The first season, from creator and showrunner Ellen Rapoport, Feigco Entertainment and Lionsgate Television, debuted in March on HBO Max and topped Esquire’s list of “Best TV Shows of 2022 (Thus Far).” All ten episodes are available on HBO Max.
Logline: MINX is set in 1970s Los Angeles and 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.
Season One Cast: Ophelia Lovibond, Jake Johnson, Idara Victor, Jessica Lowe, Lennon Parham, Michael Angarano and Oscar Montoya.
IndieWire praised MINX as a “savvy workplace comedy,” while Rolling Stone hailed it as “exceedingly charming” and The Hollywood Reporter highlighted its “flawless cast chemistry and snappy writing.”

Here’s to more chest hair, pussy bow blouses and tasteful nudes in Season 2.”
