Premium cable network HBO has renewed
Looking for a second season.
The highly-anticipated comedy-drama
from creator Michael Lannan and director Andrew Haigh (Weekend)
features three friends – Jonathan Groff (Glee, Boss), Murray
Bartlett (Guiding Light) and Frankie J. Alvarez (Smash)
– grappling with life in San Francisco, America's most gay-friendly
city.
In the show's first 8-episode season,
which premiered last month and ends next Sunday, 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.
According
to Deadline,
HBO renewed the series despite soft ratings due to the buzz it has
managed to generate.
Season two will
also expand the cast of regulars to six by bumping up recurring roles
played by Lauren Weedman, Raul Castillo and Russell Tovey to
regulars.
