When news broke in December that the then-HBO Max canceled Minx after one season, show fans were crushed. However thankfully, Starz came in at the eleventh hour and saved the show, and that brings us to Minx season 2.
Now for those not as familiar with the series, it’s an edgy comedy about a young feminist in the 1970s who is determined to make waves in the publishing world. But when she fails to find her dream job, she winds up taking a lead role at the first erotic magazine for women.
Sound interesting? Here’s everything we know about Minx season 2.

Minx season 2 plot
Here is the official synopsis for season 2:
"After Doug and Joyce sell Bottom Dollar to a retired shipping magnate with unlimited money and power, Minx becomes a commercial success, bringing more money, more fame and more temptations. Under new leadership, Doug struggles to find his footing and maintain his control within Bottom Dollar. Meanwhile, Joyce begins to lose sight of her core beliefs as she gets caught up in her rise to stardom. As our Bottom Dollar misfits go mainstream, they start to question who they’re becoming and what they really want from this newfound success."
