The ten-episode Max Original comedy, MINX, debuts THURSDAY, MARCH 17 on HBO Max, with two new episodes debuting each week through April 14.

MINX is the story of Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond), an earnest, if overly pedantic young feminist activist looking to publish a feminist magazine in 1970s Los Angeles, California, the series take a turn for the strange when she teams up with Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson), a low-rent publisher, to produce the world's first erotic magazine for women. But when their creation “Minx” launches, it proves a lightning rod of controversy as protestors aim to shut it down.

‘Minx’ Creator on Feminism, Comedy and Going “Tit for Tat” With Male Nudity

4. Showrunner Spotlight
Ellen Rapoport, creator of HBO Max’s upcoming Minx, opens up about the 1970s porn magazines for women that inspired her feminist comedy. “I read something about one of these magazines and it struck me immediately: these magazines in the 1970s were feminist magazines, which I’d had no idea about,” she says. “It was a workplace that was populated by feminists and pornographers. If you’re a TV writer and read that and don’t immediately think ‘workplace comedy,’ they take away your WGA card.” The half-hour series, which stars Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson, was pitched and passed over at a number of outlets — including NBC — before finding a home at the WarnerMedia-backed streamer, but the show’s male nudity was never discussed. “I didn’t say we were going to have 30 flaccid penises in the pilot,” Rapoport jokes. “I wanted as many as we could afford; I wanted all different kinds, body types, penis sizes, races and specialty ones.” Ultimately, Rapoport says she hopes the show’s use of full-frontal male nudity subverts expectations and doesn’t come off as gratuitous. “I wanted to do the thing you came for,” she notes. “It felt like a cheat to not have full-frontal male nudity in pilot and then we don’t revisit it until episode 104. I didn’t want to be a one-trick pony and have penises flopping around in every episode. The way male nudity is used is really gratuitous and I don’t have problem with that. That’s what Playgirl and Viva were doing. I wanted to go tit for tat so women would be able to see men naked.”

If Lionsgate has already paid for the majority of the season 2 production I would assume they would be willing to accept a bargain price to help offset some of the cost.  Either way, I hope and expect someone to sign on.
