Did Minx leave you wanting more? That’s kind of the whole point, am I right, ladies? The HBO Max series is full of sexual liberation, debates about feminism, office romance, and more ’70s dirtbag fashion than you could dream up. It’s like they knew we’d all be doing shag haircuts and served up the inspo on a platter with some incredible comedy as a main course.
The show, if you have somehow stumbled here and don’t know WTF I’m talking about, is a fictional historical workplace comedy about a feminist journalist who finds that the best way to get her radical articles published is by starting the first erotic magazine for women. This causes her to expand her feminist worldview and make a lot of mistakes on her road to success. Now go watch it, come back here, and I’ll tell you what we know about Minx season 2.
First things first, is Minx getting a season 2?
Weeks after we tried to figure out what was going to happen next, there’s finally some good news for Minx fans. Season 2 is coming, this time over at Starz, which will be the show’s new home—including its season 1 episodes.
Previously, HBO Max canceled Minx even though it had been renewed for season 2 back in May. According to an article in Variety, the show had almost completed production on the second season when Warner Bros. Discovery canceled it as a cost-saving measure. And the first season was being taken off HBO Max, so you won’t be able to watch it there anymore. With its new home at Starz, you’re going to have to switch over there to give it a watch!
Wait, they were already filming?!
Jake Johnson posted this photo from set earlier this year confirming that they were back filming season.
And then he later confirmed that the show would be finishing up shooting for season 2 even though it was canceled by HBO Max.
Who in the Minx cast is returning for season 2?
It’s confirmed that Ophelia Lovibond and Jake in all his hairy-chested glory would return for the second season of Minx. And hopefully, Idara Victor, Jessica Lowe, Lennon Parham, Michael Angarano, and Oscar Montoya would be included in that as well.
When will Minx season 2 get here already?
The cast and crew have been hard at work ever since the show got picked up again and now it’s almost time for us to pick up an issue of our second favorite mag (we know we’re your first fave!) as new episodes drop on July 21. Oh, and Starz also gave us a first look at Doug and Joyce as they continue to do what they do best!
