Rachel Sennott’s HBO comedy adds Taron Egerton and Jamie Chung for season two
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
HBO comedy "I Love LA" has confirmed six guest star additions for its second season, including Taron Egerton and Jamie Chung, as the show heads into production in Los Angeles. Created by and starring Rachel Sennott, the series follows Maia, an aspiring talent manager balancing relationships with her rising-star friend Tallulah and schoolteacher boyfriend Dylan, and had already earned a swift renewal on the strength of its opening episodes.
The new guest cast comprises Egerton, Chung, Benjamin Norris, Dylan Arnold, Jessy Hodges and Milan Carter, though their specific characters have not been disclosed. They join returning Season 1 stars Odessa A'zion, True Whitaker, Jordan Firstman and Josh Hutcherson. HBO greenlit the eight-episode second season in November 2025 after just three episodes of Season 1 had aired, an unusually fast pickup that signalled strong confidence in the show; production is now underway with no further casting or release details announced.

"I Love LA" is an HBO comedy created by and starring Rachel Sennott, an actor and writer known for films such as "Bottoms" and "Shiva Baby". The show follows Maia, an aspiring talent manager in Los Angeles, and explores her relationships and career ambitions alongside a group of friends played by actors including Odessa A'zion, Jordan Firstman and Josh Hutcherson.
HBO ordered a second season of the show unusually early, confirming it after only a handful of episodes of the first season had aired. This is generally seen as a strong vote of confidence from the network, since most series wait until a full season has been broadcast before a renewal decision is made.
Guest casting announcements, such as new actors joining a season already in production, are a routine part of how networks build anticipation for upcoming episodes. They typically come well before a season airs and before full plot or character details are made public.
