Taron Egerton will join the Season 2 cast of HBO’s “I Love LA,” which is currently in production in Los Angeles.
The “Rocketman” star will be accompanied by Jamie Chung (“Princess Protection Program,” “Lovecraft Country”), Benjamin Norris (“Never Have I Ever,” “Abbott Elementary”), Dylan Arnold (“Oppenheimer”), Jessy Hodges (“Barry,” “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed”) and Milan Carter (“It’s Florida Man,” “Fubar”) in guest roles for this season of the comedy series.
Exact character details for the guest stars are still under wraps.
Series creator Rachel Sennott leads the cast of the HBO series as Maia, an aspiring social media talent manager, who juggles her complicated platonic and romantic relationships particularly with college friend-turned-client Tallulah (Odessa A’zion) and her teacher boyfriend Dylan (Josh Hutcherson).
True Whitaker and Jordan Firstman will also return for Season 2 as series regulars. The series will be eight episodes but has not set a premiere date.
“I Love LA” emerged as a hit for HBO, earning an early Season 2 renewal last November after just three episodes were released. The series averaged 2 million viewers live-plus-three numbers across HBO and streaming toward the end of its run.
Sennott created the comedy series and executive produces it alongside Emma Barrie, Aida Rodgers, Max Silvestri, and Lorene Scafaria.
