Variety is reporting that 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.HBO and Mark Wahlberg are getting into politics -- at least for a new series.

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 tentatively scheduled to premiere in the fall.

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.
