HBO on Sunday will premiere Looking,
its much-anticipated gay themed comedy-drama starring Jonathan Groff
(Glee, Boss).
“The show is about a group of gay
friends living in modern day San Francisco, looking to connect,
looking for love, and living their lives,” Groff said in a promo
for the show.
The three friends – Groff, Murray
Bartlett (Guiding Light) and newcomer Frankie J. Alvarez
(Smash) – grapple with life in San Francisco, America's most
gay-friendly city.
Co-creator Michael Lannan said the show
reflected “this very unique place that gay people have in the
culture now.”
“When the world changes so quickly
even for the better it's confusing,” he said.
Patrick (played by Groff) has come to
San Francisco to find love. Patrick's
friends are also looking for something. Dom (Bartlett) is having a
mid-life crisis, while Agustin (Alvarez) and his boyfriend are
adjusting to living together.
“In many respects, the fact that
they're gay is the least interesting thing about them,” Director
Andrew Haigh (Weekend) said. “I think it's impossible to
tell a story about all gay people. I just want to tell a story that
is truthful about these people.” (The
