Adult Publishing Dramedy Returns From The Dead

Jun 14, 2023

It is part of the unspoken agreement between Hollywood and audiences that there always be one high-quality period show that explores the boundaries between the entertainment industry and exploitation. For many years, Netflix held up its end of the bargain with “GLOW,” but the decision to cancel that show left a void that needed to be filled. Thankfully, as the new trailer for “Minx” seems to confirm, this show about adult entertainment and feminism in the 1970s will continue to pick up the slack.

The new trailer picks up where the first season left off. If you don’t know already, “Minx” is set in 1970s Los Angeles and centers on an earnest young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher to create the first erotic magazine for women (read our season one review here).
“Minx” stars Ophelia Lovibond (Guardians of the Galaxy, Rocketman) as “Joyce Prigger,” Jake Johnson (“New Girl,” Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) as “Doug Renetti,” Idara Victor (“Shameless,” Turn) as “Tina,” Jessica Lowe (“Righteous Gemstones,” “Miracle Workers”) as “Bambi,” Lennon Parham (“Bless This Mess,” “Better Things”) as “Shelly,” Oscar Montoya (“Dimension 20,” “Bless the Hearts”) as “Richie,” and Elizabeth Perkins (“The Afterparty,” “Barry”) as “Constance.”
Here’s the official synopsis for season two.
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. In season two, 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.
The show was created by Ellen Rapoport, with Paul Feig also serving as an executive producer under his Feigco Entertainment production banner.
As part of the platform’s infamous cost-cutting measures under David Zaslav, production on “Minx” was halted late in the second season when HBO Max began cutting back on its original programming. However, the death of the series was shortlived as Starz quickly obtained the rights to both the first and unfinished second seasons of the show.
“Minx” will premiere on Starz on July 21.
