As announced today in a press release, HBO Max has given a series order to
Minx, a comedy series created by Ellen Rapoport and produced by Lionsgate and Paul Feig’s Feigco Entertainment. The series is about an “earnest young feminist” in ‘70s Los Angeles who teams up with a “low-rent publisher” to create the first porn magazine targeted toward women, with Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson set to star because who says “L.A. guy in the ‘70s publishing an erotic magazine for women” better than Nick Miller? (Absolutely nobody.)
HBO Max is going to be blessing us with
Jake Johnson on our TV screens again. And in a erotic half-hour comedy, no less. Well, the “erotic” part doesn’t necessarily describe what Johnson will be doing (well, maybe…), but refers to instead the premise: a 1970s-set comedy about a feminist who helps create the first erotic magazine for women.
HBO Max announced that it has ordered 10 episodes of the half-hour comedy
Minx from
Ophelia Lovibond (
Elementary) and Johnson (
New Girl) and “centers around an earnest young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher to create the first erotic magazine for women” in 1970s Los Angeles. The series is described as a “fun, feminist, and wholly unique” project by HBO Max.
