HBO Renews Comedies ‘Entourage’ and ‘Hung’

This week brought good news for fans of HBO’s two Sunday-night comedies Entourage and Hung. The premium-cable network has picked up both man-centric series for an additional season.

Also getting a renewal is the vampire drama True Blood, which airs on Sundays right now, as well.

According to HBO executive Richard Plepler, all three series “have broken into the popular culture in a way we haven’t seen in a while.” As a result, Entourage will return for a seventh season and Hung for a second season during 2009–2010.

The fate of fellow comedy Flight of the Conchords is up in the air, however. The show’s sophomore run ended on March 22, and it’s unclear at the moment if stars Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie intend to return for another season. Stay tuned…
