HBO has canceled the gay TV series Looking, according to Variety. The series followed a group of gay men in San Francisco, including the HIV-positive Eddie, played by Daniel Franzese. Plotlines of the show included HIV testing and taking Truvada as PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis.

The series just ended its second season on March 22, but HBO says it will film a special to wrap up the story.

“After two years of following Patrick and his tight-knit group of friends as they explored San Francisco in search of love and lasting relationships, HBO will present the final chapter of their journey as a special,” HBO said in a statement. “We look forward to sharing this adventure with the shows loyal fans.”
