If you have ever heard of Viva magazine from the 70s, then this upcoming comedy series will remind you of that publication, at least to some extent. Minx is an all-new, racy comedy that is a wildly different stance on 70s feminism and showcases how one woman takes an unconventional approach to create content for women.
The plot follows an ambitious feminist and writer who wants to publish a new kind of magazine for women but gets shot down by publishers. And then she meets a publisher of a porn magazine who gives her an opportunity that would change her life, career, and the lives of the women she wanted to influence.
Minx is created by Ellen Rapoport, who is also an executive producer on the series, along with Paul Feig (The Office, Freaks and Geeks), and Dan Magnante. The raunch-com series stars Ophelia Lovibond, Jake Johnson, Idara Victor, Oscar Montoya, Jessica Lowe, Lennon Parham, and Michael Angarano in leading roles.
As explosive and radical as it may seem or sound, Minx is sure to bring back a lot of nostalgia of the second wave of feminism, and the flamboyance of the 70s, albeit with some raunchiness. So, while you wait for the comedy series to release, hereโs when, where, and how you can watch Minx.
