The series premiere of Looking on HBO didn’t attract much of an audience but the ratings improved slightly as the season progressed. Will the numbers continue to grow or, will they trickle downward in season two? Cancelled or renewed for a third season? We’ll have to wait and see.
Looking revolves around three gay friends (Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez, and Murray Bartlett) in San Francisco as they make their way in the world, looking for personal and professional fulfillment. Also starring are Lauren Weedman, Russell Tovey, and Raul Castillo.
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.

What do you think? Do you like the Looking TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I love this show …..need a episode everday but i really do want a season 3 so pls renew HBO
That one episode that aired on Sat night has the best ratings at 324k! Why did they go back to Sunday when clearly it works in Saturday?
I love this show please renew!
Love the show Renew please!
Season 3 please!!! There hasn’t been a great gay themed show since QAF! Please do not cancel.
I love this show! Well written, it is getting better and better. Would love a series 3
I love love this show. Writing is fantastic as are the characters. Would love a season 3
Last night’s episode was good because it centered on Doris & Dom. Besides them Richie and Kevin are good characters. Patrick & Auggie are boring, pointless characters. If the focus of the show remains on Paddy YES cancel it!
I love this show but it hasn’t had much publicity in the UK as its on a satellite channel (sky atlantic) and there is absolutely no publicity about it here. I’m sure if more people knew about it the ratings would be better.
loving the show keeps getting better can’t wait to see the next one today so excited please don’t cancel the show
This show is so good and i’ll be really sad if it’s cancelled.
it’s the greatest show ever. I want it renew so bad but the rating is just counted by the viewers in the USA, so the decision to renew or cancel it depends on the rating is not really accurate. So it’s not fair for the viewers live in other countries, who also love this show very muchhhh
The show is fantastic. Can not wait to see it every week
It is an excellent show. Can not wait to see it every week
It’s not far. Ever since Looking’s premier they’ve had to go up against things where lots of people tune in. Mainly award shows. I wish we knew the numbers AFTER all the HBO Go and DVR viewings are factored in.
