Life is difficult for Minx.

The comedy collection about an erotic girls’s journal within the Nineteen Seventies has been canceled… once more. EW has discovered that Starz doesn’t have plans to develop a 3rd season of Minx.

Minx initially premiered on Max (then HBO Max) again in 2022, and the streaming platform greenlit the present for a second season, which was only some days from wrapping manufacturing when Warner Bros. Discovery unceremoniously canceled it as a tax write-off.

Produced by Lionsgate Television, Minx found new life at Starz, the place it is second season aired in July 2023, coming to the display screen simply because the SAG-AFTRA strike was starting, hampering the forged’s means to advertise the present.

Sources inform EW that each seasons of the present will stay accessible on the Starz app and all main platforms.

Star Jake Johnson beforehand hinted at his personal skepticism for the present’s future, even reducing his hair, which he had grown out to play porn publishing magnate Doug. “I think the move to Starz, I think HBO kind of doing their HBO thing, or HBO Max, whatever it’s called now, I think that was brutal for [the show],” he informed Deadline. “Then, I think the strike coming out right as we were trying to promote it… My guess is you can’t beat something up that many times and keep going.”

Season 2 ended its run in September with many questions nonetheless remaining as to the way forward for Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond), Doug, and Bottom Dollar Publishing. After realizing that Constance (Elizabeth Perkins) was an insidious affect, Joyce went rogue, becoming a member of Richie (Oscar Montoya),  Shelly (Lennon Parham), Bambi (Jessica Lowe), and Tina (Idara Victor) to publish their very own model of Minx.

Meanwhile, Doug fell prey to Constance’s supply of cash and energy, leaping straight into her mattress. And a connection appeared to be forming between Bambi and Lenny (Rich Sommer), whereas Bambi contemplated in search of refuge with Jim Jones and his followers.

In brief, the story was removed from over. “We have a lot of story to tell,” creator Ellen Rapoport informed EW at the conclusion of season 2. “I definitely want season 3.”

But alas, that isn’t to be as Bottom Dollar Publishing closes its doorways one final time.
