Minx fans have a reason to celebrate as they may once again see Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond) back on the small screen as its producer, Lionsgate, is now looking for its new home network or streamer that will air Minx Season 2.
HBO Max surprisingly canceled the show, reversing its decision to renew the series, when it had already filmed most of Minx Season 2 episodes. Since then, there have been hopes that a new outlet will pick up the show.

That said, Minx Season 2 may find a new home “in the next few days,” and though Netflix is not the perfect fit for it, there are many candidates out there.
