HBO on Tuesday announced a July
premiere date for Looking: The Movie.
Looking, which ran for two
seasons on HBO, revolves around the lives of three gay men living in
San Francisco. Patrick (played by Jonathan Groff) came to the city
to find love; Dom (Murray Barlett) is a middle-aged waiter looking to
fulfill his father's dream of owning a successful restaurant; and
Agustin (Frankie J. Alvarez) struggles with his art and
relationships.
In canceling the series, HBO promised a
special to tie up loose ends.
Looking: The Movie will debut
Saturday, July 23.
In the feature-length presentation,
Patrick “returns to the city for the first time in almost a year to
celebrate a momentous event with his old friends. In the process, he
must face the unresolved relationships he left behind and make
difficult choices about what's important to him.”
Groff recently made headlines when he
said that the
show's finale will include “the most intense sex scene” he's ever
filmed.
