Quick Links Minx Season 3 Is Canceled Minx Season 3 Cast Minx Season 3 Story Minx has officially been canceled by Starz, effectively ending the show forever. The season 2 finale left plenty of plot threads for Minx season 3 to explore, including the aftermath of Joyce's rebellious act. The core cast, including Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson, were expected to return for season 3 if it was renewed, along with other characters like Bambi and Constance.

Minx season 3 was more than teased by the cliffhanger-heavy season 2 finale, but the period comedy has once again been canceled. The raunchy comedy Minx received praise for its quirky characters and colorful 1970's world of adult magazine publishing, detailing the story of the first erotic magazine aimed at the female market. Minx debuted on HBO Max in 2022 before moving over to Starz for 2023's season 2.

HBO's decision to cancel Minx was again called into question when reviews for Minx season 2 rolled in,...

Minx didn’t have much luck. After being canceled by HBO Max after one season, the erotic comedy was saved by Starz, but Minx has been canceled yet again following its second season.

The news isn’t all that surprising, but still a blow for fans of the series. Set in 1970s Los Angeles, Minx stars Ophelia Lovibond as Joyce, an “earnest young feminist who joins forces with low-rent publisher (Jake Johnson) to create the first erotic magazine for women.” In addition to Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson, Minx also stars Idara Victor, Jessica Lowe, Lennon Parham, Michael Angarano, and Oscar Montoya. The first season stands at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, although its audience score is much lower.

Minx season 3 was officially canceled, leaving fans disappointed. Starz ends '70s-set comedy show despite a previous revival. Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson's Minx won't return for season 3

Minx season 3 isn’t happening, as the period comedy show has been canceled for the second time. Canceled for the first time by Max after an acclaimed season 1, Minx was given a second chance at life when season 2 was picked up by Starz. The ‘70s-set comedy charting the rise of a scrappy feminist magazine scored with critics in its second go-around, as reflected in season 2’s 89% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, sparking hopes of a third season.

Those high Minx season 3 hopes have unfortunately been dashed, however, as Starz has now itself canceled the show (via Deadline). The move comes on the heels of Starz canceling its comedy Shining Vale, which was also removed from its streaming platforms. Starz executives reportedly...

Starz will not be proceeding with a third season of 1970s-set series Minx.

The news is not surprising. Minx star Jake Johnson told Deadline last month that he did not expect a Season 3 renewal for the period erotic comedy, whose Season 2 finale aired Sept. 8.

Starz last January stepped in to rescue Minx, starring Ophelia Lovibond and Johnson, following the series’ cancellation by Max (then HBO Max) as part of cost-cutting tax write-offs while production was wrapping on Season 2. The premium network, which is in the process of cutting ties with owner Lionsgate, picked up both Season 1 and the unaired Season 2 of Minx, which is produced by Lionsgate Television. Both seasons will remain on the Starz app and all major platforms.

Speaking with Deadline, Johnson, who had cut his hair short in anticipation of the cancellation, referenced of Minx‘s first axing and the challenges the show faced by its second...

Bottom Dollar is closing shop.

Starz has opted to cancel Minx, the comedy about the first porn magazine for women, after a two-season run. The news comes after the series from creator Ellen Rapoport was originally developed for Warner Bros. Discovery streamer Max, which aired the first season and paid for a second before ultimately scrapping the show as a tax write-off with mere days remaining before production on the sophomore run was completed.

Minx was shopped by producers Lionsgate Television with the studio ultimately setting up the comedy starring Jake Johnson and Ophelia Lovibond at Starz, which is currently controlled by its parent company, Lionsgate. Max effectively paid to produce season two, with Lionsgate footing the bill to complete production and market season two. The second season premiered in July, in the thick of the writers and performers’ strikes making it challenging for cast members and producers to promote the show’s return.

“Minx” has been canceled at Starz, Variety has learned.

This now marks the second time the series has been canceled. The first season of the comedy originally aired on Max, where it was renewed for a second season before it was canceled in a cost-cutting move.

Starz then announced that they had acquired the second season of the show and would air it along with the first. Season 2 debuted on Starz on July 21. Both seasons remain available to stream on the Starz app and platforms.

The show received positive reviews from critics, holding an average critical approval rating of 93% over both seasons on Rotten Tomatoes. It failed to find a large audience, however, with the linear airings on Starz of Season 2 averaging less than 100,000 viewers per episode. There is no streaming viewership data publicly available for the series.

“Minx” was set in 1970s Los Angeles. Per the official logline, the...

It looks like Minx won't be back for a third season. Star and executive producer Jake Johnson isn't expecting Starz to renew the low-rated series. Season two finished airing on the cable channel in early September.

A comedy series, the Minx TV show stars Ophelia Lovibond, Johnson, Idara Victor, Jessica Lowe, Lennon Parham, Oscar Montoya, and Elizabeth Perkins. Set in Los Angeles in the 1970s, the story revolves around Joyce Prigger (Lovibond), an earnest young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher named Doug Renetti (Johnson). Together, they create the first erotic magazine for women, Minx. Through this partnership, they discover meaningful relationships in unexpected places. In season two, after Doug and Joyce sell Bottom Dollar to a retired shipping magnate with unlimited money and power, Minx becomes a commercial success, bringing more money, more fame, and more...

A third season of Starz’s period erotic comedy Minx isn’t likely in the cards, according to co-ep and star Jake Johnson.

In a recent Zoom chat with Deadline, the actor shared that he hasn’t heard anything about a final decision. “But by evidence of me cutting my hair short,” he said, “I don’t [expect a renewal].”

“I think the move to Starz, I think HBO kind of doing their HBO thing, or HBO Max, whatever it’s called now, I think that was brutal for [the show],” Johnson reflected. “Then, I think the strike coming out right as we were trying to promote it…My guess is you can’t beat something up that many times and keep going.”

Johnson called the hampering of the show’s success, simply as a result of the turbulent Hollywood moment in which it debuted, “unfortunate,” given his feeling that “there was a lot to that show.

In Hear Me Out, Primetimer staffers and contributors espouse their pet theories, hot takes, and even the occasional galaxy-brain idea.

Bottom Dollar is no more. The scrappy porn publisher at the center of Starz’s Minx has been replaced with a shiny new conglomerate — Papadopoulos-Renetti Global — that puts Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson) back on top, and at odds with his former co-workers. It’s a not-so-surprising turn of events, as their publisher and one-time savior Constance Papadopoulos (Elizabeth Perkins) spent much of Season 2 shaking up the company structure and, by extension, the group dynamic. The billionaire widow may have seemed impressed by Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond) and Doug’s efforts, even taking the time to bestow praise and promotions on art director Richie (Oscar Montoya) and managing editor Tina (Idara Victor), but she was covertly planning a seismic overhaul of Bottom Dollar Publications.

Minx season 3 could see a battle for the heart and soul of the magazine, with Joyce and Doug's relationship taking a dramatic turn. Creator Ellen Rapoport is hopeful for more episodes, expressing interest in exploring new storylines and characters. The future of Minx season 3 is uncertain, but the previous cancellation and renewal by Starz give hope that the show could return.

Minx season 3 gets a hopeful update from creator Ellen Rapoport. The series premiered on Max in 2022, before moving to Starz almost a year later, and has been praised by critics for its tone and the performances of leads Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson. Set in the 1970s, it follows a young feminist named Joyce Prigger and her unlikely partnership with publisher Doug Renetti to create an erotic magazine for women. Along with Lovibond and Johnson, Minx cast includes Jessica Lowe, Oscar Montoya, Lennon Parham, and Idara Victor.

[This story contains spoilers from the season two finale of Minx, “Woman of the Hour.”]

In Minx‘s season two finale, the Bottom Dollar gang reunites to hit back at Constance Papadopoulos’ takeover, which has not only reshaped the magazine (titled “Minx”) but slowly revealed itself as more hostile than (almost) anyone realized.

While much of the group catches on in the finale, Doug (Jake Johnson) was the first to see Constance’s (Elizabeth Perkins) moves for what they were, bringing the evidence to Tina (Idara Victor) in the season’s penultimate episode while she was on a cabin-in-the-woods retreat with Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond) finding new women to join the Minx staff.

But the magazine’s international operations — promised to Doug by Joyce — were handed to Tina by Constance. Earlier in the season, Tina also turned down Doug’s marriage proposal after they both attended her family dinner, where Doug discovered she never told her family they were dating. As a result,...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of “Minx”

“Minx” has wrapped up its second season in fine fashion.

In Ellen Rapoport’s Starz comedy (formerly Max comedy) aired its Season 2 finale on Friday night, with all of the characters finding themselves grappling with a new reality as “Minx” magazine goes to the next level.

Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond), Richie (Oscar Montoya), Tina (Idara Victor), and Bambi (Jessica Lowe) made their stand against Constance (Elizabeth Perkins), while Doug (Jake Johnson) finds himself in bed with her…literally. Meanwhile, Shelly (Lennon Parham) is embracing her newfound sexual awakening and its effect on her family, but Bambi may just be what her husband Lenny (Rich Sommer) is looking for and vice versa.

Throughout the season, each character has dealt with the concept of success — both the highs and the lows. For the most part, they have been able to enjoy...

[The following story includes spoilers for Minx season two.]

In the second season of Minx, Idara Victor’s Tina and Oscar Montoya’s Richie have not only gotten expanded storylines but also a tighter relationship.

It’s a noticeable screen time pivot for the duo, who frequently found themselves on opposite sides of the Bottom Dollar coin during the show’s first season. That hasn’t quite changed in season two, but as Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond) and Doug (Jake Johnson) seemingly move farther apart with the presence of Minx‘s new wealthy investor Constance Papadopoulos (Elizabeth Perkins), the business-minded Tina and artistic-minded Richie have come to find solace in one another amid the chaos.

And much in line with the second season’s theme of “getting bigger” and “going harder,” in the first six episodes of the Starz show’s second run, viewers have been given substantial looks at both Oscar and Tina’s home lives,...

[This story contains spoilers from Minx season two, episode four: “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sexiness.”]

In Minx‘s second season, Ophelia Lovibond’s Joyce Prigger is finally wearing the pants when it comes to control over the magazine’s business and creative content decisions.

Her reunion with Jake Johnson’s publisher Doug Renetti — after his ego let her walk away from the magazine last season — has resulted in a new hierarchy at the publication (titled “Minx”). One where the magazine has returned better than ever, but with the financial backing of Elizabeth Perkins’ Constance Papadopoulos, a billionaire shipping magnate who has sparred with men for control in her own life.

And she has given Joyce majority control, allowing Minx’s co-founder and concept creator to finally envision the magazine how she wants — with fewer compromises.

“I think she’s enjoying the power and being able to pack her opinions with a punch,” Lovibond...

Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson) is putting everything he has into the brand for Minx‘s latest episode, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sexiness,” and we have your exclusive first look at his efforts. As the episode logline teases, Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond) is letting herself get a little sidetracked by a new romantic connection while Doug and Bambi (Jessica Lowe) work together to create “Club Minx,” a potential extension of the brand. Their efforts yield exciting results for onlookers in the sneak peek clip above, which sees Doug working his magic to make male dancers shine and excite the audience. (Credit: Starz) While Joyce, Constance (Elizabeth Perkins), and Tina (Idara Victor) observe the performance among the audience, Doug watches from the sidelines, miming moves and motivating the dancers. When he goes backstage, he’s asked to do the last looks on one of the dancers by Bambi and Shelly (Lennon Parham...

HBO Max renewed and then cancelled Minx before its second season could be completed. Starz, which has cancelled plenty of its own series, picked up the completed episodes likely because they could be licensed at a relatively low cost. Is there a chance that Starz will want to pay to restart production for a third season? Will Minx be cancelled or renewed? Stay tuned.

Season two of Minx is currently airing on Starz, and Jake Johnson recently spoke about how the cable channel saved the series following HBO Max's abrupt cancellation in December. Starz, a channel that had dropped some of its own shows, picked up the Minx series in January.

Starring Johnson, Ophelia Lovibond, Idara Victor, Jessica Lowe, Lennon Parham, Michael Angarano, and Oscar Montoya, Minx follows the creation of the first erotic magazine for women.

The cast and crew of Minx can’t be shy. The series, which started on Max and found new life on Starz for Season 2, is all about male nudity — prominently displayed penises are the norm. But at the same time, the point of the show is to not objectify or shock in those moments, but celebrate and normalize seeing the male form through a female gaze. Before even filming Season 1, series creator Ellen Rapoport sent packages to everyone on the cast to set the tone for what to expect on set.

“When we first got the [roles], Ellen sent all of us vintage Playgirl magazines,” Idara Victor told Primetimer during a press day in June, a month before SAG-AFTRA joined the WGA on strike. “It was a whole package of Playgirl magazines and it was an immediate launch into the world that we were going to be entering.”...

During a star-studded promotional screening of “Deep Throat,” Joan Didion shares a prescient observation. She doesn’t want to — at least, not in that moment. All she wants is to enjoy the lavish party put on to promote Minx magazine. Check that: All she really wants is to be left in peace to use the restroom, but Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond), the editor-in-chief of Minx, can’t contain her giddy inquiries long enough for the acclaimed journalist to relieve her bladder. Joyce wants Joan to write for the magazine; something about “Deep Throat” and what it reflects about the shifting ‘70s culture, if not society at large. Joan isn’t all that interested, and instead encourages Joyce to pen the piece herself — but not before offering her reluctant, rushed assessment of the landmark porno being screened in the adjacent auditorium. “I don’t think it was their intent,” Joan says,...

About ‘Minx’ Season 2 Premiere

The workplace comedy “Minx” is set in 1970s Los Angeles where Joyce, an earnest young feminist, joins forces with a low-rent publisher to create the first erotic magazine for women.

Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson lead the cast that also stars Michael Angarano,...

Minx‘s tortuous path to Season 2 might’ve been a nail-biter for the fans — HBO Max renewed the comedy in May 2022, then cancelled it that December — but Starz’s quick decision to keep the show going meant that the cast knew fairly soon that Bottom Dollar Production’s doors would stay open.

And as a bonus, Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson point out in the video above, the outcry meant everyone involved in making the show had a really good sense that people were watching.

How groovy is the tagline for season two of Minx: “Getting bigger, going harder.” The show delivers on that front, and then some. Between the addition of Elizabeth Perkins (The Afterparty) as a wealthy investor and several effective story arcs about sex, sexuality, power plays, feminism, and schlong tennis — you just have to watch for yourself — Minx is as creatively fertile as ever. Thanks to Starz.

The fetching series was dropped by HBO after already being picked up for a second season by the cable powerhouse, a move that star Jake Johnson recently called “f***king gross.” Thankfully, Starz scooped up the inventive 1970s comedy about an earnest feminist, Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond of Guardians of the Galaxy), who joins forces with a shady publisher, Doug (played by Johnson) to give birth to the first erotic magazine for women.

In season two, Doug, Joyce, and the entire Bottom Dollar crew...

When Minx premiered on HBO Max in March 2022, it opened to positive reviews. A month after its release, the series earned a second season renewal. All was well and on schedule, until December, when the series was abruptly canceled in a cost-cutting move stemming from the WarnerMedia and Discovery Merger. When the news hit, filming for the series' sophomore season was well underway. Cancelation of Minx came as a bit of a shock considering the positive feedback the first season had received. Jake Johnson, who stars in and co-executive produces the series, opened up about learning of the show's cancelation in a recent conversation with The Hollywood Reporter.

"I found out with everybody else when the news broke. It was more of an existential hit, for me. It wasn’t creative or personal. It was just a huge corporation doing a snaky numbers move. The more these people keep pushing,...

Jake Johnson opens up about Max's controversial content purge, which led to the cancelation of Minx, calling it "f--king gross." The raunchy comedy has since been rescued by Starz, which will premiere Minx season 2 on Friday, July 21. The upcoming eight-episode installment was likely helped by the fact that the show is produced by Lionsgate Television. Given that Lionsgate is the owner of Starz, and Minx season 2 was already largely completed by the time it had been canceled and removed by Max, it was a natural fit.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about Minx's removal and Starz revival, Johnson doesn't hold back. Also a producer on the series, Johnson says that he learned about the cancelation right as everyone else did. In his quote, which is included below, the New Girl alum doesn't mince words and explains why he views the content purge as "f--king gross":

Season 2 of the hit workplace comedy debuts on Starz after a network switcheroo from then-hbo Max. Critically acclaimed “Minx” was canceled by now-Max after wrapping production on Season 2 late last year, with Starz later acquiring the Lionsgate-produced series.

Ophelia Lovibond is back as Minx Magazine founder Joyce, along with her publisher Doug, played by Jake Johnson. “Minx,” set in 1970s LA, centers around Joyce, an earnest young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher to create the first erotic magazine for women. In Season 2, per the official synopsis, Doug, Joyce, and the entire Bottom Dollar crew grapple with Minx’s explosive success, which takes them all to thrilling new places and brings more money, fame and temptation than anyone knows how to handle.

Minx is set in 1970s Los Angeles and centers around Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond), an earnest young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher (Jake Johnson) to create the first erotic magazine for women. In season 2, Doug and Joyce don't know how to deal with Minx’s unprecedented success, leading them to struggle in unexpected areas of their lives.

Doug and Joyce aren't the only ones forced to deal with temptations. Minx photographer Richie (Oscar Montoya) and Doug's so much more than just a secretary, Tina (Idara Victor), also end up in the spotlight and under pressure like they have never felt before. Season 2 of Minx premieres on the Starz network and app on Friday, July 21st.

The premiere of Minx season 2 is nigh, and the clever comedy is celebrating its new home on Starz. Set in the 1970s, Minx follows Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond) and Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson) in their quest to create the first porn magazine for women in Los Angeles. The series also stars Idara Victor as Tina, Jessica Lowe as Bambi, Lennon Parham as Shelly, and Oscar Montoya as Richie — with the iconic Elizabeth Perkins joining season 2 as Constance.

Despite the wave of critical acclaim and early renewal, HBO Max canceled Minx while it was in the middle of filming season 2. Luckily, production on the new episodes continued, which allowed the socially conscious and devilishly humorous series to be rescued by Starz. The new season will release on the Starz app on July 21 at midnight, followed by the premiere of the first episode on the Starz channel at 9pm.

According the official press release the fifth season picks up after “Nandor feels his familiar (and sometimes friend) Guillermo slipping away as he seems to be spending much more time with Laszlo. Nadja, suffering the effects of a previously-undiagnosed supernatural hex, reconnects with her family — or at least, a family — from the Old Country. Colin pursues the path of so many energy vampires before him by running for political office and The Guide tries to figure out where she fits in as the relative newcomer to this tightly-knit group.

It's been a bumpy ride for the Minx team, but as the new trailer for season two indicates, the team is "back and better than ever." The trailer, which you can watch below, teases better times for editor Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond) and publisher Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson) who found themselves at odds during the series' first season. The magazine crew is now enjoying success, as apparent by the wads of cash, fancy dresses, and champagne-sipping as seen below.

Minx premiered on HBO Max in March 2022 and quickly gained critical praise. Just one month after its debut, the series earned a renewal for a sophomore season. But in December, when filming for season two was near completion, news dropped that the series had been canceled as a result of the WarnerMedia and Discovery merger. At the time, Lionsgate began shopping the well-received series, and in January, the cast, crew, and...

The Minx crew is back and “better than ever” in the trailer for the show’s anticipated second season.

In the two-minute look at the series’ sophomore run, Ophelia Lovibond’s Joyce and Jake Johnson’s Doug have reunited despite a rocky falling out at the end of season one. Back together and with a new power dynamic, the success of their “51/49” ownership in the growing Minx brand is arguably more than they and the Bottom Dollar team can handle.

Rolling Stone coverage, suitcases of cash and the promise of “something so much more than a magazine,” abound amid the flashing bulbs of red carpets, cigar smoke and male exotic dance numbers. But with “global” success comes temptations, and Doug, Joyce and the Bottom Dollar crew will have to face them head on.

The second season comes after the series, which was formerly on HBO Max (now Max), was canceled...

Minx is thriving under Joyce's (Ophelia Lovibond) leadership, and we can't wait to see what's on tap for everyone.

Starz went public with the trailer for Minx Season 2 on Wednesday, and it shows the magazine reaching dizzying heights.

There's even a perfectly timed bit of dialogue from Jake Johnson's Doug at the beginning:

"A lot of people counted us out. But we are back and better than ever!"

Many did count the show out after HBO Max canceled Minx after one season.

We have Starz to thank for picking up Minx Season 2 because this show is a true gem, and the story deserves to be told.

It's a rarity to have such a refreshing show on the air, and thankfully, we'll have fresh episodes when Minx Season 2 debuts Friday, July 21.

The trailer promises to up the ante both on the show and for the magazine.

Porn magazine comedy “Minx” is slinking back onscreen thanks to Starz.

While Max (then HBO Max) canceled the series after wrapping production on Season 2 late last year, Starz acquired the critically acclaimed Lionsgate comedy led by Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson.

Per the official synopsis, set in 1970s Los Angeles,”“Minx” centers around Joyce (Lovibond), an earnest young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher (Johnson) to create the first erotic magazine for women. In Season 2, Doug, Joyce, and the entire Bottom Dollar crew grapple with Minx’s explosive success, which takes them all to thrilling new places and brings more money, fame and temptation than anyone knows how to handle.

Idara Victor, Jessica Lowe, Lennon Parham, Oscar Montoya, and Elizabeth Perkins also star.

The end of Season 1 saw Doug giving Joyce full ownership of the nude male magazine. The trailer for the second season shows Minx gracing the...

“A lot of people counted us out. But we are back and better than ever!” Jake Johnson’s Doug boasts at the top of Minx‘s Season 2 trailer. And the same sentiment applies to the comedy itself, which was renewed at Max, then abruptly cancelled, then saved by Starz for its sophomore season.

The video sneak peek, released Wednesday, hints at how things went after Jake Johnson’s Doug gave Ophelia Lovibond’s Joyce full ownership of the male nude magazine at the end of Season 1. (Read a full recap.) The trailer shows Joyce poised to sign with a big-time publisher,...

Minx, the acclaimed workplace comedy about the inner workings of a Playgirl-esque magazine with a feminist twist, has unveiled the first trailer for the Starz series’ much-anticipated second season.

“Set in 1970s Los Angeles, Minx centers around Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond), an earnest young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher (Jake Johnson) to create the first erotic magazine for women,” Starz said in its Season 2 synopsis. “In season two, Doug, Joyce and the entire Bottom Dollar crew grapple with Minx’s explosive success, which takes them all to thrilling...

Minx is returning for its second season this summer on Starz. Season one aired on HBO Max, and the show was renewed but the streaming service cancelled the comedy series before production on season two could be completed. Efforts to find a new home for the comedy brought the series to Starz.

Starring Ophelia Lovibond, Idara Victor, Jessica Lowe, Lennon Parham, Michael Angarano, Oscar Montoya, and Jake Johnson, the series follows the events surrounding the creation of the first erotic magazine for women in 1970s Los Angeles. Showrunner Ellen Rapoport created the series.

It's been quite a rollercoaster ride for Minx, but the series' second season will premiere on July 21 on Starz. Minx premiered on HBO Max in March 2022 and quickly earned a series renewal that May. However, HBO Max reversed that order and canceled the series in December, during its final week of production, following the WarnerMedia and Discovery merger. It was a shock for the well-received series, but its cast and crew remained hopeful that the series would find a new home. And it did. The series was picked up by Starz the following month. At the time, series creator Ellen Rapoport shared, "I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining the Starz family, and for the opportunity to introduce Minx to a brand new audience. We've found the perfect home. Our writers, cast and crew have created something truly special in Season 2, and I can't wait for everyone to see it."

Minx...

Thank your lucky Starz, "Minx" fans. A second season is back on the schedule - and coming soon. HBO Max ordered a second installment of the popular show in May 2022 but changed its mind in December 2022 amid cost-cutting measures (all this despite the fact that production for the new season was nearly complete). A month later, Starz announced it had reached a deal to acquire the show and air the second season. Now, Starz has revealed that "Minx" will return this summer.

Set in Los Angeles on the backdrop of the 1970s sexual revolution, "Minx" is a workplace comedy that follows a team working to create and distribute an erotic magazine for women. Young feminist Joyce Prigger, played by Ophelia Lovibond, is the mastermind behind an inspired-by-real-magazines publication called "Minx." She has to deal with a less-than-ideal ex-boyfriend Glenn (played by Michael Angarano) and a publisher who pushes her away...

It's hard to believe that Minx Season 2 will finally see the light of day this summer.

After HBO Max canceled the comedy, it seemed there was no way forward.

On linear, it will debut on Starz at 9 Pm Et/Pt in the U.S. and Canada.

The first season is also available to stream on the Starz app.

Set in 1970s Los Angeles, Minx centers around Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond), an earnest young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher (Jake Johnson) to create the first erotic magazine for women.
