Minx isn’t going quietly into the night. The period drama may have been cancelled by HBO Max after one season, but there’s optimism that the series will bounce back on another platform.
Actor Jake Johnson has taken to social media to send fans an update on the show’s status, noting that production on Season 2 is still continuing and nearing completion, despite the cancellation. Johnson expressed his excitement about the quality of work being produced for Season 2, and explained that he and the crew are hopeful that Minx Season 2 and 3 will ressurect elsewhere:
We’ve been removed from HBOMax but we’re still finishing the season. So thankfully they didn’t halt production. We’re about a week away from being finished shooting.
From what I am hearing S1 & S2 (and hopefully S3) will find a new home, the question is where. The crew really killed it this season. @blakemcclure crushed as DP. The set design/wardrobe/everything. It was truly impressive & worth watching. I am eager to find a new platform for these episodes.
We appreciate all the online support. We love making the show and hope to continue to. It’s a crazy business & that’s partly what’s so additive about it.
So hopefully we have good news to share soon.
Minx isn’t the only recently cancelled HBO Max show. Love Life, The Nevers and Sweet Life were all axed as part of cost-cutting measures.
However, we predict that Minx will indeed claw its way back from cancellation to deliver at least a second season elsewhere. Watch this space for updates.
