ITV4 lands 'Entourage', 'Surface'

ITV has picked up the rights to two new US series for new male-skewed channel ITV4.

The first is HBO's Entourage, a comedy following fictional Hollywood actor Vincent Chase. The series is produced by actor Mark Wahlberg.

The channel also has the rights to NBC's Surface, a sci-fi drama about mysterious forms of sea life hidden beneath the world's oceans.

ITV4 is expected to confirm its launch schedule later this week.
