After its initial launch of promising content, HBO Max has made a number of cuts and cancellations over the last year, which included fans being given the disappointing news that the TV series Minx wouldn’t be returning, despite Season 2 having nearly wrapped production, but luckily STARZ stepped in to become the new home of the project. As if the series’ return wasn’t exciting enough, STARZ has revealed today that the new season is set to premiere on both the linear STARZ as well as the app in July. Minx Season 2 is set to premiere on STARZ on July 21st.

Per press release, “STARZ announced today that the second season of the critically acclaimed comedy Minx will premiere on Friday, July 21st at midnight on the STARZ app and all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.

“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 2, Doug and Joyce grapple with Minx’s explosive success, which brings more money, fame, and temptation than either of them knows how to handle.
