Emmanuelle Chriqui Pitches Entourage Reboot Ideas, Doubts It Will Happen
The actress, who played Sloan McQuewick from season 2, says a revival should tackle social media and influencers and pair the original cast with a younger entourage.
Emmanuelle Chriqui says she would love an Entourage reboot and has ideas for what it should cover, though she doubts one will actually move forward. The actress, who played Sloan McQuewick from season 2 of the HBO comedy, discussed the idea in an interview reported by screenrant.com.
Chriqui said a revival should explore social media and influencers, and suggested it could feature the original cast alongside a younger entourage. The star did not attach a timeframe or production plan to the idea, and said she doubts it will happen.
Talk of a return has circulated before. Entourage premiered in 2004 and ended in 2011 after eight seasons, and a 2015 theatrical film grossed USD 49.2 million, which failed to break even for Warner Bros. That film earned a 32% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Producer Mark Wahlberg, creator Doug Ellin and multiple cast members have previously expressed a desire to reunite for an Entourage revival, but HBO executives do not appear interested. The series averaged a 66% Rotten Tomatoes score and an 82% audience score, and won a Peabody in 2008.
