What is Minx About?
“Minx” revolves around the creation of a magazine of the same name – the first-ever erotic magazine made for women. This publication, spearheaded by young feminist Joyce Prigger, is a part of the second wave of feminism in the 1970s – the sexual revolution, where female sexual empowerment and freedom was a resounding movement. Joyce’s goal is to create a sex-positive magazine for women, not unlike the many publications that men already have. She runs into a couple of snags, especially since at that point the world was still very male-centric despite the feminist movement. However, she enlists the help of adult-magazine publisher Doug Renetti, and Minx magazine is finally put in motion.
“Minx” premiered on HBO Max in March 2022, but the TV company canceled the show just months after its second season was announced as renewed. Luckily, TV network Starz picked the series up, and its second season premiered on the Starz platform on July 2023.
