Premiere of Minx season 2 is approaching, and the witty comedy is excited to have found a new home on STARZ. Taking place in the 1970s, Minx follows Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond) and Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson) as they embark on their mission to create the first women's porn magazine in Los Angeles. The show also features Idara Victor as Tina, Jessica Lowe as Bambi, Lennon Parham as Shelly, and Oscar Montoya as Richie, with the addition of the iconic Elizabeth Perkins as Constance in season 2.
Despite receiving critical acclaim and being renewed early on, HBO Max unexpectedly cancelled Minx during the filming of season 2. Fortunately, production on the new episodes persisted, which allowed the socially aware and delightfully comedic series to find a new home on STARZ. The new season will be available on the STARZ app starting at midnight on July 21, followed by the premiere of the first episode on the STARZ channel at 9pm.
What To Expect From Minx Season 2
In season 1 of Minx, the magazine faced various challenges, such as lawsuits and the possibility of a pornography ban in the city. Despite these obstacles, Doug grants Joyce full creative control of Minx. However, Bottom Dollar Publications is experiencing a severe financial crisis. Shelley and Bambi, on the other hand, give in to their mutual attraction despite Shelley's uncertainty about leaving her husband and children.
Following the release of Minx season 2 on STARZ, the trailer is unveiled, promising a revitalized series and magazine. Doug and Joyce sell Bottom Dollar to a retired shipping magnate, resulting in unexpected success for the magazine. As new leadership takes over, Doug struggles to maintain control while Joyce grapples with staying true to her principles amid her newfound fame.
Minx has received praise for its outstanding cast and feminist perspective on the era, but it also delivers an unexpectedly sex-positive message that appeals to both men and women. Johnson, who is currently enjoying a career high with the success of both Minx and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and Lovibond are the linchpins of the show, while the ensemble cast keeps the humor flowing and the storylines captivating in every episode. The combination of the '70s aesthetic with modern sensibilities creates a refreshing and entertaining experience in historical fiction, rather than a dull and educational one.
Don't miss the premiere of Minx season 2 on July 21, exclusively on STARZ and the STARZ App.
