Season 2 of the HBO series Looking hasn’t even started filming yet but that didn’t stop the enthusiasm for the show, its cast (Jonathan Groff, Murray Bartlett, Frankie J Alvarez, new full-time cast member Lauren Weedman) and creator Michael Lannan at Saturday’s Outfest panel, Inside Looking.

The warm and chummy group took to the stage at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles to talk about how the first season was received and what we can expect with the second season, which will premiere in early 2015 on HBO.

‘Looking’ Season 2 Spoilers: New Faces Joining Patrick, Agustin & Dom In Quest For Love, Show Becoming More Diverse With Multi-Racial & Trans Characters

Things continue looking up for HBO's dramedy series Looking, as season 2 will feature some new faces alongside its core characters when it premieres in 2015.

In addition to Patrick (Jonathon Groff), Agustin (Frankie J. Alvarez) and Dom (Murray Bartlett) searching for love in modern-day San Francisco, newer, more diverse characters will also join in, as they too search for romance.

According to New Now Next, three new male characters will join them, and could potentially add more complications to their personal and romantic lives.

The new characters will include Malik, an African-American staffer at the mayor's office, Sammie, a trans man who lives at the shelter where Agustin gets a job and Brady, Richie's (Raul Castillo) new redheaded boyfriend. There have been no casting announcements as of yet.

The decision of showrunners David Marshall Grant, Sarah Condon and Andrew Haigh to include such racially diverse characters appears to be in response to early criticisms that the show wasn't showcasing all the members of the San Francisco gay community, and chose to focus solely on white men.

Will it get a longer runtime or maybe more episodes per season? with it's current length and short season, the amount they are attempting to explore more characters is going to fail from pacing, or have little to no characterisation or a huge lack of fleshing out the stories that are being told.
 
I am not sure if I am missing something but I started on Season 1 and found it really dull. I am assuming if it's getting a second season then there must be some appeal...
 
It seems they read people´s reactions on the internet. Where is the trans one? Here. Where is the black one? Here you go.

I´m looking forward to this season, I really enjoyed the 1st one. It was actually the only gay series I could watch for more than 2 episodes.

Those were my thoughts exactly. Nice to see they listen.. but it reads as pandering.

I found the show exceedingly dull and the main character absolutely unlikable, right up to the 6th episode. So, I really doubt i'll follow it, what with shows like Please Like Me on Pivot being worlds more interesting.

yes the main character is dull, i found that his lovers were more exciting than him and one of his friends were more unbearable.

we wil see this season, maybe it might change

I loved the 1st season of Please Like Me. Very well written. The 2nd season starts on August 10th, or around that date and they just signed up for a 3rd season :D
 
The show started out dull, but as the characters developed the show got better as it progressed. Then as it was starting to get better the first season was over. I am looking forward to season 2. I hope this show stays on for awhile so the characters can develop further.

I did a marathon session with some friends. Cautiously optimistic about Season 2.
 
The first season was a little uneven, some good, emotional episodes and some dull episodes that lacked drama and character development. Overall, I am encouraged by Looking. I like most of the characters except maybe Franke. By the eighth and last episode of Season One, I actually wanted more.

Interestingly enough, on IMDB, Looking gets an 8.1, which is way above average.

Thanks for all the scoop on season two! I can't wait for Sunday!

I am not surprised at all it gets an 8.1. Millenials were starving to see some sort of mainstream representation and I think this fills that void pretty accurately. I can't wait either! :corn:

My only annoyance is that it doesn't look like Richie will be on the opener#-o
 
Looking’s Dan Franzese On His HIV-Positive Bear Character, Being Completely Naked On Screen And Why He Came Out Publicly

It’s been a decade since actor Daniel Franzese made a huge splash as Damian, the straight-talking, possibly gay teen character in the widely-adored comedy Mean Girls. In the years since he appeared on numerous TV series including The Comeback and in smaller films, such as the horror remake I Spit On Your Grave, but avoided any repeats of Damian and especially refused any roles he deemed “gay stereotypes.”

Last summer, as many media outlets acknowledged the impact Mean Girls had on a generation of fans, Franzese decided to come out publicly by writing an open letter to Damian, in which he acknowledged having played the Hollywood game, had lied about his sexual orientation and wished he’d had someone like his character to inspire him to live more honestly.
