Looking returns to HBO on January 11 with 10 new episodes. The synopses for January see old relationships tested and new ones about to begin.
HBO released the first string of Looking season 2 synopses ahead of the upcoming premiere. The first three episodes are all about testing the waters in new relationships, or, in Patrick’s case, trying something a bit out of his comfort zone. Dumped in the middle of last season, Agustîn will begin season 2 letting someone new in his life by the name of Eddie (Daniel Franzese, Mean Girls). Meanwhile, Dom will spend the first bit of the season figuring out where he stands with Lynn. Patrick takes Kevin up on a proposal to continue their dalliance, but he can’t tell anyone about it. And Doris, bless her heart, has found love with recurring guest star Bashir Salahuddin (Emmy®-nominated writer for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon), who plays Malik.
Can Patrick continue a friendship with Richie (Raúl Castillo) and explore his hidden romance with Kevin? Will Dom’s Peri-Peri chicken restaurant ever take off?
