‘Minx’: Starz Saves Canceled HBO Max Series With Pickup Of Seasons 1 & 2
12.01.2023 - 21:25 / deadline.com
Starz has rescued Minx, starring Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson, following its HBO Max cancellation. The Lionsgate-owned premium network has stepped in to pick up both Season 1 and the unaired Season 2 of the period erotic comedy, produced by Lionsgate Television.
Season 1 premiered on HBO Max in March 2022 and was renewed for a second season two months later. The streamer reversed a Season 2 renewal in December while the comedy series was in its final week of production. The cancellation was part of a larger programming purge at Warner Media Discovery following the company’s merger last April as part of cost-cutting tax write-offs.
With Starz’s pickup of both seasons of the Lionsgate TV series, Season 1 will be part of the network’s library and Season 2 will be a Starz exclusive. According to sources, Starz pursued Minx when it became available and stepped up to pick it up.
“We have always felt this show would be a perfect fit for our brand with our dedication to narratives by, about, and for women,” said Jeffrey Hirsch, President and CEO for Starz. “Starz is proud to be the new home for this incredible show that has drawn in well-deserved critical acclaim. 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.”
Media companies use their owned networks to pick up valuable series following their cancellation by a third-party buyer. The Universal Television-produced Magnum PI is a recent example; it was rescued by sibling NBC following the show’s cancellation by CBS. Lionsgate will be splitting Starz and the film/TV studio later this year.
Minx is set in 1970s Los Angeles and centers around Joyce (Lovibond), an earnest young feminist
