After the show posted another series high in viewership this week, HBO has renewed Looking for a second season.
The show drew 519,000 viewers this past Sunday, a vast improvement over the series premiere some five weeks ago. Six episodes have aired thus far, leaving two more in the season. It’s unclear how many installments have been ordered for season two.
Starring Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez, and Murray Bartlett, Looking follows a trio of male gay friends in San Francisco. Others in the current cast include Lauren Weedman, Raúl Castillo, and Russell Tovey.
What do you think? Do you like Looking? Are you glad to hear that it’s coming back for another season?
UPDATE: Season Two of “Looking” will have 10 episodes.

The number of new episodes isn’t known (as far as from what I know)….not a naysayer, not a pessimist, not negative: the show is a bore, not witty, not engaging, not clever, non captivating. You can most certainly achieve all of that in 3 episodes: if you don’t you lose the audience it was intended for, let alone the fringe – let alone it follows one of the most popular shows on HBO. That in and of itself speaks to the shows lack of creativity. What’s worse is that we only have Q ueer as Folk and maybe Will and… Read more »
Boring beyond belief – if this is the best option you have for a series like this perhaps you’re not researching the talent within the gay community this show is unwatchable

Love it and so happy it will be back. Patrick and Richie have to be together.
