Despite being renewed for its second season, the acclaimed comedy Minx won’t return to HBO Max. The streamer canceled the show amid the ongoing end-of-the-year slate review, in addition to pulling several hit shows from its platform.
The comedy series led by Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson was well into the filming of its second season, set to wrap up this week. Its co-creator Lionsgate TV released an official statement thanking HBO Max for their “good partnership”, and said they’re working on finding a new home for Minx, so current and new viewers can continue this journey with them.
Minx is only the latest in the long line of shows to be pulled from HBO Max as the streamer goes through the slate review. They previously pulled Gordita Chronicles from its platform, followed by the removal of Anna Kendrick’s Love Life, which just happened to be HBO Max’s first original scripted show.
The Joss Whedon-created The Nevers has also been removed from HBO Max in the middle of its first season, but the biggest shocker came when the streamer decided to pull Westworld, as well. This sci-fi series is one of its most recognizable projects in the past few years, and it will likely resurface on some other streaming platform.
