“Looking” Season Three: Who Was About To Become A Daddy?

Looking, HBO’s series that people either loved or loved to hate was canceled after two seasons—but now the entire series and the finale movie are being released in a new set available on Blu-ray and DVD.

In a recent chat with NewNowNext, Looking creator Michael Lannan dropped some hints about what was in store for the characters if the series had continued—specifically who was about to become a parent.

“There was something interesting that people kept saying to me about Dom (played by Murray Bartlett)—about how fatherly he was—how manly and virile he was,” said Lannan.

“I always thought it would be interesting to see him become a father in some way because he was also obsessed with youth at the beginning of the series,” he explained. “I was curious how he would handle someone else’s actual youth, and how he would deal with being a father in some way.”

Instead of a third season, what if Looking were to return ten years from now à la Netflix’s Gilmore Girls revival? Where does Lannan envision the characters to be in 2026?

“I don’t know, but I’m sure it will be complicated and messy,” Lannan responded with a laugh.

That is almost a guarantee.

Looking: The Complete Series and Movie is available now on Blu-ray and DVD.
