The critically praised comedy series Minx has been renewed for seasons one and two, according to STARZ. HBO Max canceled the show after its first season, which starred Jake Johnson and Ophelia Lovibond as an odd couple.
In the 1970s Los Angeles setting of Minx, Joyce (Lovibond), a dedicated young feminist, teams up with a pornographer (Johnson) to launch the first erotic magazine for women. A season one HBO Max premiere aired in March 2022 with mostly positive reviews. However, despite the fact that season 2 of Minx was almost finished, the show was canceled in December.
Minx Season 2
Starz has chosen Minx now, and season 2 will debut there alone. With our commitment to narratives by, about, and for women, we have always felt that this show would be the ideal fit for our brand, said Jeffrey Hirsch, President and CEO of STARZ, in a statement. “STARZ is honored to host this fantastic show, which has received well-deserving critical acclaim, in its new home. We can’t wait to bring the second season of “Minx” to its devoted fans and are thrilled to welcome Ellen and the talented “Minx” team to the network.
Will there be a season 2 of Minx?
After trying to predict what would happen next for weeks, Minx fans can now finally rejoice. The second season of the television series, which will include all of the season 1 episode, will premiere on Starz.
HBO Max had previously canceled Minx despite it being renewed for a second season back in May. The show was reportedly almost finished with production on season 2 when Warner Bros. Discovery decided to cancel it in order to save money. You won’t be able to access the first season on HBO Max any longer because it was removed from the service. Fortunately, Lionsgate, the show’s producer, shopped it around and it is currently airing!
The cast of Minx Season 2
Jake Johnson and Ophelia Lovibond would almost certainly return for a second season as Joyce and Doug, respectively. They resemble two halves of the same whole, according to Rapoport, who spoke to Script Mag. “I believe they both possess the qualifications necessary to succeed as a person in the field of business. I believe she is passionate, idealistic, and truly motivated to bring about change. And he strikes me as being obstinately pragmatic.
The Minx personnel, including Jessica Lowe as Bambi, Oscar Montoya as Richie, Lennon Parham as Shelly, and Idara Victor as Tina, are also anticipated to make a comeback. It’s a “deep bench” of actors, Feig said to Collider, adding that he’d “want to see every one of them have their own tale” moving forward.
Elizabeth Perkins Joins Minx Season 2’s Cast
Elizabeth Perkins joined the cast in September 2022 and was given a recurring part.
She will feature in a season-long arc as Constance, a wealthy widow of a Greek shipping mogul, according to Deadline. On a horse, the actress appeared to be quite wealthy in a behind-the-scenes photo that she posted on Instagram.
Big, About Last Night, and He Said, She Said are the movies in which Elizabeth Perkins is best recognized for playing. Fans may also be familiar with her from appearances in the TV series This Is Us, Sharp Objects, Weeds, and Truth Be Told on AppleTV+.
The plot of Minx Season 2
Phelia Lovibond plays the part of Joyce. She is an editor who is motivated to produce an erotica magazine with solely female readers. Things are not going as she had hoped, as she is being turned down by male editors wherever she goes, from webinars to writers’ festivals and publishing competitions. Joyce runs into Doug Rendetti just as one of the men makes a harsh remark about the magazine cover, just as Joyce is about to quit.
Rendetti informs Joyce that she must make her writing pornographic in order to enable him to publish it. Joyce is at first unenthusiastic about the idea, but she chooses to go all-in after Rendetti makes it clear that it will only be a tool for men to publish stuff in a few years.
The Release Date for Minx Season 2
HBO Max renewed Minx for a season 2 on May 5, 2022. As a result, it is not yet able to specify a release date for season 2. However, we may presume that it will happen next spring, in 2023, one year after season 1.
Like the first season, the new one could include ten episodes. In the next months, comprehensive information regarding the upcoming season will be made public.
Minx Season 2 Premieres On Starz
Let’s go back to May 2022, when Minx received a renewal from HBO Max following its March launch. The cast and crew were clearly happy, HBO Max was delighted, and the fans were happy. When HBO made the decision to cancel the renewal, the following season’s production was already well underway.
The cancellation of the HBO Max series was confirmed by Deadline in December. However, the owner of Minx, Lionsgate TV, issued a formal statement that encouraged viewers. In response to the cancellation, it stated that manufacturing would go on while the business searching for a new location.
Deadline claims that Starz “pursued Minx” and seized the chance to add it to its network. However, it was confirmed that Season 1 episodes would be accessible in Starz’s library now that it has been taken off HBO Max. We do not yet know when viewers can anticipate the new season to begin on the cable network.
