A new comedy series is making its way to Stan, and the first look shows it will be a colouful blast from the past.

Produced by actor and filmmaker Paul Feig, Minx will premier Thursday 17th March, the same day as the U.S and exclusive to Stan.

Joined by Guardians of the Galaxy’s Ophelia Lovibond and New Girl’s Jake Johnson, Minx offers a bold, empowering and fresh perspective on the world of erotic magazine publishing.

Set in 1970s Los Angeles, a young feminist named Joyce (Lovibond) joins forces with a low-rent publisher (Johnson) to create the first erotic magazine for women.
In order for Joyce to get her career on track, the two protagonists must navigate their way through the challenges, conflicts and hardships the LA porn scene throws their way.

From flares and bell sleeves to miniskirts and pinstripe jackets, Minx will take the audience back to the eclectic era of 70’s fashion while exploring the social issues of the decade.
