Looking arrived with great fanfare on TV in early 2014, but while it attracted a lot of interest and comment, it never became a big ratings winner for HBO. As a result shortly after Looking – Season 2 aired it was revealed that it had been cancelled, although there is still the promise of an upcoming two-hour Looking movie to help wrap things up.
Despite it’s relatively low ratings, it was a difficult cancellation for HBO’s openly gay president of programming Michael Lombardo, who TVLine reports as at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, “I thought the show, creatively, was really doing something that I hadn’t seen on any other show, particularly dealing with gay lives. As a gay man, in particular, I was very proud that there was a show that felt like it was dealing very honestly and openly with gay men and their lives, without putting them into a comedic mode.”
As a result, “ending that show was, on a personal level, very painful for me” but on a business level, the weak ratings “didn’t support us going forward”.
However there is still the promise of the two-hour Looking movie, which will air in early 2016, and will hopefully give us some closure of the story of Patrick, Agustin, Dom, Kevin and co.
