for the Turtle character, claimed that the idea for a show involving an actor and his friends came from him. It began as a book idea titled from the Hood to Hollywood, A Soldier’s Story, based on Carroll’s own life and his interactions with Wahlberg.
Originally, Vincent Chase was supposed to be more like Wahlberg, but it was decided that some of his and his friends’ activities (particularly some aspects of their criminal past) would not work well on television. A softer approach was eventually chosen.
