It’s been a rough road for season 2 of Minx, everyone’s favorite show about big feminist ideals and even bigger dongs. After the success of season 1, which aired on HBO Max last spring, season 2 was swiftly greenlighted. However, after David Zaslav took over Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of HBO Max, the streaming platform began slashing content right and left—including Minx, even though production on season 2 was nearly complete.
However, the cast and crew finished filming and eventually sold the show to Starz. Now, we’ve finally been blessed with a trailer!
In the trailer, Joyce is moving up in the world of feminist pornographic publishing. She’s about to sign a deal with a hoity toity publisher—but wait! Doug is tapping at the glass, trying to woo her back to Bottom Dollar! How will that work out, considering they had to shut down Minx due to backlash?
Looks like they’ll figure it out. In the trailer, we see Joyce and the rest of the Bottom Dollar crowd enjoying glitzy parties, R-rated performances, huge piles of cash, and the sweet taste of success. Plus, Bambi and Shelly are an item now! It seems like Joyce is also loosening up a bit, joking with reporters and fully embracing her reputation as Minx‘s founder.
But Joyce isn’t letting go of her feminist ideals. She asks a crowded auditorium if any guy in attendance knows where the clitoris is, and the results are predictably depressing.
Here’s everything else we know about Minx season 2 so far!
Minx season 2 plot: What is Minx season 2 about?
According to the official description from Starz, 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 and Joyce grapple with Minx’s explosive success, which brings more money, fame and temptation than either of them know how to handle.”
Season 1 left off on some exciting cliffhangers. Joyce and Doug (Johnson) are forced to shut down Minx after conservatives and feminists alike object to all the dongs. However, there’s nothing stopping them from starting up a new project, and Doug hands Joyce creative control of the magazine so that she can strike out on her own. Meanwhile, Joyce’s sister Shelly (Lennon Parham) starts a fling with Bambi (Jessica Lowe), but then seems to return to her lackluster marriage. Where will the series go from here? It’s anyone’s guess!
Minx season 2 cast: Who’s in Minx season 2?
We know that Ophelia Lovibond will return as Joyce and Jake Johnson will return as Doug. Aside from that, we’re likely to see these returning faces:
- Jessica Lowe as Bambi, model and production coordinator at Bottom Dollar
- Lennon Parham as Shelly, Joyce’s sister
- Idara Victor as Tina, Doug’s assistant and lover
- Oscar Montoya as Richie, Bottom Dollar photographer
In addition to the returning cast, Elizabeth Perkins is joining Minx as a wealthy widow named Constance.
Minx season 2 release date: When does Minx season 2 come out?
After a long wait, we finally have Minx season 2’s release date. Minx season 2 will premiere on July 21 on Starz. That’s right around the corner! We don’t have to wait much longer for all the, um, feminism.
