Hit Series Entourage is Coming Back to HBO

The "Entourage" crew is coming back for more adventures in celebrity-dom next year.

The Emmy-nominated comedy, which stars Adrian Grenier as a young movie star and Jeremy Piven as his shark-ish agent, has been renewed for a third season to debut next year.

The renewal of "Entourage" topped a state-of-HBO address delivered by Chris Albrecht, HBO's CEO, that included updates on such shows as "The Sopranos" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," as well as news of a formal green light for the long-gestating "John Adams" miniseries.

Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are scheduled to produce a miniseries about World War II battles in the Pacific theater. The World War II miniseries and "Adams" together will cost HBO about $300 million, according to Albrecht.
