00:00If you love chaotic, Gen Z-driven L.A. comedies, buckle up because I Love L.A. Season 2 is already shaping up to be the most talked-about show of the year.
00:09I Love L.A.
00:11Season 2 was announced even before Season 1 wrapped up, and honestly, no one was surprised.
00:16The show has been absolutely crushing it on HBO, pulling in nearly 2 million cross-platform viewers in the U.S. after its premiere making it one of HBO's fastest-growing original comedies.
00:27That success led to the Season 2 renewal announcement in November 2025, during HBO's 2026 Slate presentation in New York City.
00:36HBO even called it their second-top freshman comedy in platform history, which is a huge deal.
00:42The show was created by and stars Rachel Senat, best known for her roles in Shiva Baby and Bottoms.
00:49She's assembled an incredible cast of young Hollywood talent for this L.A.-based comedy.
00:54While some have dubbed it Girls for Gen Z, Senat prefers to call it Entourage for Internet, It Girls, and honestly, that's spot on.
01:02Senat plays Maya, a talent manager who lands Tallulah, her old college frenemy, played by Odessa Azayan as her client.
01:10Tallulah is a messy social media influencer with a possible kleptomania problem.
01:14The show is really about a dysfunctional group of friends navigating their late 20s in L.A., including a mix of transplants and Hollywood Nepo baby True Whitaker, who's Forrest Whitaker's daughter, and absolutely delightful in the role.
01:28Josh Hutcherson, a.k.a. Peeta Mellark, plays Dylan, Maya's underappreciated boyfriend.
01:34He's stuck surviving the tornado that is Maya and Tallulah's toxic friendship, and Hutcherson brings a charm that might just be his best role yet.
01:41For season two, expect around eight episodes, similar to season one.
01:46The core cast, including Senat, ASEAN, Whitaker, Hutcherson, and Jordan Firstman as Charlie, should all return.
01:53Leighton Meester's Alyssa and Lauren Holt's Courtney might not be back, since Maya quit her job at the end of season one.
02:00Fans are hoping for more celebrity cameos, especially after Elijah Wood's hilarious, self-deprecating turn in season one.
02:07And if Ayo Etabiri returns as pop sensation Mimi Rush, can we get Zendaya as her mom in a music video?
02:14Please and thank you.
02:15Season two will likely dive deeper into Maya and Tallulah's friendship, with drama from Dylan's hookup with Claire finally coming to light.
02:22It's gonna be messy, chaotic, and absolutely binge-worthy.
