HBO is reteaming with the producers behind Entourage to develop a politically charged series reports Variety.
According to Variety: Mark Wahlberg, Doug Ellin and Stephen Levinson, the successful team behind the Emmy-winning comedy 'Entourage,' are working on a new, untitled series that follows the relationship between a political aide and his boss, the former President of the United States.
The script comes from Ben Scherwin, who will also serve as co-executive producer alongside Wahlberg, Ellin and Levinson.
The show will continue a very fruitful relationship between the 'Entourage' team and HBO. Currently, they're prepping the Prohibition-era drama 'Boardwalk Empire' from Martin Scorsese, as well as the third season of 'In Treatment,' both of which are scheduled to premiere in the fall.
I think this project has potential to be another hit for Wahlberg and Friends. Much like the way “Entourage” explores the day-to-day operations of celebrity life, the new show will focus on the day-to-day dealings of politics and government. It’s an interesting world to explore, and depending on who they cast it could turn out to be HBO’s next sleeper hit.
On the acting side, Wahlberg can currently be seen on the big screen in Peter Jackson's adaptation of 'The Lovely Bones.' He's also prepping three films to be released later this year, including 'The Fighter,' co-starring Christian Bale.
