‘Minx’: Starz Saves Canceled HBO Max Series With Pickup Of Seasons 1 & 2
deadline.comStarz 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.
