HBO’s ‘Looking’ to return for second season

HBO has renewed “Looking” for a second season.

The half-hour series, about a trio of gay friends living in San Francisco, stars Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez and Murray Bartlett.

“Looking” premiered to soft ratings in January, but grew to a series-high 519,000 viewers for its most recent episode, which aired Sunday at 10:30 p.m.

With the pick-up, three cast members — Lauren Weedman, Raul Castillo and Russell Tovey— will be bumped up to series regulars in Season Two.

Production begins later this year in San Francisco.
