Entourage is a satirical comedy-drama television series created by Doug Ellin that premiered on HBO on July 18, 2004. The series chronicles the acting career of Vincent Chase, a young A-list movie star, as he navigates the vapid terrain of Los Angeles. Vincent is accompanied by a close circle of friends, including Eric, Drama, and Turtle, as well as his trusty agent, Ari.

In the first season, the group begins living a high-profile lifestyle in the wake of Vincent's latest film hit. Throughout the season, the friends attend a series of wild parties and frequently clash with Ari regarding Vincent's career path. The group eventually decides on Vincent's next starring role, which involves an independent film set in Queens. This project is directed by a filmmaker named Billy Walsh, who is described as a loose cannon. The show explores the dynamics between the central characters as they manage the challenges of life in the entertainment industry. The series ran for eight seasons, concluding on September 11, 2011. The primary cast features Adrian Grenier as Vincent Chase, alongside Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon, and Jerry Ferrara.
