Minx - FAQs
Is Minx based on a true story?
Minx is not based on a specific true story, but it draws clear inspiration from the real-world launch of Playgirl magazine in 1973. Creator Ellen Rapoport used that cultural moment as a springboard to explore feminist ambition, sexual liberation, and the contradictions of the women's movement in the 1970s.
Why was Minx cancelled after two seasons?
Minx had an unusual journey: HBO Max cancelled it after Season 1, then STARZ picked it up and aired Season 2 before ultimately cancelling the series in 2023. The cancellation was attributed to shifting streaming strategies rather than poor critical reception, as the show was widely praised by critics throughout its run.
Where can you stream Minx?
Minx is available to stream on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads, as well as Spectrum On Demand and MovieSphere+ Amazon Channel. It can also be purchased or rented on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, Google Play Movies, and Fandango At Home.

Minx stars Ophelia Lovibond as Joyce, Jake Johnson as Doug, Jessica Lowe as Bambi, Oscar Montoya as Richie, Lennon Parham as Shelly, Idara Victor as Tina, Michael Angarano as Glenn, Rich Sommer as Lenny, Elizabeth Perkins as Constance, and Sofia Gonzalez as Rita.
How does Minx end in Season 2?
Season 2 sees Joyce and Doug navigate the growing success and mounting tensions surrounding Bottom Dollar magazine as the feminist movement evolves around them. The season ends on a note that resolves key character arcs, though the cancellation means the story concludes without a planned series finale.
How many episodes does Minx have in total?
Minx has 18 episodes across two seasons. Season 1 consists of 10 episodes and Season 2 consists of 8 episodes. The series premiered on March 17, 2022, and concluded in 2023 following its cancellation by STARZ after the second season.
