Entourage
will end next summer after its eighth season and could be followed by a
movie, HBO announced Saturday at the Television Critics Association
fall TV previews.
"The plan right now is we'll finish up this season. We'll do a
shorter order for next season — we've talked about six [episodes]," said
Michael Lombardo, HBO programming president. "[Creator Doug Ellin] ...
wants to write a film, but wants to do it if it makes sense for the
story. ... I will expect that within the next couple years [he'll have
another show on HBO]. But next summer will definitely be the final
season of Entourage."
Ellin and executive producer Mark
Wahlberg have long talked about their big-screen plans for Vincent
Chase & Co. In June, Wahlberg told
MTV that that he thinks fans have always wanted a movie and
believes producers can deliver a "great" one.
"We're going to have six episodes next year and end with a bang,"
he said, adding that the movie trailer can open with Ari Gold (Jeremy
Piven) and Lloyd (Rex
Lee) "waking up together in Vegas not knowing what happened."
During its run, Entourage netted five Emmy Awards —
three of which went to Piven for supporting actor in a comedy series.
The show was nominated for outstanding comedy series from 2007-09.
Are you sad Entourage is ending? Do you want to see
Vince and the boys on the big screen?

meh, sad no. I don't know what the point would be to make movie. I mean what will they do on a movie that they couldn't do on HBO. I may still see it, but it's not like I am freaking out they may make a movie. It just seems like a way to make more money off the franchise.

It's overdue. Used to love this how, but it is clearly played out now. Every episode this season has seem forced or recycled from previous years. I will stick with it, but it's time.

Who was the dumbass that thought it was a good idea to have a woman write the ultimate guy show? I mean a major plotline of one of the episodes was that Vince cut his hair. Who gives a fuck? Why not have a group oil rig workers write Sex and the City as well?
Put this dying piece of shit out of its misery. I enjoyed previous seasons, but last season was deplorable.
