Jonathan Groff’s New HBO Series Is The Complete ‘Gay Experience’

Jonathan Groff’s New HBO Series will represent multiple aspects of gay life, says the actor.

The dramedy, set around three friends living in San Francisco, sees Groff play a video game designer looking for love on OKCupid.

In the as yet untitled Michael Lannan series, Groff will play a video game designer named Patrick, who’s looking for love on OKCupid. The new HBO gay-themed show which is targeting a 2014 premiere date, also stars Frankie J. Alvarez (Smash) and Murray Bartlett (Damages). Groff says…

“The show hopefully will express all facets of gay life… We’re all different types of people. There’s lots of people who have anonymous sex. There’s also people looking for love. There’s people looking for an open relationship. There are also the queens. There are those you wouldn’t know were gay. It’s the gay experience.”

Meanwhile, news has broken this week that Groff and Zachary Quinto have quietly broken up. Quinto, who officially came out of the closet in 2011, confirmed his relationship with Groff the following year.

Earlier this week, a Perez Hilton “source” reported that things did “not end well” between the couple and that their split was “far from amiable”, however, Gossip Cop debunks this report saying “they remain friends,” and there is “nothing salacious” to the story.
