The Apple TV+ series Your Friends & Neighbors just wrapped up after its debut season, and, surprisingly, like other series, this one doesn’t really leave you on a cliffhanger. Still, the wait for Season 2 already feels like an eternity. After all, once you get a taste of that high-end lifestyle, exotic cars, mansions, and the juicy drama that comes with the money and ego, it’s hard to go back to reality.
But here’s the good news: there is a series that covers all these things that made Your Friends & Neighbors popular without all the crime, and we think it will be right up your alley. If you’re craving more of that lavish energy and chaos, then this 8.4 IMDb-rated Entourage might be your perfect streaming partner, and it might just scratch your bingeing itch.
Why Entourage is the perfect replacement for Your Friends & Neighbors
If Your Friends & Neighbors hooked you with its luxurious visuals and a super tight circle of chaotic friends, then Entourage might feel like a natural next step. The series is set in the glitzy heart of Hollywood; the HBO series follows rising movie star Vincent Chase and his loyal childhood friends as they navigate fame, fortune, and the fallout that comes with both.
You’ll get your fair share of exotic cars, jaw-dropping mansions, exclusive parties, and the kind of celebrity drama that feels eerily familiar; the only thing missing is the same criminal activities.
While both series focus on a friend group living large, Entourage trades in the darker psychological themes of Your Friends & Neighbors for a more chill, satirical vibe. There are no suspected murderers, dead bodies, or scandals here. Instead, it’s about ego clashes, romantic failures, career highs and lows, and the hilarious, sometimes brutal, blunt honesty that only real friends bring out.
What’s also fascinating is that Entourage is loosely based on Mark Wahlberg’s own rise through Hollywood. Wahlberg’s involvement doesn’t stop there; he also serves as one of the executive producers, and you can see his influence in the show’s raw, behind-the-scenes energy.
And god, the cameos in the series will really have you feeling like Entourage walked so that The Studio could run. While Your Friends & Neighbors dives deep into crime, trauma, and what’s haunting Coop, Entourage explores struggles of its own—burnout, betrayal, identity—but through eyes that lean more into dark comedy than emotional weight.
For fans who are waiting for Your Friends & Neighbors, it’s going to be almost a year before you see the next season. So, you might as well get started with Entourage for all the money-talk vibes.
The cameos in Entourage are baffling
If you thought The Studio pulled off some impressive celebrity cameos, Entourage takes it to an entirely different level. It feels like Mark Wahlberg emptied his contact list and invited every A-lister he knew to stop by—and many of them actually did. The show is packed with over 100 real-life stars making appearances, often playing exaggerated versions of themselves.
Bob Saget shows up as a hilariously unfiltered version of himself, while James Cameron directs a fictional Aquaman (yes, pre-Jason Momoa), delivering both action and sharp comedy. Jamie-Lynn Sigler appears as Turtle’s girlfriend, and other big names like Matt Damon, Mandy Moore, Anna Faris, Jason Patric, Jessica Alba, and the legendary M. Night Shyamalan all pop in to contribute their fair share.
Each cameo adds a layer of authenticity to Hollywood’s madness, making it feel less like a scripted series and more like a pass to meet these legends.
