EMMY®-WINNING COMEDY SERIES Entourage RETURNS FOR ITS SEVENTH SEASON JUNE 27, EXCLUSIVELY ON HBO
After an accident during the filming of his latest action flick, Vince has developed a new lease on life that makes him even more difficult to manage. Meanwhile, the rest of the guys face the challenge of mapping out their own futures, both personally and professionally.
The Emmy®-winning HBO comedy series Entourage kicks off its ten-episode seventh season SUNDAY, JUNE 27 (10:30-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), immediately following the season premiere of the comedy series “Hung,” with other episodes debuting subsequent Sundays at the same time.
From executive producer and creator Doug Ellin, and executive producers Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, Rob Weiss, Denis Biggs and Ally Musika, Entourage draws on the experiences of industry insiders, and stars Adrian Grenier as Vince, who is enjoying life in the limelight as a hot young actor; Kevin Connolly as Eric, Vince’s manager; Kevin Dillon as Vince’s half-brother Drama, whose own career has been eclipsed by Vince’s success; Jerry Ferrara as his pal Turtle; and Golden Globe® and three-time Emmy® winner Jeremy Piven as Ari, now heading an entertainment-industry behemoth.
Also featured on the new episodes of Entourage are series regulars Perrey Reeves as the long-suffering Mrs. Ari; Rex Lee as Ari’s former assistant Lloyd, who is now a full agent; Emmanuelle Chriqui as Sloan, Eric’s on-again, off-again girlfriend; and Scott Caan as Scott Lavin, Eric’s co-worker and Vince’s new partner in crime.
Returning guest stars include Gary Cole as Andrew Klein, Ari’s former mentor and current partner; Beverly D’Angelo as Babs, Ari’s other partner; and Debi Mazar as Vince’s publicist Shauna. Other guests this season (some portraying themselves) include Nick Cassavetes, Jonathan Keltz, Stan Lee, Maria Menounos, Bob Saget, Jessica Simpson, Aaron Sorkin, John Stamos and Mike Tyson.

The director of Vince’s (Adrian Grenier) latest action film talks his star into doing his own driving stunt, agitating both Eric (Kevin Connolly) and Ari (Jeremy Piven). Turtle’s (Jerry Ferrara) attraction to Alex (Dania Ramirez), an underperforming employee, threatens to damage his fledgling car-service business. Ari looks to add to his resume as “the biggest agent in the world” by forging an alliance with the NFL. Worried that his holding deal is about to expire, Drama (Kevin Dillon) pressures Lloyd (Rex Lee), now his agent, to land him a project.

In the midst of a public relations crisis over Vince’s movie, Ari has a face-to-face with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and other top NFL figures, and gets unexpected help from black-sheep agent Lizzie Grant (Autumn Reeser). At Vince’s behest, Eric agrees to help Drama find the perfect script. Turtle ends up with egg on his face when he accuses Alex of maxing out his corporate credit card. Sporting a bold new look, Vince takes his risk-taking proclivities to new heights.
Written by Ally Musika; directed by Tucker Gates.
The sixth season of Entourage, which ended its run in Oct. 2009, inspired critical praise. Newsday called the show “funny, smart,” adding, “It just gets better and better,” while the Detroit News hailed Entourage as “a treat,” and the Chicago Sun-Times described it as “plenty of fun.”
In September 2008, Jeremy Piven received an Emmy® for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, his third win in a row in the category. He also won his first Golden Globe® in 2008.
Entourage was created by Doug Ellin; executive producers, Mark Wahlberg, Doug Ellin, Stephen Levinson, Rob Weiss, Denis Biggs and Ally Musika; producers, Wayne Carmona and Lori Jo Nemhauser.
Yay! Another season to torture myself with how horrible the show has become!
I agree. I wish HBO would stick a fork in this crapfest already.
I wish this site would stick a fork in the negativity already.
“this site”?
It's a press release!
As for commenters, to each his own.
Julia is being a Debbie Downer to an end that serves no useful purpose. Julia is “affiliated” with the site.
And just to be clear — it's not that I disagree with Julia (Entourage was great the first two seasons, since then, fumes!) but for someone to take her comment as being from “this site” is understandable.
I doubt that was the case, but I can see in your enthusiasm to contradict me you jumping to the alternate conclusion.
I'm happy to be proven wrong by Giacomo Beltrami, but I doubt his comment had anything to do with knowing Julia's relationship with the site.
Giacomo?
You doubt that was the case only because you are a dope who would rather antagonize the commenters than accept the fact Julia is affiliated with the site? Otherwise, it's not an alternate conclusion, that I jumped to out of enthusiasm. It's a fact.
Edit: though I concede whether Giacomo knows of Julia's affiliation is unknown. Your knowledge of Julia's affiliation is not unknown, so I therefore conclude it is you who jumped to conclusions
Of course I “accept the fact Julia is affiliated with the site”/
It's that I doubt Giacomo's comment was based on his knowledge of Julia's affiliation.
Either you concluded (alternately) that his comment was based on that knowledge, or you just wanted to play comment policeman with me!
Since Julia is affiliated with the site, the fairest thing to conclude is that's what Giacamo was talking about.
You're obsessed with being right, even if you're wrong. I'm more concerned with the right approach (even if I'm wrong!).
To be fair to Bill, Giacamo's response seemed like it was directed towards velouria00 more than me. (The reference to sticking a fork in it?)
Bill and Robert – why all the sniping at each other in the last few months? This family is being torn apart!
Velouria was responding to you, so “original sin” and all that
Because I LOVE The Wire and Treme and Bill doesn't?
(I just had to throw that out there because of your handle, for all I know Bill adores Treme.)
Well, that's understandable. I wouldn't want to be associated with people that hate The Wire. Carry on.
Treme really does do a “Julia Downer” Just plain boring
entourage is still a great show season 5 was bad but season 6 made it great again
