January 12, 2023
Starz Jan. 12 announced it has picked up seasons one and two of the critically acclaimed comedy series “Minx,” one of the victims of HBO Max’s late-2022 content slashing. Starz will exclusively premiere the second season of the show, which is set in 1970s Los Angeles.
Ellen Rapoport, “Minx” creator, showrunner and executive producer, said in a statement, “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the Starz family, and for the opportunity to introduce ‘Minx’ to a brand-new audience. We’ve found the perfect home. Our writers, cast and crew have created something truly special in season two, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
“We have always felt this show would be a perfect fit for our brand with our dedication to narratives by, about and for women,” Jeffrey Hirsch, president and CEO of Starz, said in a statement. “We’re excited to welcome Ellen and the talented ‘Minx’ team to the network and can’t wait to bring its passionate fans the second season.”
