From TV Guide:
ReplyDelete"Cast members like Rex Lee are hearing the HBO comedy will head back into production in March. Lee (who plays Hollywood assistant extraordinaire Lloyd) admits "I'd love to get back to work".
This is in line with the New York Times and other publications that have stated "Entourage" will now be back in Fall 2008 instead of the original pre-strike June 2008.
Some sources have been less commital and stated that the show will return late 2008/early 2009.
Originally, the show was to begin filming around now, so it does not seem too far off the original back to set date.
Considering Doug Ellin and his team has 3-4 pre-strike scripts ready to go, it doesn't seem too hopeful to think they will make a September 2008 return date.
Lets all hope this is true.
