  We discuss recent progress towards extending the Helac framework to the
calculation of two-loop amplitudes. A general algorithm for the automated
computation of two-loop integrands is described. The algorithm covers all the
steps of the computation, from the generation of loop topologies up to the
construction of recursion relations for two loop integrands. Finally, first
steps towards the formulation of a new approach for reducing two-loop
amplitudes to a basis of master integrals are discussed.
