It looks like it will soon be the end of the line for the cast and crew of the Entourage TV show.
First airing on HBO in July 2004, Entourage revolves around a group of young friends as they navigate the shark-infested waters of Hollywood. The cast includes Adrian Grenier, Jeremy Piven, Jerry Ferrara, Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon, Perrey Reeves, and Rex Lee.
The series is currently airing its seventh season of 10 episodes and those are set to conclude on September 12th.
It was announced this weekend that HBO has now decided to end the series after an abbreviated eighth season. Current plans are to produce only six more installments of Entourage and to air them during the summer of 2011.

However, that may not be the end for the characters. HBO’s programming president, Michael Lombardo, said that series creator Doug Ellin “is appropriately reserving — he wants to write a film, but wants to do it when the story will make sense… But Entourage next summer will definitely be the final season.”
Lombardo also indicated that Ellin’s relationship with HBO wasn’t coming to an end. He noted, “He’s pitched other shows to us. I will expect that within the next couple years [he’ll have another show on HBO].”
What do you think? Are sorry to hear that there won’t be a ninth season of Entourage or is the ending long overdue? Do you honestly believe that a movie will be made?

Please do not end this show! It’s one of the best things that ever happened in show business.
Entourage is one of the best shows out there! I can’t believe its ending. Although its the 8th season each season did not have many episodes. I would love for there to be more and they should definitely make a movie!
I love these guys. Will really miss them. Please make a movie.
I will cancel HBO. I am Queens Boulevard! Come-on. I get to live when i watch entourage. I wish my mother wasn’t a pot head alcoholic and that she would have pushed me to be great! I have the face and the ARI bulletproof attitude. When I sit back and watch it sets me free. My wife LOL gets mad when I ask for a tug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHHAHAH Thank You for the 7 series great job, I’m a fan for life!!!!!!
I wouldn’t hold my breath for a movie to materialize. HBO lies like crazy to calm subscribers down and tell them what they want to hear. When it comes time to deliver, its a totally different story. Deadwood is a perfect example of that. Where are the two Deadwood movies you promised, HBO??? Lying ********.
I think this is a huge mistake by the HBO execs! If audiences want to be subjected to mindless garbage, with non stop partying, and utter ridiculousness, watch New Jersey Shore. The reason why Entourage is presumably going down in flames, is the very reason why we should be embracing it’s new direction. Sure, its not it’s fun loving, wish fulfilling self that it used to be but, after seven years is that what we really want to see? I would personally rather see Vince suffer (and inevitably rebound from) the tumultuous side effects of fame, Drama make a career… Read more »
Thank God this show will be ending. It was once a funny show but it’s gone on way to long. If hollywood people really act like this it’s a very sad commentary about people today. The people are a bunch of stuck up, money hungry, phony people. Besides Ari and Drama the rest of the cast is worthless. Plus I’m not a big fan of watching a bunch of 5’3 men. Why is it that most of today’s leading male actors are tiny little duds?
Husband and I only just started watching Entourage this summer, and we’ve zoomed through the first 5 seasons. I think it’s a great show and am very disappointed to learn that it will be coming to an end.
I am a major consumer of television, and Entourage is my favorite show, possibly my all time favorite. After every thirty minute episode I find myself wishing there were thirty minutes more. Looks like the wave of the future belongs to crappy humorless reality shows. I suppose I will be watching less tv in the future…
The only reason I have HBO is for Entourage, no entourage I cancel
Well, I think that this show is the best show ever !!! And Ari Gold, played by the fantastic Jeremy Piven is the best film or show character I’ve ever seen and I think most of you will agree with me ! Also I think that “Entourage” have an enormous potential to have 2 or 3 more seasons, with 15-20 episodes each. And HBO cchief’s are making a big mistake if they really think to throw away that diamond in the TV show’s industry. And when Entourage ends , no meter when and after how many seasons (I hope they… Read more »
I totaly agree, Ari could carry the show. Also entourage is great, I would totaly go see the movie. I wish they would make a few more seasons! Also Entourage is awsome and Ari Gold super agent is a bad ass. I think they could even make some sort of pre-quel to how Ari rose to success. Ari by far is my favorite character.
Well that sux. They’ll only be doing six installments for next season? In that case just make the movie. I was really hoping to see this go for quite awhile. But The sopranos was only on for 6 seasons. Well this just sux. Well atleast make sure True Blood makes it atleast nine seasons then. But who we kidding? It may be hot now, but maybe not in four or five years. I mean eight seasons is defintely better than average now a days. Some ending after 1,2,3,4,5 seasons you know I guess we just cut our losses. M’ I… Read more »
I agree that Ari could carry a show as “the agency” – especially if there are more cameos of celebs being themselves, exposing audiences to how they really act when not behind the camera or posing for paps. Luv how Ari scares the hell out of everyone but grovels for clients/ stars. So real. loved the last episode with Jessica Simpson as herself, playing a spoiled brat, and the dynamic with Lloyd and the dog and her was priceless. Lloyd always looks like a pup who just got kicked in the face anyway, I’d like to see him evolve as… Read more »
The only reason to watch this show ever, was because of Jeremy Piven. I think Adrian Grenier will become the director he apparently wants to be because he’s not a very good actor. I’m always amazed that females want to bed him all the time because he ain’t sexy!!! He’s no Mark Wahlberg! When Ari & Lloyd get together it’s hysterical and magic. This show would be nothing without Piven. Turtle and Drama don’t do anything different. Drama has been looking for work since day one of the series! Enough already! Eric drives me crazy because he’s a wimp. If… Read more »
If a movie turns out like SEX IN THE CITY, especially the 2nd one, it’ll be a disaster. But as long as the movie has more of Ari Gold’s character by the fabulous Jeremy Piven, it will work. The others can’t make the show on their own.
