In Season 3 of the Golden Globe Award-winning comedy series GIRLS, Hannah (Lena Dunham) is now in a committed relationship with Adam (Adam Driver, Lincoln), and the two are settling into a newfound domesticity in Hannah’s apartment. Hannah is also working on rehabilitating her writing career and concentrating on delivering her eBook to her eccentric publisher. Meanwhile, Marnie (Allison Williams) is adjusting to life after a sudden and traumatic breakup with Charlie and meticulously working to achieve the life she feels she deserves. Nearing graduation, newly single Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) masterminds a plan to create a healthy balance between partying and her studies. And, continuing her streak of disrupting the lives of those around her, Jessa (Jemima Kirke) resurfaces and strikes up an ambiguous friendship with a flamboyant father figure. Over this season’s 12 episodes, the friendships between the girls are more volatile than ever, proving that female friendships have their own kind of romance.

LOOKING offers up the unfiltered experiences of three close friends living – and loving – in modern-day San Francisco. Friendship may bind them, but each is at a distinctly different point in his journey: Patrick (Jonathan Groff, Frozen) is the 29-year-old video game designer getting back into the dating world in the wake of his ex’s engagement; aspiring artist Agustín (Frankie J. Alvarez, SMASH), 31, is questioning the idea of monogamy amid a move to domesticate with his boyfriend; and the group’s oldest member, long-time waiter Dom (Murray Bartlett, GUIDING LIGHT), 39, is facing middle age with romantic and professional dreams still unfulfilled. The trio’s stories intertwine and unspool dramatically as they search for happiness and intimacy in an age of unparalleled choices and rights for gay men. Rounding out the LOOKING world are Dom’s roommate Doris (Lauren Weedman, The Five-Year Engagement) Agustín’s boyfriend Frank (O.T. Fagbenle, MATERIAL GIRL), and Patrick’s co-worker Owen (Andrew Law, 30 ROCK), as well as love interests Kevin (Russell Tovey, HIM & HER), Lynn (Scott Bakula, BEHIND THE CANDELABRA), and Richie (Raúl Castillo, Cold Weather).
