HBO has reportedly renewed Hollywood comedy “Entourage” for another season.

The news came after just five episodes into the TV series’ fifth season and two weeks after Jeremy Piven won a third Emmy for his role as a distressed talent agent. According to media reports, the shooting of the sixth season will begin in early 2009. The episodes of the new season will hit TV screens by next summer.

“Entourage” executive producers were delighted by the HBO pick up.

"We just spoke to the real Johnny Drama, and he is overjoyed by this pickup. Most of all, we love being part of the HBO family," executive producers Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson said according to E!Online.com.

The show’s creator, Doug Ellin, also expressed his joy about the fact that HBO decided to renew “Entourage” and especially because the television allowed the show to grow and mature.

“I never imagined when we started that we would make it to six seasons," said Ellin.

The entourage of “Entourage” will reportedly remain unchanged. Vincent Chase, Johnny "Drama" Chase, Eric Murphy, Turtle, and the feisty Ari Gold will get themselves into some more trouble next season.
 
“Entourage” joins HBO’s line up of next year’s series including "Big Love," "Flight of the Conchords," "In Treatment," "True Blood" and new entry drama "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency."
