Looking, HBO's groundbreaking series centered around the lives of gay men, debuted 10 years ago. And yet, we're still learning more about the show — including which “Hot Internet Daddy” almost scored a role on the show.
The show followed the trials and tribulations of three gay friends living in San Francisco and starred out gay actors Jonathan Groff, Murray Bartlett, and Russell Tovey. While Looking was sadly canceled after two seasons it has left an indelible mark on queer TV.

        ‘Looking’ Creator Broke Down What Would Have Happened In Season 3

While Looking only lasted two seasons (and a movie), the series about a group of gay men living and loving (ooh those sex scenes!) in San Francisco will always have a place in our hearts.

Now we know.
