Fans devastated by HBO's decision to cancel Looking last year will get to see how the stories of their favorite characters wrapped up this summer, as HBO as announced that the movie that is set to wrap up the show's story will debut on July 23.

Looking, which followed the stories of Patrick (Jonathan Groff), Agustin (Frankie J. Alvarez) and Dom (Murray Bartlett), three gay best friends navigating the dating scene in San Francisco and often reliving their experiences by sharing them with the sarcastic Doris (Lauren Weedman), ran for two seasons on the cable channel before it was canceled due to low ratings. Not long after canceling it, HBO announced a movie would be filmed in lieu of a third season, and would wrap up each character's stories to give fans closure.

Now, in a press release, HBO has revealed that the film will debut next month, and will see Patrick facing his demons and the confusing and complicated relationships with Richie (Raul Castillo) and Kevin (Russell Tovey) when he returns to San Francisco for a wedding, after living in Denver for nearly a year.

In addition, other characters returning to make an appearance in the film will be Eddie (Daniel Franzese), Mailk (Bashir Salahuddin), Brady (Chris Perfetti), Frank (O.T. Fagbenle) and Kyah (Jennifer Foster). New to the group will be Jimmy (Michael Rosen) and Jake (Derek Phillips).

Also making a special appearance will be Tyne Daly.

The movie was written by Andrew Haigh and Michael Lannan, directed by Haigh, and executive produced by Haigh, Lannan and Sarah Condon.

Since the show's cancellation, Groff has found success on the stage again, and was nominated for a Tony Award for his work on the Broadway smash hit Hamilton. Alvarez has appeared on episodes of The Good Wife, Law and Order: SVU and Madam Secretary, while Bartlett appeared on an episode of Limitless.

Looking: The Movie debuts Sunday, July 23 at 10 p.m. on HBO.
