HBO recently cancelled two of their dramedy series after one short season apiece. Will Looking have better luck? Will it be a success and live to see a second season? Stay tuned.
On Looking, three gay friends in San Francisco make their way through life and try to find love. The series features the talents of Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez, Murray Bartlett, O-T Fagbenie, Lauren Weedman, Russell Tovey, Andrew Law, Raul Castillo, and Scott Bakula.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
2/26 update: HBO has renewed Looking for a second season.

What do you think? Do you like the Looking TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
HBO has become just another lap dog for the obummer crowd .There are still a few good shows on, but they are becoming scarce.With the exception of True Detective and a few movies this winter’s programming was the worst in HBO’S once illustrious history.
By the way I am a female over 18 and I also watch Girls, which I agree is often annoying and whiney. What’s funny is I, too, added HBO to watch Game of Thrones…which I find money well spent…
The show is great! I have lived in SF and I find a lot of what is depicted very realistic. It’s refreshing to see a show with men looking for love and relationships rather than just looking for their next conquest. I am very glad the show has been renewed.
I don’t find the show boring at all. I’m tired of reality show hype and over-the-top, unrealistic drama. However, the show’s obsession with Latino stereotypes is disgusting. The (typical, tired, untrue) innocent, pure white, Midwesterner meets a Mexican guy & the subject turns to cholos and “uncut Latin dick”. We didn’t see anyone talking about tiny white dick or femme white men. The Mexican worked at… Este Noche & guess who was on video in the club…. Cazwell. A white guy who is obsessed, not with Latino men, but cholo-looking Latino men. So blatant. It’s deliberately told from a (hick)… Read more »
Are Latinos routinely circumcised in the USA today?
It’s been renewed. What great news.
The show shouldn’t be renewed, it should be cancelled. The show is boring and its not doing good.
c’mon give the show some respect , it is going on to be a good one.. better episodes week after week .. stop whining :3
The show has been picked up for a second season. It has not been announced to the public yet, but it will be back.
how do you know? any sources?
I’m glad it’s being renewed. I only wish they’d make it an hour long and go for more eps per season.
I can’t mention the source but it is HIGHLY reliable.
Programs such as Looking and Girls are the reason why I dropped my HBO subscription. The only show I was watching was Game of Thrones, not worth the money for one show.
Heterosexual women over 18 aren’t interested in Looking (nor are we interested in that whiny show Girls either!).
HBO is just showing crap these days and I don’t want to pay for it.
Actually, I’d say plenty of straight girls should be interested in ‘Looking’… (cute guys, SF, storylines that are more everyday and relatable on many levels…)
aren’t straight girls a huge audience for M/M books as well?
I like looking at LOOKING. Who cares about heterosexual women over 18 anyway?
You dropped your subscription over 2 half hour shows? You won’t be missed. And Girls is one of the best shows on TV right now. It’s clever and witty, I really enjoy it. I find Looking is kinda boring thus far but I’ll give it a chance.
Yes I do think it should be renewed for a second season. I have never been so connected to a show like this one. I will actually be really desapointed if it gets cancelled.
HBO is taking chances on niche markets. They are starting to represent characters who are NOT in the 98% majority of heterosexual, white, middle class men aged 18+ because that demographic is NOT the 98% majority of people in the world. Bravo to the network for taking chances on things out of the ordinary. The shows, while not unproblematic, are fresh and foraging new ground for silent, oppressed voices to be heard.
Typical show for HBO and they wonder why their ratings keep dropping. HBO once had the Sopranos, Rome, Deadwood, Carnival, Sex in the City, The Wire, and Six Feet Under. All of these shows appealed to pretty much every group/age of people. Today besides Boardwalk Empire and The Game of Thrones HBO has a bunch of shows that only appeal to a selected group of people. Take Sunday night for example. I watch the True Detective, which so far has been very disappointing, and it’s followed up with Girls and Looking. Both of these shows only appeal to a very… Read more »
Actually the best part of HBO is that is not a mainstream channel !!! It is amazing that it shows programs that are not followed by everyone and that the few followers are crazy for the programs . I would personally pay to do a second seson of Looking and a new season of girls . They are AMAZING and so ******* REAL . I can see my self in both the series .
