‘Entourage’ Makes June ‘Comeback’
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) HBO has set the return date for its Hollywood comedy “Entourage” and plans to pair it with another showbiz-centered series, Lisa Kudrow’s “The Comeback.”
“Entourage” will begin its second season at 9 p.m. ET Sunday, June 5. The show will pick up a few months after the events of season one, with rising movie star Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier) and his posse having returned to Los Angeles after shooting an independent movie in New York. His long-time friend Eric (Kevin Connolly) is now officially his manager and still butting heads with aggressive agent Ari Jacobs (Jeremy Piven), who wants Vince to take the lead role in an “Aquaman” movie.
Vince’s brother Drama (Kevin Dillon), meanwhile, is still trying to resuscitate his career, and their buddy Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) is still enjoying the ride. Debi Mazar, who had a recurring part as Vince’s publicist last season, is now a regular, while Samaire Armstrong (“The O.C.”) and Monica Keena (“Undeclared”) will reprise their recurring roles.
Among the celebs popping up in cameos this season are Bono — featured when the guys attend a U2 concert — Hugh Hefner, Peter Dinklage, Nicole Eggert, Mandy Moore, Amanda Peet, Pauly Shore, Danny Masterson and director James Cameron.
“The Comeback” will air at 9:30 Sundays, also starting June 5. “Friends” star Kudrow, who co-created with Michael Patrick King (“Sex and the City”), plays a one-time sitcom star trying to regain her former glory.
